Kroger has commenced a test of KroGo supermarket carts in a Monroe, OH. store. KroGo carts were developed and manufactured by Caper Inc. located in New York, NY.  Carts have built-in scales and cameras to allow scanning while shopping. Shoppers activate the cart by swiping a card, shop and then check out electronically. The system allows the use of the customer’s reusable bags.

Kroger is following the lead of Walmart and Amazon in enhancing technology to provide additional convenience for customers.
