Morgan's Retail is set to launch the world's first fully automated, AI-powered retail concept store in Brooklyn, New York, in the fourth quarter of the year, an absolute game-changer that promises to transform the way we shop forever.


    Gone are the days of long checkout lines and frustrating stock shortages. Morgan’s Retail is ushering in a new era of shopping with its cutting-edge store that uses artificial intelligence to personalise every customer’s journey in real time. From instantly recommending products tailored to your preferences to guiding you through the aisles with AR way-finding, shopping becomes effortless and enjoyable.

    With easy, smart operations and management solutions, AI takes care of everything, from monitoring inventory and adjusting prices to overseeing security and even cleaning shelves. The store’s innovative smart floor sensors track each step shoppers take, converting their kinetic energy into electricity that powers the entire store sustainably. This clever energy-harvesting technology helps Morgan’s Retail achieve a Net Zero Energy footprint. Combined with a zero-inventory model that slashes waste and storage needs, this approach dramatically cuts carbon emissions and sets a new benchmark for eco-friendly retail.

    Morgan’s Retail harnesses cutting-edge technology that thinks and acts, combining generative AI, machine learning, and the Internet of Things (IoT) to deliver a seamless, efficient shopping experience. Unlike traditional stores with physical shelves, Morgan’s Retail introduces its patented Customer Visualisation Unit (CVU), a revolutionary interface that allows customers to browse and interact with a vast virtual product catalogue. Customers can instantly access detailed product information from ingredients and nutrition to storage tips, empowering them to make informed choices based on their preferences, lifestyle, and needs.

    Thanks to these intelligent solutions, the store operates with significantly fewer staff, as customers receive all the guidance they need to select the right products independently. Security is also enhanced through AI-powered video analytics, ensuring a safe environment. Meanwhile, smart store layouts dynamically adapt by analysing customer movements and responses to promotions, optimising product placement within the virtual environment for maximum convenience and satisfaction. This innovative blend of technologies creates a highly personalised, efficient, and secure shopping experience without the need for physical products on shelves.

    Rajeev Lee, Group CEO of Morgan’s Holdings, shares a bold vision for the future, describing this innovation as “not just solving traditional retail challenges but fundamentally reinventing retail itself.” He highlighted how Morgan’s Retail is positioning itself as a global leader in tech-driven, sustainable retail solutions by embracing data, automation, and environmental responsibility.

Why it matters to you is simple, imagine never having to queue again, effortlessly finding exactly what you need, and enjoying the confidence that your choices are tailored to your preferences, all within a store that runs itself efficiently and sustainably.

AEON and AEON Credit enter joint venture to develop a future-ready membership and data ecosystem

AEON AND AEON Credit enter joint venture to develop a future-ready membership and data ecosystem

 

  1. The JV aims to be AEON Group’s unified membership program, supporting cross-platform marketing efforts while providing customers with a holistic retail and financial experience
  2. The venture also serves as the Group’s gateway for  merchants and partners seeking to engage with AEON Group’s large and diverse customer base 

 

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Two of Malaysia’s leading public-listed companies under the AEON Group - AEON CO. (M) BHD. (“AEON”) and AEON Credit Service (M) Berhad (“AEON Credit”) - have formalized a strategic joint venture (“JV”) to establish a new entity that will drive the integration of customer membership, data intelligence and digital engagement across the AEON ecosystem in Malaysia.

This initiative is anchored in AEON Group’s vision that “customers are our starting point” and embraces our mission “to create a future lifestyle that leads to a smile for each and every person.” Customers can look forward to seamless access to benefits across AEON’s retail stores, e-commerce, financial services and digital banking, as well as the access  to use and redeem rewards in more ways than ever before, and timely offers that fit their needs - making every interaction simpler and more rewarding.

With the required regulatory approvals, the JV will be jointly owned by AEON Credit (51%) and AEON (49%), with an initial paid-up capital of RM50 million. The JV is set to become a centralised orchestration layer that brings together customer engagement, digital media, data analytics and marketing solutions across retail, finance, digital and lifestyle touchpoints within the AEON ecosystem.

“This JV unlocks the true ecosystem synergy - bringing together retail, financial services and digital capabilities to create seamless added value for our customers,” said Mr. Daisuke Maeda, Managing Director of AEON Credit.

Mr Maeda added, “With AEON Bank joining the synergy as the JV’s official bank, it strengthens our shared commitment to digital innovation and data-driven growth. AEON Bank will also support AEON partners through business banking solutions, complementing the JV’s role in driving platform partnerships that benefit all AEON Group’s customers.”

Beyond customer benefits, the new entity will also act as a commercial data and marketing exchange hub, enabling AEON Group companies and partners to engage with AEON’s large customer base with greater relevance and impact.

“By aligning our retail scale with AEON Credit’s digital and financial infrastructure, we are co-creating an intelligent membership ecosystem designed to grow with our customers,” said Mr. Naoya Okada, Managing Director of AEON. “This JV is a cornerstone of our long-term digital transformation and group synergy strategy.”

As part of its development, the JV will unify data and membership management across AEON’s entities - namely AEON, AEON BiG Sdn. Bhd., AEON Credit, and AEON Bank Berhad, establishing a foundation for deeper ecosystem integration and shared value creation.

The JV is expected to commence operations by the fourth quarter of 2025, subject to regulatory and operational readiness, marking a significant joint investment in future-proofing the AEON brand for a digital-first consumer era.
