The Sioux Falls Walmart at 5521 E. Arrowhead Parkway is the latest to install the company’s new Scan & Go technology.

It allows customers to scan items as they shop and then skip the checkout line by using a mobile express lane.

“We know speed and convenience are important to our customers, whether they’re shopping in our stores or online – so we’re always looking for new ways to save them time,” said Greg Broekmeier, Walmart store manager.

Here’s how to use it:

• Download the Scan & Go app onto a mobile phone and open the app inside Walmart or use the devices available in store.
• Scan the barcode of each item you wish to purchase and then place the item into the shopping cart. No barcode? Quickly look up the item with “Find an Item.”
• As you shop, you will see the running total of the items in your cart.
• Easily checkout and pay in the app.
• Show the receipt from your phone to an associate on the way out.

In October 2017, Walmart shared that it would be investing $11 billion in 2017 and 2018 in the U.S. in store growth, store remodels and other innovations, such as pickup towers, online grocery pickup and Scan & Go.
