The store, situated near the Hollywood Bowl and Walk of Fame, aims to provide convenient, contactless retail access to a high-traffic area.

The company stated that the store was rapidly deployed and activated, demonstrating the scalability of its Smart Store platform. This Hollywood location is VenHub's latest addition to its expanding network in Los Angeles, following successful openings in North Hollywood, Glendale and the Metro Transit Center at LAX.

"Hollywood never slows down, and neither do the people it serves," Shahan Ohanessian, founder & CEO of VenHub, said in the release. "We built this store to serve them. Whether you're heading to a show, finishing a shift, or running late-night errands, VenHub is open 24/7, contactless, and always ready. It's retail that fits the pace of real life."

The Hollywood Smart Store operates without on-site staff, utilizing AI, robotics and mobile-first design for transactions and inventory management, offering a range of products from snacks to travel essentials. VenHub emphasizes its commitment to delivering scalable retail solutions to meet current market demands, with plans for further expansion in California and other states.
