A Northeast Philadelphia ShopRite is rolling out a revolutionary way to shop, with smart technology.

The grocery store located at 9910 Frankford Avenue recently introduced A.I.-powered Caper Carts, which allows you to scan items as you put them into the cart.

The smart cart can also give you shopping recommendations and allow you to check out directly from the cart. According to Caper, if you choose to use the self-checkout lane, you can scan a barcode on the shopping cart, which will make your shopping experience go quicker.

The move is part of the grocery chains’ larger plan to introduce the “smart cart” technology throughout its stores nationwide.

The first of the “smart carts” were rolled out at its’ Spotswood, NJ location in 2022.
