Marymount University is opening a convenience store on its main Arlington campus Friday with a unique feature \u2014 Amazon.com Inc.’s (NASDAQ: AMZN) Just Walk Out technology<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The private, Catholic liberal arts university is the first higher education institution to incorporate Amazon\u2019s technology, most often seen in Amazon Fresh grocery stores, in an on-campus store, Marymount spokesman Nick Munson said. The Saints 24 store sits inside the 200-bed Gerard Phelan Hall, in a lobby previously used as a check-in desk and since renovated as a student lounge and store. Chantilly-based Constructure Inc. oversaw the project\u2019s construction.<\/p>\n

\u201cMarymount is leading the way in fostering an innovative and exciting student experience that appeals to the tech-savvy college students of today,\u201d Marymount President Irma Becerra said in a statement.<\/p>\n

An Amazon spokeswoman confirmed Marymount is the first third-party user of the tech in the D.C. area.<\/p>\n

The cost and length of the university\u2019s contract with Amazon is unclear. Munson declined to comment, saying the agreement is confidential. Amazon declined to address the deal itself.<\/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

Amazon\u2019s checkout-free technology is true to its name, using QR code and overhead camera technology to capture sales.<\/p>\n

Just Walk Out technology started in Amazon Go grocery stores, some of which have started to close in cities<\/a> such as Seattle, San Francisco and New York<\/a>. Locally, the tech debuted with the opening of the Logan Circle Amazon Fresh in July 2021. Other local Amazon Fresh<\/a> and Amazon-owned Whole Foods Markets have since launched<\/a> with the technology.<\/p>\n

In the U.S. and internationally the company also offers its tech to third-party retailers. In September, staff of the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority told the authority board that convenience-style stores powered by Amazon’s Just Walk Out were planned for both Reagan National and Dulles International airports<\/a>. <\/p>\n

At Saints 24, students will present their credit cards to enter into the store and will be charged for their purchases once they leave, Munson said. The store\u2019s inventory, developed through a survey of Student Government Association leaders, includes sandwiches, wraps, salads, yogurt, sushi, ice cream and toiletries, the university said.<\/p>\n

George Washington University uses similar technology for a convenience store located inside its recently renovated Thurston Hall<\/a>. But it\u2019s not Amazon\u2019s \u2014 the technology is contracted from San Francisco startup Standard Cognition by the university\u2019s dining partner.<\/p>\n
