(AP) - Best Buy plans to add a dozen vending kiosks
inside terminals at major airports across the country.

      The Twin Cities-area-based company's move is part of a new pilot
program Best Buy calls "Best Buy Express."

      The nation's largest consumer electronics retailer is partnering
with a San Francisco-based vending machine company called
ZoomSystems for the project that will install the small automated
stores at eight airports.

      The machines will stock cell phone and computer accessories,
along with digital cameras, portable data storage devices,
headphones, travel adapters, electronic chargers and other gadgets.

      The self-serve kiosks will be installed by Sept. 1 in
airports in Atlanta, Boston, Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, Las Vegas,
Los Angeles, Minneapolis and San Francisco.
