September 20, 2009

Quick Chek, a chain of fresh food stores in New England, has announced a pilot installation of self-checkout lanes in one of its Phillipsburg, N.J., locations. The self-checkout terminals, which the store has dubbed the "Quick Chek Fast Lanes," are manufactured by NCR Corp. and began operating in the store Aug. 26.

Maria Fidelibus, vice president of technology for Quick Check, says the brand wanted to expand on its reputation for customer service:

Along with being held in high regard for our wide array of fresh food products and famed fresh coffee program, Quick Chek customers also know us for the high level of personalized service we offer. Our new "Quick Chek Fast Lane" pilot program is intended as an extension of that solid customer service offering, and we are thrilled to partner with NCR in this industry-pioneering initiative.

Quick Chek is a family-operated brand and has 120 locations in New Jersey and southern New York.
