Sausalito Calif.-based Public Media Works Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, EntertainmentXpress Inc., announced a placement agreement with Steve Speckman, the owner of a ConocoPhillips 76 filling station in Los Angeles that was recently converted by Modular Conversions to include a convenience store. Modular Conversions (MC), a construction management services firm working with major oil companies, is a specialist in a modular approach to bay conversions for high-traffic filling stations.
PMW recently announced an agreement with Modular Conversions to place up to 7,000 DVD movie and video game kiosks in new convenience stores as major oil company-sponsored gas station conversions are completed over the next three years across the U.S. The initial phase includes full funding for the installation of up to 1,500 EntertainmentXpress kiosks to be placed in prime West Coast targeted locations. Modular Conversions has also obtained financing for EntertainmentXpress kiosks to be placed in existing convenience stores nationwide.
The ConocoPhillips 76 location in Los Angeles marks the first of an ongoing planned rollout of kiosks through the partnership of PMW and MC.
"We are in conversation with several major oil brands about converting high-traffic gas stations to c-stores where EntertainmentXpress kiosks are part of the program. We have also made arrangements for full financing for kiosks to be placed in existing convenience store locations for gas stations and other non-oil company convenience stores," said Jack Neal, COO of Modular Conversions.
