Press Release
SAN MATEO, Calif. September 14, 2022. Zippin, a leading provider of checkout-free technology, is continuing its momentum with the introduction of Zippin Lane, a new turnkey solution that enables retailers and concessionaires to deploy checkout-free stores in under a week. More than 20 Zippin Lanes have already opened this year, including nine locations at major NFL venues in the last month: Nashville’s Nissan Stadium is now home to five Zippin Lanes, while Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas has unveiled four new stores.
The introduction of Zippin Lane to Zippin’s product line-up is the latest step in the company’s mission to accelerate the adoption of checkout-free commerce. Zippin is dedicated to meeting the needs of today’s operators and partners who want to provide the latest technology and innovation to their customers while operating in a challenging labor market The company offers a variety of flexible approaches including retrofits, new store construction, and now Zippin Lane.
“The frictionless retail economy is gaining momentum as shoppers, fans and travelers demand easier, faster, and more convenient ways to get things done,” said Krishna Motukui, Zippin co-founder and CEO. “We see a big opportunity to maximize underused space in numerous locations from narrow concourses in venues and airports, to high-traffic walkways on college campuses. Zippin Lane is our answer to the surging demand to quickly deploy frictionless retail experiences.”
With the advent of Zippin Lane, concessionaires and operators can immediately benefit from the following:
Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas, is already experiencing strong ROI, including:
“Las Vegas is a global destination for sports and entertainment,” said Sandra Douglass Morgan, President of the Las Vegas Raiders. “Deploying these four Zippin Lanes with our partner, Levy, for the start of the NFL season was a large segment of our commitment to constantly improve the fan experience at Allegiant Stadium. The innovative design allows our guests to enjoy the benefits of frictionless shopping, while we experience increased throughput for every event.”
Building and sustaining a vibrant partner ecosystem is core to Zippin’s ability to deploy checkout-free retail at scale. Leaders like Aramark, Levy, and Mastercard have partnered with Zippin and are reaping the benefits from operational and revenue improvements at major venues like the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, NC, and Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, IN.
At Zippin we believe this is evidence of an ever-growing frictionless economy, fueled by technology that gives people an inherently ‘human’ way to do their daily tasks and chores, such as shopping (enter, take what you need and leave), adding items to a calendar (speaking to your phone or computer), and in the future, driving (self-driving cars).
