(OTC Markets:VEND), North America's leading healthy vending franchisor, announces its procurement of 97 locations in November 2014 for the intended placement of healthy snack machines and micro markets across the nation. The locations were secured for the company's franchise and corporate-owned operations network.
"Our consistent procurement of what we believe to be prime locations is a testament to the ongoing demand for Fresh Healthy Vending products and services," said Alex Kennedy, director of franchise development for Fresh Healthy Vending International, Inc. "There is no scarcity of locations across the country that are qualified and willing to have healthy vending machines placed in their establishments, and we're proud to have been able to secure those that are most sought after, for our franchise and corporate-owned operations network, again this past month."
Educational facilities, again, made up the majority of the 97 locations secured during November. Fresh Healthy Vending continues to support the efforts of the USDA's Smart Snacks in School regulation, which establishes minimum nutrition standards for all foods sold a la carte, in school stores, and in vending machines. Fresh Healthy Vending's website platform, http://www.freshandhealthy.org, caters to the new USDA guidelines and supports locations looking to implement a healthy vending program.
"One of the main reasons I chose Fresh Healthy Vending was due to its program offering to find me locations for the healthy vending machines I purchased, based on its team's vast knowledge and experience with other franchise locations," said Joe Boese, a Fresh Healthy Vending franchisee in Kentucky. "The excitement has been stirring for the healthy snack machines to be placed in the dozen locations Fresh Healthy Vending has secured in my region, and I am hopeful for that enthusiasm to persist, post-installation."
