Walmart Testing All-Self-Checkout Supercenter In Texas
The DallasNews.com reports that Walmart is testing an all-self-checkout Supercenter in Plano at one of its biggest local stores and one where growing families can easily pile high a grocery cart.

Price Chopper/Market 32 Cuts Food Waste and Emissions with Tech Platform
SupermarketNews.com says that, with the help of the Invafresh fresh food retail platform, regional supermarket chain Price Chopper/Market 32 says it prevents 20 tons of fresh food from being wasted each week and is projected to prevent more than 3,000 tons of food waste over the next three years across its 131 stores in the northeastern United States.

The fresh item-management technology from Invafresh allows Price Chopper to meet the growing demand for fresh food while solving the top challenge that comes with fresh retail — food waste or shrink. By integrating vast amounts of in-store production data into algorithms that work to forecast intelligently and accurately, replenish orders, plan production, manage inventory and recipes, and ensure regulatory compliance, Invafresh helps Price Chopper to eliminate inventory shortfalls and assist with on-shelf availability (OSA), facilitating the right amount of the freshest products at the right time.
