Auchan Magyarország is set to open an autonomous store in the Hungarian capital at the end of February.
The unmanned, 18-square-metre Auchan Go shop, operating 24/7, will be located in the southern part of Budapest, the retailer has announced. Customers will complete their purchases with the assistance of a mobile application, an AI-powered camera system, and shelves equipped with weight sensors.
According to Telex, the new autonomous store will not sell alcoholic beverages or other items restricted to customers aged 18 and over. However, a range of Auchan products will be available for purchase. The store will be situated in Budapest’s 11th district, at the corner of Bártfai and Vahot streets. Scheduled to open in February, it will function with the operational support of the Albertfalva Auchan store.
