QuikTrip Celebrates Successful Launch of Walk Out Technology Store

The definition of convenience has reached a whole new level in it’s 5th month of a new concept for Tulsa’s favorite convenience store.

• Gone Cashless and Gasless: If you haven’t been to the QT location inside downtown Tulsa’s BOK Tower, it’s worth the trip. It’s the store that opened in August and allows you to ‘grab-and-go’ your favorite taquito, fountain drink, or fresh glazed donut with no checkout process. Simply walk in, activate the open gate with a swipe of a credit or debit card, get your items and leave!

• Like Taking Candy From a Baby: It’s called ‘Just Walk Out Technology’ powered by Amazon and it almost feels wrong. We tried it last week and the accuracy is on point. Even more reason to love QuikTrip!
