Journey of a lifetime: JUXTA announces Stateside launch of Nomad autonomous, portable micro store

JUXTA reports that its inaugural product, Nomad, an autonomous, portable micro store, is now available throughout the USA.

The startup says that Nomad will “help retailers take their brand beyond the traditional bricks and mortar convenience store, allowing them to get closer to consumers than ever before”.

In a LinkedIn post, Om Shankar, CEO at JUXTA, said: “31st August 2023, the biggest day of my professional career. Today we officially launch JUXTA, and I can’t wait to see how Nomad helps our customers as they look to craft their own retail growth stories with #targetedretailanywhere.”

He added: “The response has been overwhelming so far. We’ve spent the last few years innovating - truly innovating! - and it’s been the journey of a lifetime.”

“To my team, you lot are absolute rockstars. We got to this point in 18 months – from ideation to launch – that is absolutely unheard of. I’m forever grateful for your drive and relentless focus as we’ve sprinted our way to this point.”

“To Vontier and Gilbarco Veeder-Root, our parent companies - so thankful for the commitment to innovation and JUXTA's strategy as we’ve built this business together. Lots more noise to come from us soon – onwards!”
