Macy’s To Get iPod Vending Machines
Jul 16th, 2007 | By James Lewin | Category: iPods & Portable Media PlayersFederated Department Stores will begin rolling out iPod-dispensing vending machines to 180 Macy’s locations nationwide this fall.
The vending machines and inventory are owned and maintained by Zoom Systems, a San Francisco company that has been placing its robotic vending machines in airports, hotels, malls and other high-traffic locations.
The latest deployment, dubbed Zoom@Macy’s, follows a recent test at Macy’s’ Union Square store in San Francisco. According to Federated chairman Terry Lundgren, who announced the rollout during the company’s annual shareholder meeting here last week, the vending machines will initially carry iPods and accessories although other CE products and brands, including Sony and Motorola, may be added to the mix.
