Blockbuster Express Brings the Kiosks Home To Texas!

NCR has an agreement in place with Brookshire Grocery Stores to install its Blockbuster Express DVD rental kiosks in its more than 150 stores across Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Mississippi within the first quarter of 2010.

Last year, NCR acquired The New Release (TNR), the number 2 player in the DVD rental kiosk business, based in Houston, TX. TNR’s primary market was in the grocery market. This continues with those roots as well as being in a Texas grocery chain.

Don Gaynier, Brookshire Grocery Company said, “We considered many of the leading DVD kiosk providers, and we were most impressed with NCR’s rapid growth in the space.”

NCR began deploying Blockbuster Express kiosks in Brookshire Grocery in 2009, with about 100 kiosks installed at the chain at the end of the year.

According to Gaynier, “For more than 80 years, Brookshire Grocery has strived to give our customers a great shopping experience. Through our new relationship with NCR, we are able to give our customers the convenience and savings associated with Blockbuster Express DVD rentals.”

NCR Launches Outdoor DVD Rental Kiosk

Steve — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 14:37:26 +0000

The Blockbuster Express rental locations near to me are both at Sonic Drive-Ins. A particular thing to note about a drive-in location is the fact that the kiosk must be outdoor. So after some testing at these locations, NCR has officially launched the NCR SelfServ Entertainment 2381.

Able to hold as many as 950 DVDs, this weather-protected outdoor kiosk is the most secure and highest-capacity outdoor DVD-rental kiosk in the industry. This will now allow NCR to launch Blockbuster Express kiosks through many more 24-hour smaller footprint locations.

One of the key things that Redbox has been able to do to get a great foothold in the industry is to place the kiosks at key locations outdoors. Now they have 24 hour access and are even more convenient. Its one thing to go to a kiosk where you had to park a 3-4 minute walk away from the doors to get inside your favorite grocery or Wal-Mart, but if you can drive right up in the parking lot right by the kiosk and get out and grab and go, that makes usability much higher.

The kiosk is very similar in design to the kiosks seen in the indoor placements. With a 19″ touch screen display and an optional 26″ LCD signage display on top. Holding nearly 50% more DVD’s than Redbox the kiosks will provide a greater selection for customers renting from a DVD kiosk.
