Airports open self-serve gadget vending machines
Best Buy Co. Inc., the nation's largest consumer electronics retailer, is partnering with ZoomSystems, a San Francisco-based vending machine company, for a pilot program called “Best Buy Express.”
The plans for this project will include installation of a dozen small, automated kiosk stores inside major airports across the country. The vending machines will stock cell phone and computer accessories, along with digital cameras, portable data storage devices, headphones, travel adapters, electronic chargers, and other gadgets.
Beginning September 1, these self-serve kiosks can be found in Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Houston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Minneapolis and San Francisco airports.
