Bashas’ Installs DVD Rental Kiosks at 100-plus Stores

Bashas’ recently installed NCR’s Blockbuster Express DVD-rental kiosks at more than 100 of its Bashas’ and Food City supermarkets in Arizona.

“Our customers can now get great deals on everyday grocery items and new-release movie rentals at our stores,” said Bashas’ director of communications Kristy Nied. “Just in time for Valentine’s Day, the Blockbuster Express kiosk allows us to combine an inexpensive at-home meal with an affordable, convenient entertainment option.”

The kiosks will offer a variety of romantic comedies this Valentine’s Day, including Jennifer Aniston in “Love Happens”; “The Ugly Truth,” with Katherine Heigl; and the Matthew McConaughey-Jennifer Garner comedy “Ghosts of Girlfriends Past.” The full list of titles available through the kiosks can be viewed at www.blockbusterexpress.com.

Each kiosk holds more than 900 DVDs, including popular movie titles and new releases. No membership is required — customers simply swipe their credit card and are charged $1 per night for a rental. A DVD can then be returned to any Blockbuster Express kiosk.

Chandler, Ariz.-based Bashas’ operates more than 130 grocery stores.
