As part of a shared community commitment, Badger Technologies,
Jabil, and Stop & Shop are sponsoring a “Selfies with Marty”
program at this year’s NRF‘24 show, held at the Jacob K. Javits
Convention Center in New York City, Jan. 14-16. Everyone in
attendance is invited to visit Badger Technologies/Jabil (Booth
4375) and take a selfie with Marty. Badger Technologies will donate
10 meals for every selfie taken and posted to Instagram, Facebook,
or LinkedIn with #MartyTheRobot during the conference in support of
47 New York City partner schools in the Stop & Shop School Food
Pantry Program.
“Nourishing people through food is an integral part of our DNA
that drives our dedication to addressing hunger in the communities
we serve,” said Karen Mitchell, CMO and SVP of Marketing at Stop
& Shop. “We are grateful to work with Badger Technologies and
Jabil to support our School Food Pantry Program throughout New York
City. By taking and posting selfies with Marty, NRF’24 attendees,
exhibitors, and retail industry visionaries can join us in helping
local schools fight hunger among students in need.”
Launched in 2019, the Stop & Shop School Food Pantry Program
works directly with school partners to support more than 40,000
students and families facing food insecurity issues. According to
the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), more than 13 million
children faced hunger in 2022, which translates to one in every
five children living in a food-insecure household. To help students
perform their best, Stop & Shop identifies schools in need
within its communities and provides gift cards plus food and
personal care items to stock the shelves of hundreds of school food
pantries. Generous donations from vendor partners, including
Campbell Snacks, Coca-Cola, General Mills, Unilever, and Procter
& Gamble, help make the Stop & Shop School Food Pantry
program possible.
“As champions of local communities throughout Massachusetts,
Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, and New Jersey, Stop &
Shop is continuing to lower the barriers that limit students’
ability to succeed in the classroom,” said William “BJ” Santiago,
CEO of Badger Technologies. “We are proud to join our colleagues at
Jabil in supporting this important cause and invite everyone at
NRF’24 to stop by our booth for a selfie with Marty. Together, we
can make a difference in helping provide students with much-needed
meals.”
A valued member of the Stop & Shop team since 2019, Marty
plays an important role in many of the organization’s community
outreach efforts, including making a debut appearance at Fenway
Park in September 2023 as part of a special event with the Boston
Red Sox to raise awareness for Hunger Action Month. Marty also
visits local schools and robotics clubs, attends events to honor
military members, and supports Stop & Shop’s efforts to end
pediatric and breast cancer.
Marty robots also keep busy at nearly 400 Stop & Shop stores
supporting an expanding list of in-store duties. These include
scanning shelves to expedite product re-stocking, confirming
pricing information, as well as monitoring floor conditions for
spills and other hazards. In carrying out daily tasks, Marty robots
have traveled more than 1.9 million miles and identified over 9.6
million potential floor hazards. Additionally, the robots scan more
than 7 million products daily to improve on-shelf product
availability. As a result, Marty enables Stop & Shop store
associates to spend more time with customers while improving store
safety, operational efficiencies, and customer shopping
experiences.
