Redbox expands kiosk deal with Dollar General
April 19, 2023
Redbox, a Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment company, has signed an expanded partnership agreement with Dollar General Corporation to add 1,500 Redbox kiosks over the next two years. This will bring the number of Redbox kiosks at Dollar General to over 5,000 US locations by the end of 2024.
“Dollar General has been an incredibly important strategic partner for Redbox, as we both serve value-conscious customers,” said William J. Rouhana, Jr., chief executive officer of Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment. “As the economy continues to challenge and impact consumers, expanding Redbox’s kiosks nationwide with Dollar General will provide millions of Americans additional access to more affordable entertainment.”
The Redbox kiosk expansion comes when theatrical releases are rapidly increasing. In 2023, over 39 major films are slated to be released, including the latest installments from major franchises such as Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.3, Fast X, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part 1, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (pictured), Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, and more. These titles and many others will be available in Redbox kiosks shortly after their theatrical run.
