John Lert’s vision of the automated supermarket is a concept
that I think has the potential to reinvent the grocery store, reduce the cost
of operations, and double sales per square foot thanks to increased customer
appeal. In the first installment of this two-part interview, Lert describes the
store from the shopper’s point of view. Next week, in Part 2, he talks about how it works for retailers.
