Bowling Green, KY - Pan-Oston announced today that the company’s UtopiaTM self-checkout solution has been operating flawlessly in a Crossroads Market location for the past 90 days. This milestone is another significant indication of the applicability of self-checkout technology for the C-Store industry. “We selected the Utopia self-checkout solution for our new Crossroads Market store because we just wanted to make our customers happy and our stores more profitable,” said Stephen Reed, Director of Operations.

UtopiaTM is the only Plug-and-Go, PCI compatible self-checkout solution that is flexible and robust enough for any size C-Store. UtopiaTM is the only self-service checkout solution that is simple to install, manage and update, integrates with pre-pay-at-the pump, works with or without POS systems, is scalable, and can be up and running in hours. “We have been amazed at the positive customer reaction to our self-checkout, and labor costs have improved too,” noted Jenny Sheffield from Crossroads Market. |
UtopiaTM can help C-Store operators overcome one of the most frequently mentioned customer complaints – standing behind someone buying lottery tickets when you just want to pay for your gas or other purchases.
“UtopiaTM can be retrofitted into existing counters, or be placed on top of existing counters. It is the next stage in the evolution of C-Store self-service started over a decade ago by pay-at-the pump gas service,” said Jim Vance, President of Pan-Oston.
