Stop & Shop Introduces In-Store Kiosks for Digital Coupon Access
The grocery chain's new 'Savings Stations' aim to make discounts more accessible to customers without smartphones or internet access.
- Stop & Shop is rolling out 'Savings Stations' kiosks across all 365 stores in the Northeast U.S. by early January 2025.
- The kiosks allow customers to access digital coupons by scanning a loyalty card or entering a phone number, eliminating the need for a smartphone or internet connection.
- The initiative addresses concerns raised by consumer advocacy groups about digital-only deals excluding seniors and low-income shoppers without reliable internet access.
- Customers can print a list of available coupons from the kiosks for easy reference while shopping, with discounts automatically applied at checkout.
- Consumer advocates hope this move will encourage other grocery chains to adopt similar measures to improve accessibility to savings.
