Fiserv Forum, home of the NBA’s Milwaukee Bucks, debuted Amazon’s Just Walk Out shopping experience yesterday (Wednesday) during the game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The checkout-free store, which marked a first for Wisconsin, was located outside of Section 119 on the main concourse of Fiserv Forum. The store has been officially branded as The Market by Michelob Ultra and will enable fans to buy drinks and snacks without having to wait in line to checkout.
Amazon’s Just Walk Out technology detects what fans take from or return to the shelves. Amazon One, Amazon’s palm recognition service, is also featured in the store, enabling fans to enter using just their palm.
Just Walk Out technology is already used by the likes of Climate Pledge Arena, Crypto.com Arena and Lumen Field.
