ARLINGTON, Va., April 25,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Marymount
University and Placemakr, a flexible-use hospitality
and multifamily operator, announce the grand opening of the Saints
24 convenience store at the Marymount Ballston Center campus. This
store marks the first use of Amazon's Just Walk Out technology at a
Placemakr property and the second installation at Marymount University. Introducing this innovative
solution showcases Marymount's
continued collaboration with best-in-class partners to provide
exemplary service to students and guests and Placemarkr's
commitment to innovative tech solutions that enhance the guest
experience.
"We are proud to lead once again the charge of incorporating
Amazon's Just Walk Out technology at Marymount
University. In support of our extended stay hotel, Placemakr
Marymount Ballston, and collaboration with our partners, our
Ballston Center campus will utilize this technology to improve
selection and enhance the experience of our students and guests,"
said Dr. Irma Becerra, President of
Marymount University. "Marymount is fully embracing a tech-forward future
and striving to bring partnerships to the University to fulfill
this vision."
In the lobby of Placemakr at Marymount's Ballston Center campus, Saints 24
offers a seamless and effortless shopping experience for guests and
students. The store features Amazon's Just Walk Out technology,
which allows guests to enter the store using their credit card or
mobile wallet. Once inside, the technology tracks their selections,
creating a virtual shopping session. Guests can shop for healthy
food and convenience items, including snacks, beverages, beer and
wine, travel products, and Marymount
University gear. Upon completion of their shopping, guests
can exit without waiting in line, as their chosen payment method
will be charged for the items they have taken.
"As a next step in Placemakr's commitment to tech-ease
solutions, we knew introducing Amazon's Just Walk Out technology
would unlock new comforts for our guests, providing them with
everything they'd need during their stay," said Jason Fudin, CEO and Co-Founder at Placemakr.
"As this is a first for our properties, we look forward to
expanding our capabilities to additional locations and continuing
our technological growth in the hospitality space."
