Sheetz to deploy Blockbuster Express kiosks

Ga. Convenient store chain Sheetz is adding NCR Corp.’s Blockbuster Express-branded DVD-rental kiosks to nearly all 365 of its locations.

This represents NCR’s first major Blockbuster Express kiosk deployment in six new markets located throughout North Carolina; Ohio; Pennsylvania; and West Virginia.

The kiosks will be located outside Sheetz stores and will be available for rentals 24/7 by the end of the month.

Customers swipe their credit card and are charged $1 per night until they return the DVD to any Blockbuster Express kiosk.

“At Sheetz, we deliver convenience to our busy customers,” said Josh Campbell, beverage/general merchandising sales manager, Sheetz. “We considered a number of different options when adding a DVD-rental partner. It is clear that NCR is thinking about the future of entertainment while providing the best customer experience today. We also liked that they were able to quickly deploy the kiosks across almost all of our stores.”
