NCR brings DVD kiosks to Brookshire Grocery

DULUTH, Ga. NCR is gearing up to install Blockbuster Express-branded DVD-rental kiosks in a regional grocery store chain.

The kiosks will be installed in Brookshire Grocery stores throughout Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Mississippi. NCR anticipates fully deploying to the chain within the first three months of 2010.

NCR’s kiosks hold more than 900 DVDs, giving customers a great choice of new releases and classic titles. NCR began deploying Blockbuster Express kiosks in Brookshire Grocery in 2009, with about 100 kiosks installed at the chain at the end of the year.

“For more than 80 years, Brookshire Grocery has strived to give our customers a great shopping experience. Through our new relationship with NCR, we are able to give our customers the convenience and savings associated with BLOCKBUSTER Express DVD rentals,” said Don Gaynier, Brookshire Grocery. “We considered many of the leading DVD kiosk providers, and we were most impressed with NCR’s rapid growth in the space.”

No membership is required to rent a DVD at a Blockbuster Express kiosk – customers simply swipe their credit card and are charged $1 per night until they return the DVD. For a full list of titles available through Blockbuster Express kiosks, visit www.blockbusterexpress.com.
