Food City, Bashas’ stores implement NCR’s Blockbuster DVD-rental kiosks
Duluth, Ga. More than 100 Bashas’ and Food City supermarkets in Arizona have installed Blockbuster Express DVD-rental kiosks from NCR Corp.
Each kiosk holds more than 900 DVDs and no membership is required -- customers can just swipe their credit card and are charged $1 per night for a rental. A DVD can then be returned to any Express kiosk, not just where the DVD was rented.
“Our customers can now get great deals on everyday grocery items and new-release movie rentals at our stores,” said Kristy Nied, director of communications for Bashas’ Family of Stores. “The kiosk allows us to combine an inexpensive at-home meal with an affordable, convenient entertainment option.”
