Calgary Co-op Customers Now Have Self-Checkout Option From StoreNext

DALLAS, July 8, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- Calgary Co-operative Association
Limited (Calgary Co-op) has completed a chain-wide rollout of self-checkout that
has enhanced customer service and shopper satisfaction. The new technology from
StoreNext Retail Technologies LLC, a subsidiary of Retalix Ltd. (Nasdaq:RTLX),
provides additional checkout options for customers at Calgary Co-op's retail
food centers throughout Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

The project, completed in early April by StoreNext dealer AM/PM Service,
integrates Fujitsu U-Scan self-checkout systems with StoreNext's ISS45
point-of-sale systems. With unemployment in the Calgary metropolitan area
averaging just 3.2 percent over the past 10 years, the shortage of retail
service personnel contributed to the project's importance.

"Our stores are seeing an increasing number of customers using the self-checkout
lanes," said Donna Burn, vice president of member and public relations for
Calgary Co-op. "This has taken pressure off of our staffed checkout lanes during
a time when Calgary is experiencing continuing labor shortages."

Research from Statistics Canada indicates that the retail sector will need to
add 25,000 jobs over the next 10 years, an increase of 35 percent from 2007
figures.

The successful pilot installation in April 2007 led to an all-enterprise
retrofit schedule, installing U-Scan in additional retail centers at
approximately one-week intervals. In each store, Calgary Co-op replaced one or
two of its up-to-21 standard checkout lanes with four U-Scan self-checkout
units. After a pause for the holiday shopping season the rollout continued in
January 2008 to the remaining retail centers, until 88 self-checkout units
overall were operating in the Co-op's 22 food centers.

"By upgrading their technology chain-wide, Calgary Co-op has ensured a smooth
checkout environment for its customers and staff alike," said Ray Carlin,
president and CEO of StoreNext. "We're pleased to see such positive results
right from the beginning, with thousands of shoppers opting for self-checkout."

All of Calgary Co-op stores also use StoreNext's ISS45 point-of-sale (POS)
software system. StoreNext's ISS45 transaction processing architecture is
designed for the extreme performance requirements of today's challenging
supermarket business, in addition to many important time-saving and
shopper-service features.

U-Scan is Fujitsu's family of self-checkout systems, featuring a space-saving
footprint and an intuitive shopper interface that speeds customers through the
self-checkout process.

AM/PM Service has provided POS systems, software and support to Calgary Co-op
for more than 12 years and is one of Canada's largest point-of-sale and service
companies.
