Fresh Healthy Vending International, Inc. Ranked Number One Vending Franchise On Entrepreneur Magazine's 2015 Franchise 500® List

Jan. 8, 2015

San Diego, Calif. – (December 22, 2014) – Fresh Healthy Vending International, Inc. (OTC Markets: VEND), North America's leading healthy vending franchisor, has been named the top vending franchisor to Entrepreneur Magazine's 2015 Franchise 500® list. Ranking at number 357, Fresh Healthy Vending is the highest-performing vending franchisor to make the prestigious list.

The magazine's 36th Annual Franchise 500 ranking reveals the impact of the newest trends, most successful franchise concepts and the industries poised for growth, in the U.S. The Company maintains more franchises and corporate-owned units than any other healthy or traditional vending company on the list.

"Fresh Healthy Vending continues to grow due to several factors – a robust franchise network, strong business model, extensive franchise support and diligent management team," said Nick Yates, founder of Fresh Healthy Vending. "We believe we not only offer the most comprehensive franchise model, but we will become our own biggest franchisee, with the implementation of our corporate-owned operations. Rather than solely providing tools for franchisees to be successful, we're on the ground experiencing all aspects of the business alongside them."

Fresh Healthy Vending's growth can also be attributed to its ongoing innovation and consistent offering of new tools and products. The brand recently introduced a breakthrough, industry-leading mobile app that allows operators to accept payments and distribute custom news, rewards and product information to any smartphone user, on Android or Apple iOS®.

For the ranking, all companies, regardless of size, are judged by the same criteria: objective, quantifiable measures of a franchise operation. The most important factors include financial strength and stability, growth rate and size of the system. Also considered is the number of years a company has been in business and the length of time it's been franchising, startup costs, litigation, percentage of terminations and whether the company provides financing.
