Zippin, the leading provider of checkout-free technology, continues to make waves in the sports and entertainment industry with its expanding presence at premier venues across the United States. The company's recent growth in stadiums like Petco Park, NRG Stadium, and Energizer Park highlights the increasing trust and confidence existing customers place in Zippin's solution.

**New Zippin Walk-Up at Petco Park**
## **Petco Park: Doubling Down on Success**
After a successful initial implementation, Petco Park has tripled its commitment to Zippin's technology. The venue, which started with one Zippin-powered store two years ago, just added two more for the upcoming season. This expansion comes on the heels of impressive results:
- 41% revenue growth during the 2024 season compared to 2023
- An average shopping time of just 31 seconds
- 37% increase in the number of shoppers year-over-year
These figures underscore the effectiveness of Zippin's technology in enhancing the fan experience while boosting venue revenues.

## **Energizer Park: Pioneering in MLS**
Energizer Park, home to St. Louis City SC, was the first Major League Soccer team to launch checkout-free stores. With three existing Zippin stores, they are now adding a Zippin Walk-Up, further enhancing their frictionless shopping offerings.
Matt Sebek, CEO of St. Louis City SC, shared his enthusiasm on LinkedIn: "It was incredible to see this vision come to life...and our fans absolutely loved it. [These stores flip the model on throughput without sacrificing hot & delicious local food. They are magical."](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/mattsebek_citypark-launches-first-checkout-free-stores-activity-7006319626011721728-zoo3?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAAEExy8Bd3iyu0NbozCQcgBK-aRbEVObj8I)

**Zippin Walk-Up at NRG Stadium**
## **NRG Stadium: Scaling Success with Zippin**
NRG Stadium has embraced Zippin's technology wholeheartedly, with five stores between their stadium and convention center. Plans are underway to deploy four more Zippin-powered stores, bringing the total to nine. This expansion demonstrates NRG's confidence in the technology's performance and ROI.
Chris Devore, District Manager at NRG Park, praised the implementation, stating, "[Our Walk-Up stores have allowed fans to get their hands on hot food quicker than ever before](https://www.getzippin.com/zippin-nrg-walk-up)". This endorsement highlights the speed and efficiency that Zippin brings to concessions.
## **Zippin's Technological Edge**
Krishna Motukuri, CEO of Zippin, emphasizes the company's commitment to precision and reliability, dispelling concerns about potential system exploitation with checkout-free technology. "At Zippin, we've built our technology from the ground up with a focus on accuracy and high-performance for our clients. Whether it’s a camera-only Zippin Walk-Up or a full store retrofit with cameras and shelf sensors, our platform delivers the highest available accuracy, even in the most challenging environments, like packed stadiums where thousands of fans are dressed alike."
Motukuri adds, "We understand trust is everything in this space. That’s why we've invested heavily in creating a system that not only enhances the fan experience but also provides operators with reliable data they can count on. The fact our partners continue expanding with us is proof of the confidence they have in Zippin’s reliability and results.” With every transaction, Zippin’s algorithms and models become smarter and more accurate, ensuring continuous improvement in performance and customer experience.
The continued expansion of Zippin across these high-profile sports venues demonstrates the industry’s confidence in their checkout-free platform. As more stadiums and arenas adopt checkout-free, fans can enjoy faster service and an overall better gameday experience, while venues gain the operational efficiencies and revenue growth only a truly reliable system can deliver.
