MINNESOTA, USA — National grocer Hy-Vee has selected Minnesota as one of eight states to test its new technology, which could let users skip long lines at the store.
The app will let users pay for items they want directly on their phones after scanning the items barcodes. Shoppers will still have to stop by the mobile checkout kiosk, but Hy-Vee said those stops, which will be at the front of the store, won’t take much time.
“Hy-Vee Scan & Go is our NEW mobile checkout technology, offering a quick and convenient way to shop and pay for your groceries,” said Hy-Vee in a statement.
Shoppers will have to ensure they have the proper app installed because Scan and Go will only be available on the new Hy-Vee Scan and Go app.
The Minnesotan Hy-Vee locations piloting the new app are:
Austin - 1307 18th Ave NW
