Case Study: Open Pantry Food Marts catches a $7,200 theft with Verkada

How a Premier Convenience Store & Gas Station Chain Caught a $7,200 Theft

Open Pantry Food Marts, a Wisconsin convenience store and gas station chain, needed to investigate a missing $7,200 cash box theft after its DVR system failed due to a corrupted hard drive and had been offline for days. The company turned to Verkada cameras to help capture and review critical security footage, supported by hybrid cloud storage and 24/7 access through the Command platform.

With Verkada, Open Pantry was able to recover and share video evidence of the theft, speeding investigations by 85% compared with its old DVR setup. The footage helped identify the perpetrator and was easily shared with law enforcement, while Verkada’s reliable, cloud-connected camera system reduced single points of failure and improved overall security operations.
