Glownet Inc., which will continue to operate under that name, will become a fully owned subsidiary of Price Chopper. Glownet’s existing RFID technology platform and range of services, including cashless payments, access control, social media activations and self-service kiosks, will extend to Price Chopper’s client base. The platform also provides a sophisticated analytics engine, allowing greater data collection and consumer insights.

“The purchase of Glownet Inc. will further increase and differentiate Price Chopper’s market offering in the competitive wristband and identification market,” Shara Pathak, president of Price Chopper Inc., said in a press release. “The combination of Glownet Inc with our reputation for ID solutions and crowd management will strengthen our value proposition in our core markets globally.”
