Deployment Brings 24/7 Access to Everyday Essentials Steps from Residents' Doors and Provides Property Owners with a High-Visibility Amenity with Zero Operational Burden From Site Preparation to Go-Live within Two Weeks with Smart Store Launch Targeted for November 11, 2026 LAS VEGAS , Oct. 27, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VenHub Global, Inc. (NASDAQ: VHUB) ("VenHub" or the "Company"), a leader in fully autonomous Smart Store technology, today announced it will install a VenHub Smart Store at a multifamily residential complex located on North Las Vegas Boulevard in Las Vegas, Nevada . Site preparation for the new installation will begin October 28, 2026 , with the opening of the Smart Store expected on November 11, 2026 . The deployment marks VenHub's first multifamily residential complex Smart Store in its home market of Las Vegas and follows the Company's recently announced expansion into the multifamily sector with its planned deployment at Penn Lofts in Bend, Oregon . It reflects growing demand from property owners and managers seeking new ways to enhance the resident experience, differentiate their properties, and capture everyday convenience spend on-site without having to manage the operations of the store. " Las Vegas is our home base, and bringing a VenHub Smart Store to a multifamily community here is an important milestone as we scale our residential strategy," said Shahan Ohanessian , Founder and CEO of VenHub. "Residents get a store that never closes, right where they live. Owners get an amenity that helps them lease, retain, and stand out, with no inventory, staffing, or retail operations to manage. We manage everything, and the store quickly becomes a daily-use landmark for the community." Convenience Built Into Where Residents Live The VenHub Smart Store will give residents access to snacks, beverages, household essentials, and everyday products 24 hours a day, seven days a week, on their schedule rather than a store's. Key resident benefits include: 24/7 Access, Zero Compromise: Residents can shop for everyday needs at any hour, with no drive, no line, and no wait. An Amenity Built for Real Life: Night-shift workers, parents, remote workers, and residents without easy access to transportation gain an essential service steps from their door. Essentials When It Matters Most: Late nights, early mornings, and quick runs that once meant leaving home no longer do. Fewer Car Trips and Delivery Fees: On-site access reduces trips off property and reliance on third-party delivery platforms, helping residents save time and avoid added delivery and service fees. A Leasing and Retention Advantage for Property Owners For owners and property managers, the VenHub Smart Store delivers a tech-forward, autonomous retail amenity that can be showcased on every leasing tour, without the cost or complexity of running a retail operation. VenHub's autonomous Smart Stores operate without on-site cashiers or property staffing responsibilities, and VenHub manages the inventory, restocking, and retail operations. Key property owner and manager benefits include: Higher Resident Satisfaction, Stronger Retention: Daily convenience strengthens the resident experience and supports lease renewal performance. Smarter Use of Property Space: VenHub's autonomous Smart Store footprint activates underutilized space without requiring a traditional convenience-store footprint. Built-In 24/7 Security: The integrated monitoring in every VenHub Smart Store adds a round-the-clock security presence on the property. Supports On-Property Spend: The store captures convenience spend that would otherwise leave the community. A Premium, Future-Ready Profile: Property owners committing to this highly visible technology amenity signal their willingness to invest in the future of living, helping to attract technology-forward renters and positioning their property ahead of market norms in residential retail convenience.

The expected timeline for the launch of this new Smart Store is: Site preparation begins: Wednesday, October 28, 2026 Installation begins: Monday, November 2, 2026 Smart Store launch: Wednesday, November 11, 2026 VenHub Smart Stores operate 24 hours a day without on-site staff and combine robotics, AI-driven inventory management, and mobile-first checkout to deliver a fast, secure, and fully autonomous shopping experience.
