D’Agostino to Install Multi-Function Coupon-Printing Kiosks Chainwide

Nov 2, 2009

D’Agostino Supermarkets plans to install new coupon-printing kiosks at its 18 supermarkets in New York City and its suburbs.

The grocer is working with Pantel Systems, Inc. (PSI), which provides interactive customer communications systems and applications that support the targeted marketing programs at point-of-purchase service and information.

“Our existing locations are experiencing excellent participation by consumers eager to save money on nationally recognized items,” said David Foni, CEO of Colorado Springs, Colo.-based PSI. “In addition, the supermarkets are appreciative of the print-on-demand style of coupon and expedited payment reimbursement.”

D’Agostino, a family-owned grocer based in Larchmont, N.Y., expects to complete the installations by January 2010.
