Grabango, the leading provider of checkout-free technology for existing stores, has partnered with MAPCO, the convenience store chain with stores throughout the Southeastern region of the U.S., to add checkout-free operation to its locations, beginning in Tennessee.

“Grabango and MAPCO share a vision to simplify things for the on-the-go consumer,” said Will Glaser, CEO of Grabango. “We are excited to bring checkout-free shopping to a new region. As Grabango enters its fifth major metro area, we are pleased to be able to offer this free service to MAPCO’s customers.”
Grabango’s checkout-free services will be available for shoppers in two Tennessee stores by fall 2022, one of which will be MAPCO’s newly designed format that presents a holistic “store of the future” experience. This marks the first time shoppers in Nashville can save time with checkout-free technology. MAPCO operates more than 330 convenience and fuel retailing stores across Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, Arkansas, Virginia, Kentucky and Mississippi.
“Our team is constantly thinking of ways to always improve MAPCO’s guest experience,” said Frederic Chaveyriat, chief executive officer at MAPCO. “We’re committed to helping our guests take a Better Break, where they can refresh and recharge at their pace with quality products and services at convenient prices that are more relevant to them, and Grabango’s shopper-focused offering combined with their proven success in the market, is why we’ve chosen them to help us execute on our shared vision.”
