The Matrix Series from The Peggs Company is an all-plastic collection offering unrivaled durability and unmatched branding opportunities, with customization options for basket patterns and colors.

The Matrix Series, which has patents pending, includes a standard shopping cart, a two-tier convenience cart, and a hand basket. In addition to stock plastic colors and a standard basket pattern, the Matrix Series offers a unique opportunity to customize shopping carts beyond the typically available black and gray.

Exclusive to the Matrix Series, retailers can customize the basket pattern with their logo or brand-identifying elements, tailor the side panels and handle, and select any Pantone color for each component of the cart, resulting in contemporary shopping carts that are unique extensions of the retailer’s brand.

“With the rise of online shopping, it’s never been more important for retailers to uphold a memorable, pleasurable in-store shopping experience,” said Brett Nelson, CEO. “The Matrix Series of premium carts and baskets will become iconic—a key differentiator for retailers—and make for unique shopping experiences that customers will look forward to.”

Peggs leveraged its decades of shopping cart manufacturing and maintenance in collaboration with the leading authority on all-plastic carts to bring this to fruition. Together with Supercart, the world leaders in all-plastic cart design, and a consulting firm that analyzed global design trends, Peggs developed the Matrix Series as a superior all-plastic cart that provides solutions to consistent issues and failures facing other all-plastic models.

Key benefits include:

• Made of a custom-engineered polymer that is longer-lasting and will remain colorfast.
• Improved strength of the gate assembly and an ergonomic handle.
• Higher-end P&H SuperWheels improve rolling and abrasion resistance with a longer lifespan.
• Addition of rolling caster lifts simplifies nesting and de-nesting, improving accessibility for older adults and people with disabilities, and reducing wear on wheels, which leads to lower maintenance and labor costs.
• Overall improvements allow for easier repairs and more affordable replacement parts, lowering the total cost of ownership.
• Carts and baskets are not only recyclable, but are also backed by Peggs’ commitment to assist retailers with an end-to-end service, ensuring all components are sustainably managed.

Matrix carts also bring the standard added value of all-plastic carts over metal. They convey quality and a more positive brand perception, are quieter and easier to push, more durable with a longer lifespan, lighter, less likely to bend and wobble, rust-resistant, and 100% recyclable.

“Everyone can think of a time they went to the store and got the rusty, noisy cart or a squeaky wheel,” Nelson said. “It’s a miserable experience that pushes people out of the store. Retailers need shoppers to dwell as long as possible to increase the dollar sales per transaction. With Matrix shopping carts, retailers won’t experience irritating sounds or wobbly wheels that negatively impact the customer experience and their bottom line.”

Matrix orders are being accepted now, with fulfillment expected by early September. Retailers interested in learning more can visit ThePeggsCompany.com.
