Initial Pilot Phase Planned Across More Than Five Locations Throughout the City of Los Angeles, With Scalable Expansion Opportunities Under Evaluation MIAMI, FL - May 27, 2026 (NEWMEDIAWIRE) - GrocerIQ Holdings, Inc. (OTC: GRIQ), a company focused on AI powered retail infrastructure and physical AI technologies, today announced that it will provide AI infrastructure and operational technology supporting the planned rollout of a neighborhood-focused grocery platform across the City of Los Angeles. The initial deployment phase is currently planned to include more than five neighborhood focused pilot store locations strategically positioned throughout Los Angeles communities, with site development activities and related implementation efforts underway. The rollout is intended to improve access to groceries, fresh foods, prepared meals, beverages, and household essentials through smaller format retail environments located closer to where residents live. The initiative is designed to support convenient neighborhood access to essential goods while aligning with broader trends toward localized commerce, community accessibility, and more efficient urban living environments. According to the company, the initiative represents GrocerIQ's first planned live deployment of its proprietary physical AI retail infrastructure platform within real-world neighborhood grocery environments. GrocerIQ intends to serve as the technology layer supporting the operational ecosystem of the planned grocery platform. The stores are expected to utilize GrocerIQ's developing AI powered operational systems designed to support: • Intelligent inventory forecasting and replenishment Unlike traditional large format grocery stores, the neighborhood market model is centered around smaller, community oriented retail environments positioned near residential corridors and densely populated urban neighborhoods. The concept is designed to support faster fulfillment, improved operational efficiency, and a more convenience driven consumer experience while increasing localized access to essential goods. "Los Angeles is one of the most important urban retail markets in the country and an ideal environment for next generation neighborhood commerce," said James Ponce, President of GrocerIQ Holdings. "Consumer behavior continues shifting toward convenience, accessibility, and proximity. We believe intelligent neighborhood retail environments can improve efficiency while helping create more accessible and connected communities, and this pilot represents an important step in validating our technology in a live operating environment." The company stated that the pilot deployment is expected to provide convenient grocery and household access to thousands of residents across participating Los Angeles communities, including areas where neighborhood retail accessibility may be limited. The initial rollout is intended to establish a scalable operating model for future expansion into additional Los Angeles communities and broader neighborhood retail markets, while simultaneously providing GrocerIQ with its first live operating environment for continued development and commercialization of its physical AI retail infrastructure platform as the company expands its technology ecosystem for neighborhood commerce environments.
