Star Concessions teams with Amazon on checkout-free store at DFW International Airport

Star Concessions has announced the opening of Grab & Fly, a checkout-free shopping experience at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW).

Powered by Amazon’s Just Walk Out technology, this lets people grab what they need and leave the store, without having to wait in checkout lines.

Cold drinks, snacks, travel accessories, electronics and souvenirs are among the products offered.

To enter Grab & Fly, travellers insert their credit card at the entry gate. Once inside, anything they take off the shelf is automatically added to their virtual cart, and anything they put back on the shelf comes out of said cart.

After they have left the store, their credit card will be charged for the items they took. Associates are available in store to assist customers, answer questions, and re-stock shelves as needed.

“We are very excited to bring this checkout-free store to DFW, one of the busiest airports in the world, so travellers can get what they need and skip the checkout line,” says Gilbert Aranza, President at Star Concessions.

“We selected Amazon’s Just Walk Out technology because of the fast and frictionless experience it enables, and we look forward to hearing how busy travellers like the experience.”

“Dallas Fort Worth International Airport is one of the busiest airports in the United States, so we’re thrilled to collaborate with Star Concessions to enable a fast and frictionless shopping experience for their guests in Terminal D,” says Dilip Kumar, Vice President, AWS Applications.

Grab & Fly is open at DFW Airport’s Terminal D South, with daily operating hours from 6am to last flight out (typically 10pm CDT).
