A note about coronavirus (COVID-19)
We know the COVID-19 situation is evolving quickly. We’re as concerned as you are about keeping our staff and our community safe, and we’re tracking the situation closely with the guidance of public health experts. While our events are many months away, we are prepared to take whatever steps are necessary to protect our members, attendees, staff and associates. We won’t hold a show if it’s not safe, and we will refund you if the show is cancelled. You can track the status of events here and access NRF’s COVID-19 resources here.

The biggest autonomous store REWE To Go and Lekkerland SE have been launched at Koblenz Central train station, in Germany.
REWE Group has launched a REWE Ready ‘smart shop’ at the EnBW Hypernetz EV Charging Hub in Lichtenau/Chemnitz, Germany. Customers can buy Rewe and Go sandwiches, wraps, salads, get a beer, buy cigarettes, and enjoy a cappuccino while they are charging their cars. Lekkerland SE customer preferences have changed. End consumers want to shop 24/7, fast, and with as few contacts as possible. Shoppers tap their card, open the door, take their products, close the door, and leave within 30 seconds.The combination of computer vision cameras with sensor fusion enables us to offer end consumers a unique, reliable, and seamless way of shopping. The time to market and the ease of implementation: smart fridges are plug and play devices. Going live is a matter of seconds. New products are added within a couple of minutes. All temperature zones are possible. Shopping by Tap&Go or by mobile Application and much more.
The first Carrefour Buybye, measuring just 18 sqm, is located at the retailer’s Belgian headquarters in Zaventem (near Brussels). The tiny shop consists of refrigerators where customers can buy their lunch, snacks, cold drinks and fruit. However, users do have to download the Carrefour Buybye app, create an account and add a payment method before they can use the app to open the fridges, take out products and checkout.
It will only be open Monday to Friday from 7 to 22h to start with, but from January it will be open seven days a week. The new format aims to provide a practical solution for everyday grocery shopping: the idea behind the autonomous micro shops is to serve consumers as close as possible to their homes and workplaces. Carrefour will also offer it to all its existing physical shops, which can use it to expand their operations.
