Commuters in Chicago are now enjoying a quick way to shop for groceries, thanks to the QR code grocery stores located in two train stations. Instead of hurrying to the store after work or dealing with large crowds on weekends, they can look at photos of grocery items, scan the QR code to order what they need, and have it delivered the next day.
According to Mobile Marketer, “[Peapod’s QR code grocery stores are located in] Chicago’s State and Lake Station Tunnel. The tunnel walls are wrapped with larger-than-life ads of grocery store shelves stocked with popular products such as Coca-Cola, Barilla and items from Procter & Gamble.”
Bryan Laurienti, co-owner of BBB Systems, said he thinks Peapod’s QR-code grocery store is a great example of how mobile technology can add convenience into our busy lives. “Peapod’s virtual store program for commuter rail stations is a creative, convenient way for passengers to multi-task and knock out their grocery shopping on the go,” says Mobile Marketer. “It helps turn commuting time into productive time.”
