Built for student schedules

Open when students are

Late nights, early classes

24/7 access, whether it's a midnight study break or a quick bite before an 8 a.m. class.

Meals, not just chips

Frozen meals and ice cream from a smart freezer, alongside refrigerated drinks and snacks.

Nothing age-restricted

We don't stock age-restricted products, which keeps things simple for student communities.

Quick, contactless checkout

Secure, contactless checkout. Card, tap, Apple Pay and Google Wallet.

Near campus, across the Phoenix area

A late-night option without leaving the property

Students keep unusual hours, and a late-night snack run often means a walk or a drive off the property. A Smart Store in a common area, with a smart cooler and freezer, gives residents a quick option close to home, any time of day.

Our service area covers student housing across the Phoenix metropolitan area. For off-campus student housing in Tempe, see our Tempe student housing page.

Smart Freezers

Frozen meals and ice cream, fully managed by our team.

Flexible Smart Store setups tailored to each property.

Side by side, smart coolers and a MicroMart smart freezer make one Smart Store: refrigerated drinks and snacks next to frozen meals and ice cream, with the same contactless checkout and 24/7 access. Frozen meals work best where residents can heat them, so we look at microwave access during the free assessment.

FAQ

Quick answers

Is it really open 24/7?

Yes. Residents have 24/7 access.

What is a Smart Store?

A Smart Store is our fully managed, 24/7 self-checkout setup of MicroMart AI smart coolers, plus a MicroMart smart freezer when you want frozen meals and ice cream. We install, stock, service and maintain it at no cost to qualifying properties.

Can we add a MicroMart smart freezer?

Yes. A MicroMart smart freezer sits next to the smart coolers and adds frozen meals and ice cream for residents, with the same contactless checkout and 24/7 access. Together they make one Smart Store. We recommend the right setup for your property during the free assessment.

Is a self-checkout Smart Store secure?

Yes. The cooler door unlocks only after a shopper taps or inserts a payment card or phone, and AI cameras inside the cooler recognize the products taken. Closing the door ends the visit, and the card is charged only for what was taken.

How many smart coolers does our property need?

It depends on how many residents use the space, your layout and the products you want. A Smart Store can be a single smart cooler or several side by side, with or without a MicroMart smart freezer. We size it for our property during the free assessment.

What does it cost the property?

Nothing for qualifying properties. Equipment is installed, stocked, serviced and maintained at no cost to qualifying properties.

What do you stock?

Refrigerated drinks and snacks, plus frozen meals and ice cream when a smart freezer is part of your Smart Store. Nothing age-restricted.

Which areas do you serve?

Student housing across the Phoenix metropolitan area, including Phoenix, Tempe, Scottsdale, Chandler, Gilbert and Mesa. Request a free assessment and we'll confirm the details for your property.

What does our property team have to do?

Very little. Installation, stocking and ongoing service are fully managed by our team.

How do you decide when to restock?

Our inventory monitoring shows product levels and purchasing trends, so we schedule restocking based on actual demand.
