Convenience-store retailer Chestnut Market has deployed Mashgin's AI-powered checkout system at its Bethel, Connecticut, location and plans to deploy the checkout system into additional stores this year.

This marks the first Shell-branded store to roll out Mashgin's technology, which integrates with Shell's payment network through the Invenco EDGEPro device.

The Invenco EDGEPro device enables options for third party point of sale (POS) systems to be integrated at retail stations, like Mashgin's AI system and Shell's payment network.

“After witnessing the tremendous success of Mashgin's technology at our Hutchinson Parkway location, where we completely eliminated checkout lines, we're excited to bring this same level of convenience to this location’s customers,” said Faheem Jamal, director of retail at Chestnut Market. “Retail is detail, and keeping lines short is a big one. This continued expansion demonstrates our commitment to enhancing the customer experience through innovative, practical technology.”

Chestnut Market recently won a store design award for its Hutchinson Parkway location that features six Mashgin kiosks.

“We're excited to add Mashgin, one of the quickest and most intuitive AI POS options for Shell-branded locations,” said Elaine Mohr, general manager of operations at Shell Mobility Americas. “This seamless integration demonstrates the value brought to stores with EDGEPro technology as it rolls out across the country.”
