On March 9, Marymount University became the first higher education institution in the U.S. to have an on-campus convenience store powered by Amazon\u2019s Just Walk Out technology<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Located in the lobby of Gerard Phelan Hall<\/a> on Marymount\u2019s main campus in Arlington, the new convenience shop \u2013 Saints 24 \u2013 opened to the University community for the first time on Friday. The implementation of Amazon\u2019s cutting-edge Just Walk Out technology is designed to eliminate checkout lines and provide an effortless customer experience. Customers simply use their credit card at the entry gates of Saints 24, grab what they need and the technology automatically detects what is taken from (or returned to) store shelves, creating a virtual shopping cart. When customers have completed their shopping, they can leave the store without stopping to check out, and their credit card will be charged for the items they took.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt Marymount, we are proud to be known as \u2018Arlington\u2019s University,\u2019<\/a> as no other college or university has its main campus within Arlington County. And in recent years, we have seen Arlington rise even higher in importance for our nation\u2019s economy \u2013 with no better example than Amazon\u2019s decision to locate its HQ2 right here,\u201d said Dr. Irma Becerra<\/a>, President of Marymount University. \u201cBecoming the first university in the U.S. to collaborate with Amazon in incorporating its Just Walk Out technology at an on-campus convenience shop demonstrates how Marymount is leading the way in fostering an innovative and exciting student experience that appeals to the tech-savvy college students of today.\u201d<\/p>\n

In initial planning for the Saints 24 store, Marymount administrators surveyed student leaders in the University\u2019s Student Government Association (SGA)<\/a> to hear firsthand what products they would most like to see in a new convenience shop on campus. Their recommendations led to an available item list that includes food options featuring freshly prepared sandwiches, wraps, salads, sushi, yogurt and ice cream, as well as other items such as toiletries, feminine hygiene products and more.<\/p>\n

\u201cMarymount is committed to providing students with new and exciting on-campus experiences that cater to their needs, and we\u2019re proud to collaborate on their first checkout-free store,\u201d said Dilip Kumar, Vice President of AWS Applications. \u201cNow, students and guests can grab food, beverages and other essentials in a way that is easy and convenient for them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Next month, Marymount will hold a grand opening ceremony event for Saints 24 on Thursday, April 20.<\/p>\n
