April 19, 2006

ATLANTA - Associated Wholesale Grocers Inc. (AWG), the second-largest cooperative grocery wholesaler in the United States, has signed an agreement with NCR Corp. to jointly market and promote NCR's store-automation and self-service products to AWG members.

"This agreement represents a great opportunity to further expand our technology offerings to retailers of all sizes who strive to be successful in an ever-changing competitive environment," said Bruce Donis, NCR vice president for U.S. retail sales.

AWG will certify NCR retail technology to its 1,600 independent grocers and regional chains across a 21-state area. The agreement covers NCR Advanced Checkout Solution software for independent retailers and NCR's line of retail terminals and peripherals, including the NCR RealPOS DynaKey user interface and NCR RealScan Bi-Optic Scanner/Scales. As part of the agreement, NCR's dealer community also will co-market AWG's chosen back-office solution to the members' stores.
