Cashierless convenience stores popping up across Canada

Canadian cashierless convenience store chain Aisle 24 plans to add hundreds of locations across the country in the next couple of years, with locations already up and running in Montreal.

Like many corner stores across the country, their locations have an abundance of foods and snacks.

But there’s one major difference: nobody works in them.

“You shop as you would normally, there’s just no staff and you let yourself check out automatically,” Aisle 24 owner and franchiser Jessika Venne told CTV National News.

Customers use the company’s app to register themselves and unlock the door, which can be accessed any time of the day, seven days a week, and they scan and pay for items by themselves.
