[Raleigh, USA] JUXTA, the global technology and micro-convenience company, unveiled its innovative Nomad solution, which is rapidly gaining traction with EV value chain companies and various retail partners across the US.
The Nomad debuted at the Renewal 2023 Festival in Buena Vista, Colorado, where it demonstrated its unique ability to serve thousands of festival-goers in remote locations around the clock.
JUXTA recently forged a significant partnership with Choice Market, a prominent Denver-based retailer with locations throughout Colorado. The first Choice Market Nomad microstore will open in Denver, marking the first portable, autonomous convenience store— in Colorado - a game changer in traditional retail.
Another exciting retail partnership was formed with Golden Pantry Food Stores, headquartered in Watkinsville, Georgia. Their first Nomad store will be located in Wire Park, a modern mixed-use development converted from a repurposed factory. The integration of JUXTA's standalone store into such a versatile location is designed to serve a diverse audience, and operate 24/7 without the need for on-site staff.
Om Shankar, co-founder of JUXTA, was enthusiastic about the rapid adoption of the Nomad micro-retail concept: "Signing retail partners and receiving inquiries from some of the world's largest EV OEMs validates JUXTA's vision for the Nomad solution. Our proprietary technology and store format has the potential to revolutionize the industry, by addressing several retail challenges, including real estate costs, squeezed profit margins, labor shortages, and more. The Nomad provides a comprehensive solution while maximizing profitability."
Shankar emphasized the value of the real-time data provided by the Nomad, which enables operators to optimize their retail strategies and target customers effectively, while minimizing waste and increasing efficiency.
One of the key benefits of Nomad is its efficient use of space, with 264 square feet dedicated to stocking between 500 and 600 fast-moving, high-margin items. Shelf and cabinet sensors, coupled with cameras, facilitate a seamless shopping experience, with AI-driven technology compiling purchases for groups of shoppers. Customers can review their selections on a touchscreen or trust the technology to process payments and record purchases.
In summary, JUXTA's Nomad is changing the convenience retail landscape, providing innovative solutions to common challenges and reshaping the way consumers shop.
