First Class Vending, in collaboration with Mars Wrigley and Aramark, has opened an unattended Frictionless Market at the University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV).
Powered by Zippin’s platform, this lets customers grab items, and exit, eliminating the need for traditional checkouts.
“We are excited to introduce the Frictionless Market to the UNLV community,” says Matthew Marsh, CEO at First Class Vending.
“This innovative concept aligns perfectly with our commitment to providing cutting-edge vending solutions that enhance convenience and efficiency. With Zippin’s advanced technology and Mars Wrigley’s support, we are confident that this market will exceed expectations and become a hub of convenience for the UNLV campus.”
