EG America Adds Mobile Device Trade-In Kiosks to C-stores
WESTBOROUGH, Mass. — EG America is adding a new type of convenience offering to its network.
The retailer is partnering with ecoATM to bring mobile device trade-in kiosks to its stores, giving guests an easy way to safely and securely recycle their used smart devices for instant cash.
ecoATM, a global leader in mobile device re-commerce, has already installed kiosks in select EG America locations across the country. The kiosks examine, grade and price each device; if guests accept the price, the kiosks immediately dispense payment, and the device is then refurbished or recycled.

"This partnership allows our guests to easily and sustainably turn in their old and used devices and be compensated instantly," said Nick Unkovic, chief transformation and strategy officer at EG America. "We're committed to finding new and innovative ways to differentiate our stores while also providing value and convenience to our guests, and ecoATM's trade-in kiosks do just that."
The initial kiosk rollout began earlier in 2025 at four EG America banners across four states. The company plans to install more than 500 kiosks.
"We're excited to partner with EG America and see our kiosks in convenience stores for the first time," said Neil Fried, senior vice president, corporate development, ecoATM Gazelle. "With more than 50 million devices collected so far — reducing greenhouse gas emissions similar to removing over 3.3K cars from the road per year — we are expanding rapidly and thrilled to drive our mission of building a sustainable future by eliminating e-waste one device at a time."
Westborough-based EG America has more than 1,500 retail locations and 18,000 team members across the United States. It is owned by EG Group, a U.K.-based fuel station and convenience store retailer with more than 50,000 team members across the United Kingdom, Ireland, Europe, Australia and the U.S.
EG America is also a three-category winner in Convenience Store News' inaugural Category Excellence Awards program along with its supplier partners.
