Podcast: Hard work, tenacity and technology – How Barry Rosenberg survived and then thrived

Aug. 15, 2023
Barry Rosenberg, a Los Angeles-area operator, has been driven by his love for the vending business and the determination to overcome adversity. In this episode of Vending & OCS Nation, Rosenberg shares his story and some advice for operators.

Bob Tullio, host of Automatic Merchandiser’s Vending & OCS Nation, first met Barry Rosenberg from VendingOne in the 1990s at Saban Entertainment in Los Angeles (Saban created the Power Rangers). At that time, Tullio was impressed that a one-man operation had somehow landed a major vending account where Tullio’s company had the coffee service.

Over 20 years later, Rosenberg is a force to be reckoned with – Tullio says he always was – but now, he is an established operator, who was interviewed in early August for an article in the Wall Street Journal. Rosenberg has come a long way, and in this episode of Vending & OCS Nation, he shares his story, some advice and his genuine love for the industry. Any operator who has ever been in the trenches will certainly relate to his story.
