Fresh Healthy Vending, has launched in Pinellas Park, Florida, through franchise owner Sandy Anthony. Anthony plans to install 10 Fresh Healthy Vending machines in various locations throughout the community, giving the community the option of healthy, natural snacks and beverages such as smoothies, soymilk, fruit, vegetables, yogurt, granola bars, baked chips and natural sodas.
“These vending machines are a great way to offer the community healthier food options tailored to their dietary needs,” said Dan Negroni, CEO of Fresh Healthy Vending. “Teaching kids the importance of eating healthfully and prompting them to make more nutritious food choices is something we believe is critical, especially considering the rise of child obesity. We are happy to see the community taking the necessary steps to safeguard their children and promote healthful living.”
Anthony purchased the vending machine franchise rights from San Diego-based Fresh Healthy Vending, which offers healthier vending machine snacks as an alternative to traditional vending machine junk food of sugary drinks and snacks. Inspired to better their own communities, these entrepreneurial franchise owners are dedicated to improving access to healthier snack and beverage options for the area.
