Convenience Store Chain Adds Music Download Kiosks

Ten Quick Chek convenience stores in New York and New Jersey are hosting digital music kiosks from NCR Corp. and MOD Systems, offering customers the ability to purchase MP3 songs and albums from “all major labels” as well as independents.

The Download2Go kiosk deal marks Quick Chek’s entrance into the entertaiment products category. “We are excited to bring digital music products to our customers that differentiate our brand, attract new customers, and integrate well into our sales and marketing campaigns,” says John Schaninger, Quick Chek’s VP of sales and marketing. The company operates 125 locations in New Jersey and the southern part of New York State.

Download2Go kiosk customers transfer music onto SD cards, USB drives, or directly to portable music players, paying for their purchases with a credit card.

The rollout follows MOD Systems’ deployment of Download2Go digital movie kiosks this summer in 30 InMotion Entertainment stores in airports throughout the U.S.

“Retailers are looking for opportunities to capture customer interest in digital entertainment or take back sales that have shifted from their stores to online,” says Anthony Bay, MOD Systems chief executive. “Consumers can now build their digital music collections outside the home without requiring connectivity, while retailers can sell the latest entertainment content in a way that drives impulse purchases and repeat customer visits.”
