Outdoor retail sales kiosk designed for secure, mobile point-of-sale operations
This outdoor locking retail kiosk was custom-designed for the Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla gift shop to extend their storefront by offering mobile sales of gifts and cards for patients and visitors. Built from lightweight powder-coated aluminum, the kiosk combined durability, mobility, and weather resistance in a compact footprint.
The four-sided design featured interior slatwall displays accessible from all directions, maximizing product visibility. At closing time, four locking commercial roll-down doors secured the entire unit, while integrated LED lighting kept merchandise illuminated and visible during operating hours.

What this cart solves
This kiosk delivered a secure, space-efficient solution for mobile outdoor retail, especially in sensitive environments like healthcare campuses. Its four-sided merchandising approach allowed staff to serve customers from any direction, while its commercial roll-down shutters locked down the entire unit after hours. Durable, weather-resistant materials ensured the kiosk maintained its appearance and performance even with daily outdoor use.
