SMUG!
Posted by: Steve Hawthorne
An article in last week's Milwaukee Journal Sentinel featured a story about the SMUG - a travel mug with an embedded RFID chip that would allow users to essentially carry their gift card in their mug!
The SMUG was conceived of by Marquette University student, Chris Hallberg. Chris and his group, under the advisement of our owner, Eric Resch, won the undergraduate award for Best Business Plan.
Chris and our R&D department (and by R&D I mean a bunch of caffeinated coffee lovers!) will be continuing to test this product over the coming months. We'll keep you posted on details of when this may make an appearance in our stores.
Congratulations to Chris on a great idea!
