Autonomous store maker VenHub will next month open a second and larger production and assembly facility in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The facility will expand VenHub’s manufacturing capacity and position the company to meet growing demand for its autonomous smart stores across the USA.

The production facility will operate in conjunction with VenHub’s headquarters and existing operations in Las Vegas, creating an expanded production hub that integrates engineering, manufacturing, testing and deployment preparation under one roof. The additional capacity will enable the company to accelerate smart store production and support broader national rollout efforts.

“The significant production capacity enabled by our second, larger facility in Las Vegas is a pivotal step forward for our ability to scale smart store deployments,” said Shahan Ohanessian, CEO of VenHub (www.VenHub.com). “Demand for our smart stores continues to grow as retail operators are seeking smarter ways to serve customers while also being able to manage their operations more efficiently. Expanding our production capabilities in Las Vegas with this larger, state-of-the-art facility allows us to move faster, deliver our smart stores more effectively and support our growing list of partners who are bringing VenHub smart stores into their communities.”

Ohanessian said retail was continuing to evolve quickly, as consumers expected convenience, speed and access at all hours, while operators searched for ways to address this demand while reducing overhead and simplifying their operations.

“VenHub smart stores are leading the evolution of autonomous retail to address both of these challenges,” he said. “By expanding our production capacity, we are building the infrastructure necessary to bring autonomous retail to more cities and neighbourhoods across the country.”

The facility supports the production, assembly and quality testing of smart stores prior to their deployment. Each store operates 24 hours a day without on-site staff and combines robotics, automation and mobile-first checkout technology to deliver a secure, unattended shopping experience.

The smart stores are already operating in high-traffic environments including Los Angeles Union Station and the LAX Metro transit centre, demonstrating the platform’s ability to serve everyday consumers and travellers in demanding locations. With Las Vegas serving as VenHub’s operational headquarters and manufacturing hub, the company is positioned to scale smart store deployments across North America while continuing to advance its autonomous retail platform.

Each store is designed to operate around the clock, offering instant access to a broad range of products while maintaining secure, managed operations. Transactions are completed with speed, precision and full contactless convenience. From snacks and travel essentials to late-night necessities, the store is ready every hour of the day.
