In this episode of Automatic Merchandiser’s Vending & OCS Nation, Bob Tullio focuses on the journey of Ocala, Florida-based Kim Miros – owner of DAC Total Refreshments. Miros admits that she is totally addicted to the business. She loves closing micro market, coffee service and vending deals.
Miros doesn’t think much about being a successful female business owner. What she is truly proud of is where her business is now – providing for herself, her employees and their families. Talking about it brings a tear to her eye.
Miros always wanted to own her own business. She left a successful and rewarding teaching career and bought a vending company. It seemed like a great idea, but Miros quickly realized that she was blindsided by the seller. The performance of the business wasn’t quite what she expected. For Miros, that was the start of a journey that was incredibly stressful, very inspiring, often amusing and certainly entertaining.
