Decathlon opens 1st US location

Decathlon, a sporting goods retailer with over 1,500 stores in 49 countries, has launched its first US location in Emeryville, California. The newly opened store features Self-Service Networks' "GiftWise Cash-2-Card" gift card-dispensing self-service kiosk.

Ashley Benson, Product Manager at Decathlon USA, said, "Self-Service Networks has been an integral partner for us since the opening of our first Decathlon Superstore in the United States."

"With their help and collaboration, we've been able to offer a seamless cashless checkout process that allows customers to complete quick transactions. Customers who prefer to use cash at checkout have the ability to access Decathlon Gift Cards through the GiftWise Cash-2-Card solution. They can then complete their transaction using our cashless point-of-sale system," he added.

Thomas Smith, President of Self-Service Networks, Decathlon, stated, "Our GiftWise Cash-2-Card is our latest iteration of card dispensing innovations that help empower customers preferring to use cash payments to participate in everyday retail."
