The installation into the Cutchogue Valero c-store will serve as East End's pilot for the system. The company said that it expects to complete the installation by the end of March, and it expects broadcasting to commence April 1, 2014.
"We are excited about the benefits of having a mobile solution available to our customers," said Rob Chase, CEO of East End. "To be able to provide our customers with an offer on their mobile device should help increase foot traffic into our stores."
