7-Eleven Wants To Be Even More Convenient, Expands Scan-And-Pay Test

In another sign that mobile self-checkout isn't just a fad, 7-Eleven, the world's largest convenience store chain, has hopped on the hot mobile scan-and-go bandwagon and introduced its own test service to allow customers to skip the checkout line.

After a three-month trial at its Irving, Texas, headquarters store this year, the retailer is testing its Scan & Pay service in 14 more stores in nearby Dallas, with plans to expand it to more cities next year, said Gurmeet Singh, 7-Eleven’s chief digital officer and chief information officer, adding that the company built the prototype technology in-house in just five weeks.

We saw a great adoption and feedback.”

With the move, 7-Eleven joins retailers like Dollar General, Kroger and Walmart’s Sam’s Club that also have their own mobile scan-and-pay services.

About 50% of the U.S. population lives within one mile of a 7-Eleven, the company said.

It had a 28% share of the U.S. convenience store market last year, more than four times the 6% share held by No.
