Macy’s Gets iPod Vending Machines
Sunday, May 21st, 2006 at 3:00 PM - by Jeff Gamet
Macy's will dip its foot back into the retail consumer electronics market again by adding iPod vending machines to its stores this fall. The company plans to install Zoom Stores robotic vending machines stocked with iPods in stores across 32 cities according to The Buffalo News. The retailer stopped selling consumer electronics after the market proved to be unprofitable in its stores.
Terry J. Lundgren, president and CEO of Macy's parent company, Federated, commented "This is exciting because it brings most-wanted merchandise into our stores in a unique new way. It gets us back into a category we know our customers want."
Each vending machine will be owned and operated by Zoom Stores, and Macy's will take a cut off of each item sold. The Zoom Stores vending machines will initially be stocked only with iPods, but other electronic devices may be added later.
