Coinstar Signs Agreement With real hypermarkets To Rollout Coin-Counting Kiosks Across Germany

"Initial adoption of Coinstar's service in Germany with real has been very strong and we're optimistic that it will be one of our most productive markets," said Jim Gaherity, CEO of Coinstar, LLC. "We continue to look for viable markets where people accumulate coin and need an easy way to convert it."

Coinstar® kiosks are currently rolling out at real stores across the country and all 270 locations are expected to be installed by mid-year. The kiosks offer coin-to-cash functionality and accept Euro coins of all denominations.  

"We're very pleased to bring this convenient self-service coin counting service from Coinstar to our hypermarkets across Germany," said Christian Gruentjens, head of lease management for real. "We continually look for ways to create added value for our customers and believe this service will help real shoppers tap into increased spending power, while eliminating cumbersome coin that may simply sit idle."
