Now that I’m no longer living there, whenever I come across something that’s based out of New York I tend to zoom in on it and pay close attention. I did this before I moved down to Delaware too, oddly enough.
I found out that there’s a company located in Deer Park that’s named Vendstar. They were established back in 1990 and have become one of the leading bulk candy vending machine manufacturers in the United States. So the machine you’re randomly throwing quarters into for your kids, or just the child in you, was more than likely manufactured by them. I just thought it was strange to see Deer Park shoot up because that’s where Sean’s aunt lives at the moment, probably why I became so interested in the article. These machines have actually improved over the last 100 years, and with new technology there now digital. It takes away from the nostalgia but I can understand why it was done, I guess.
Recently, Vendstar has added new product offerings to enhance the Vendstar 3000 machine. The Vendstar EZ-Count® Meter allows the vendor to derive exact collection amounts from each machine by digitally updating the total quarters accepted. Vendstar has also released a 1” wheel that will allow the Vendstar 3000 machine to dispense one inch gumballs and toy capsules. This new development lets vendors expand their product offerings and benefit from a larger, more diverse market.
The rest of the article is offering you the ability to work with multivend and run your own vending business. You’re not going to make millions of dollars but at least it’s something different to see. Improving on old things isn’t ever a bad thing – you know?
I wouldn’t have the patients to do that , but it sounds like a neat idea.
