Vending Franchisees Expanding
The San Diego-based vending machine company recently announced that it had secured locations for 58 healthy snack machines across the country in February; of that number, 23 are in businesses that teach and support health and fitness.
Securing locations where franchisees will install their machines are part of the company's franchise services. The fast-growing franchisor provides a variety of prime locations for its machines and has determined prime placements to yield optimal performance.
Company Gains Traction in Health-and-Fitness Sector
Many of the February locations secured are in health and fitness facilities such as Boy and Girls Club in Brockton, Mass.; Strong Martial Arts in Richmond, Texas; Dance City & the Arts in Southington, Conn.; Swim Jim in Houston, Texas and Lake Park YMCA in Lake Park, Ga.
Recent federal and other mandates for healthy foods for America's youth have also been a factor in the heightened demand for healthy snack options. The company continues to grow its footprint in public, charter and private middle and high schools, libraries and museums, Boys and Girls Clubs and YMCAs.
Additional new locations in February include South Point High School in Phoenix, Ariz.; Pendleton Heights Middle School in Pendleton, Ind.; Apple Store in Santa Rosa, Calif.; Shipman Technologies in Durham, N.C.; East Lake Community Library in Palm Harbor, Fla. and VA Medical Center in New York, N.Y. These types of locations have seen increased product sales where quality food choices are readily available for patients, visitors and staff around the clock.
Raises Additional $500,000
On Feb. 27, Fresh Healthy Vending announced that it has raised additional capital through the issuance of senior secured promissory notes to three investors in the aggregate principal amount of $501,000.
The proceeds from this issuance will be used principally to provide general working capital which may be utilized in support of the proposed acquisition of certain micro-market assets from Corporate Refreshment Services, LLC and initial further placements of micro-market installations that will comprise the first phase of expansion for the Company's corporate-owned micro-market business.
On Mar. 24, VEND shares closed at $3.19, down 50 cents from its closing price of $3.69 the previous day.
