Huck's Market, a c-store chain with 135 locations across the Midwest, has begun deploying Tote's AI-native POS platform with an initial launch in Carmi, Ill.
The chain-wide rollout is projected to be completed by the end of the year, according to a press release. The Tote platform is built specifically for the fuel and convenience retail industry.
"We've always been willing to invest in technology that can truly make a difference for our customers and our team," Murat Tokad, president and CEO of Martin & Bayley, Inc., parent company of Huck's Market, said in the release. "Working with Tote from the earliest stages allowed us to influence how this platform works in real-world convenience store operations. We're proud to be the first to bring this technology to our customers and demonstrate what's possible when retailers embrace innovation."
Early feedback from Huck's in-store team highlights faster transactions, easier product lookup and a visually clean, intuitive interface. Managers also pointed to clearer transaction guidance, including improved visibility into EBT-eligible items, as a meaningful day-to-day improvement that reduces confusion for both staff and customers. Built-in on-screen assistance further supports teams by providing quick access to POS help and training guidance directly at the register.
The initial deployment includes self-checkout, with additional point-of-sale and fuel capabilities rolling out in subsequent phases as Huck's Market prepares to expand the platform across its full store network.
