REMAINING PART-TIME OWNERS
Shapiro and Kritz have no plans of quitting their regular jobs while building S&O Vending. They spend much of their free time at the warehouse. Kritz works in the morning before going to his retail job and Shapiro works nights after getting off from his shift at the restaurant.
“It’s a sacrifice, but it’s a worthwhile one,” said Shapiro.
‘Green’ products create new growth opportunities
Something S&O Vending is really excited about is new ‘green’ disposable cutlery. The forks, spoons and even plates are made from potato and corn byproducts and are 100 percent biodegradable. “The reality today is that these products are more expensive, so we’re offering them for those early adopters — companies with people passionate about the environment,” said partner Steve Kritz. S&O has also bought mugs for each employee at some locations, instead of offering disposable cups.
