retailers IGA

The Independent Grocers Alliance (IGA) has partnered with Bitcoin Depot to add its kiosks throughout its independent grocery stores across the country.

With this partnership, IGA stores across the U.S. will offer in-store access through the Bitcoin Depot kiosks, where permitted, extending Bitcoin Depot’s national footprint and allowing more consumers the opportunity to buy Bitcoin in a familiar retail setting.

“This partnership with IGA helps us increase our reach to provide easy and secure access to Bitcoin for consumers across diverse communities,” said Scott Buchanan, president and COO of Bitcoin Depot.

“By leveraging IGA’s robust network of independent retailers, we are extending the reach of our kiosks while also opening the door to future international expansion.”

With IGA’s presence in more than 25 countries, this engagement positions Bitcoin Depot to evaluate expansion into new international markets as demand for access continues to rise.

“Partnering with Bitcoin Depot, a trusted leader in the crypto ATM space, allows us to offer our retailers a proven, secure way to meet growing consumer demand for digital assets,” said IGA VP of Brand Development Michael La Kier.

“This relationship will further help independent grocers stay competitive by bringing in new foot traffic and offering a service that’s increasingly relevant to the communities they serve.”
