Village Market Food Centers Checks Out Self-Checkout from StoreNextMurk's Village Market Inc., an eight-store regional independent grocer based in South Haven, Mich., has selected the Fujitsu U-Scan self-checkout system from StoreNext Retail Technologies LLC. Murk's plans to install a four-lane self-checkout system at its flagship South Haven store in April.
According to Chuck Kocks, senior account manager for Kalamazoo's Cash Register Sales and Service Inc. ( CRS ), Murk's will be one of the first independents in southwest Michigan to install self-checkout. Kocks says that Murk's is also building a new replacement store at the South Haven location. When completed, the new 46,250 sq. ft. supermarket will employ five traditional checkout lanes in addition to four self-checkout units, plus a shopper courtesy booth and full-service deli.
"It's critically important that we maintain our leadership position and reputation for outstanding customer service in this market," said Stephen Murk, president and general manager. "Self-checkout gives us the opportunity to leverage our heritage with another technological innovation that gives new service options to our customers."
"Self-checkout provides an excellent competitive tool for Murk's in a highly competitive industry," said Ray Carlin, StoreNext president and CEO. "By implementing technology such as U-Scan, it really puts them on a level playing field with the large national chains."
Murk's store on highway M140 already uses StoreNext's ISS45 point-of-sale system for store management applications, as well as Fujitsu scanner-scales and TeamPoS 2000 POS terminals with touch screens. Murk's other Village Markets range from three- to 12-lane formats measuring from about 20,000 sq. ft. to 50,000 sq. ft. CRS of Kalamazoo, a StoreNext dealer, has provided sales, service and support to Murk's for more than 25 years.
