Royal Farms, Baltimore, is partnering with Bitstop, a Miami-based digital currency platform company, to offer cryptocurrency ATMs in its convenience stores.
Bitstop’s digital currency kiosks, also referred to as bitcoin ATMs, can now be found at 310 Royal Farms locations with additional installations planned at all future store openings, Bitstop said in a statement on Thursday.
- Royal Farms is No. 30 on CSP’s 2025 Top 202 ranking of U.S. convenience-store chains by store count.
“At Royal Farms, we’re always looking to enhance the convenience and value we offer our customers,” said Frank Schilling, director of procurement at Royal Farms.
Schilling said that partnering with Bitstop allows the convenience-retail operator to meet growing demand for digital currency services in a safe, secure, user-friendly way.
“Whether it’s everyday essentials, world-famous chicken, or digital currency, we’re committed to innovation that builds trust with every transaction while living our mission: delight customers in a way that creates loyalty,” he said.
Doug Carrillo, co-founder and chief strategy officer of Bitstop, said the collaboration with Royal Farms represents more than just scale.
“By placing Bitstop ATMs in every Royal Farms location, we’re giving customers trusted access to invest in the digital economy, right where they shop, fuel up and eat,” he said.
The partnership makes Bitstop the exclusive crypto ATM provider for Royal Farms. Under the agreement, Bitstop ATMs will offer a range of digital currencies, including bitcoin, dogecoin and more.
Royal Farms opened its first c-store in Baltimore in 1959 under the name White Jug. Today, the mid-Atlantic chain has more than 300 locations in Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia, West Virginia and North Carolina.
