Tesco to open three new checkout-free GetGo stores
Tesco will expand its checkout-free GetGo stores trial with three new shops that will adopt a hybrid model, giving customers the option to use an attended till as well in London and Birmingham.
The Big Four grocer said the expansion will allow more customers to shop and pay without scanning a product or using a checkout.
For the first time, these new stores will also offer customers the option of using a self-service or attended checkout if they prefer.
The expansion will also allow the company to test the new format in a variety of locations.
Tesco launched its first GetGo store in High Holborn in October 2021, where the average shopper takes three minutes to complete their shop using the app, and which will continue to offer a purely checkout-free model.
Shoppers choosing the checkout-free option need to download the Tesco app and select the GetGo option, and then can pick their shopping and walk out.
Customers who don’t have the Tesco app can use the new hybrid stores in the same way as usual, paying at the attended or self-service checkouts. They can then scan their receipt to exit the barriers.
Tesco Convenience managing director Kevin Tindall said: “Whether customers choose the checkout-free option or prefer to use a checkout, we want to make the shopping trip as quick and convenient as possible.”
