Dollar General is experimenting with cashierless technology in one of its North Carolina stores.
The discount retailer has partnered with AI retail tech company AiFi to offer the cashierless technology in Banner Elk, N.C., reports Business Insider. AiFi is a startup that positions itself against Amazon’s Just Walk Out technology, and currently has systems in over 100 stores globally.
“Consistent with our ongoing strategy to continually look for new ways to meet our customers’ value and convenience needs, we recently piloted a store with frictionless technology,” Dollar General told Insider. “While we do not currently plan to expand this technology, we instead will continue to test and learn.”
