Happy National Vending Day! Every year, the convenience services industry celebrates the employees and businesses who meet the needs of over 40 million Americans daily at work, home, school, and play. ? Let’s appreciate the thousands of people working behind the scenes to keep vending machines, micro markets, and all other self-serve retail stocked and running…making our lives a little easier. ? I've had the privilege in the last year to tour operator sites from Boston to Alabama to see how our members bring convenience to life; advocate in state capitals across the country to raise visibility and effect meaningful change for the industry; and speak with countless industry champions passionate about what we do. ? This was a great year for convenience services, and next year will be even better. Onward! ? #VendingDay #ConvenienceThatCares National Automatic Merchandising Association

The "baby branch" is growing up y'all! Golden Age was acquired just over a year ago. When I first walked into this office it was 2 desks, a drink line, and a couple of iPads. Yesterday marked the beginning of implementing a brand new snack line, an upgraded LightSpeed Automation system, and putting in a candy room. Grateful for the team making it happen and the vote of confidence from leadership! All this announced on the best day of the year #NationalVendingDay #vendingday #conveniencethatcares
