C-store chain 7-Eleven is redefining the convenience store experience with a new concept called a “lab store.” The company recently opened the new concept in Dallas where shoppers can try and buy the retailer’s latest innovations.

U.S.-based Self-pay kiosk innovator Three Square Market (32M) is set to open another self-pay convenience store and its seventh overall through a partnership with James Vending and JV Marketplace.

When it comes to checkout and payment, new technologies are abounding and retailers across all industries are trying to keep up.

As technology advances, improved hardware can make a big difference in retail performance, but equally critical — or potentially even more important — is data and how it is used.

The brick-and-mortar retail industry is undergoing seismic shifts driven by digital enablement and intense online competition.

Competition is rapid in the convenience store channel, as retailers of all kinds introduce new formats, offers and amenities in an effort to compete.

Amazon-owned Whole Foods, which revealed it was abandoning its 365 concept and looking to other formats to expand its footprint, recently opened a Whole Foods Market Daily Shop in New York’s Chelsea neighborhood.
