Wal-Mart Renews With Redbox

BENTONVILLE, Ark. — Wal-Mart Stores has committed to offering Redbox movie and game DVD kiosks at more than 3,700 locations nationwide until January 2015, extending its more than five-year relationship with Redbox Automated Retail, Oakbrook, Terrace, Ill., a wholly owned subsidiary of Coinstar.

More than two thirds of the U.S. population lives within a five-minute drive of a Redbox kiosk, with more than 28,000 locations nationwide, according to Redbox.

“A key component to our success is our extensive retail footprint as it provides consumers greater access to movies and games at a low price.” said Galen Smith, senior vice president of finance at Redbox, in a statement.
