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.
