NCR is continuing to add Blockbuster Express locations, this time announcing 800 of the video-rental kiosks will come to Food Lion grocery stores.

The Duluth-based technology company has also put kiosks at more than 300 RaceTrac gas stations and other locations.

The kiosks will also be available at Bottom Dollar Food, Harveys and Reid's grocery stores in 11 Southeast and Mid-Atlantic states.

At the new locations, the $1-a-night fee will be waived for the first night through June 17 with the promo code FOODLION, NCR said. New releases cost $2.99 for the first night and $1 for each additional night.

The kiosks contain 250 titles.

“Our core mission is like that of the traditional neighborhood video store -- to provide a wide selection of new releases, classic movies and overall entertainment to consumers,” NCR Entertainment vice president and general manager Justin Hotard said in a statement.
