Meijer has expanded its Shop & Scan checkout option to all its locations in Ohio.
The service is now available in 179 stores in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin, according to a news release.
Shoppers use a free app to facilitate the process, and that app has been downloaded more than 1.1 million times since the Shop & Scan pilot launch in Michigan last year.
Popular features of the app include the shopping list and ability to clip coupons for items being scanned.
“We’re all challenged by time and busy schedules, so Shop & Scan allows customers the opportunity to truly be in control of their shopping trip, from the moment they walk in our stores to the minute they walk out,” Tom Wilson, regional vice president, said in the release. “Customers are appreciative of the simplicity of scanning and bagging as they go because they can save time and avoid lines, speeding up their checkout experience.”
