From Self-Driving Retail Vehicles to High-Tech Cannabis Dispensers
Katherine Pendrill — August 28, 2021 — Business
From self-driving stores on wheels to high-tech cannabis dispensers, the august 2021 retail trends reveal that shopping can increasingly be done with zero in-person interaction.
In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, it's clear that there are many benefits to a self-serve retail model. As a result, there have been many innovations in retail concepts that cut back on, or completely eliminate the human element. For instance, an increasing number of products are now getting the vending machine makeover. For example, the Cultiva Wellness Wellness Pantry allows people to get cannabis without visiting an actual retail store.
Perhaps the most innovative example of self-serve retail highlighted by the August 2021 retail trends is the Robomart self-driving retail vehicle. This store on wheels can be summoned to a specific location and allows for a full shopping experience from the back of a vehicle.
