With its mission of “making healthy food more convenient than junk food,” HUMAN Healthy Vending is changing the face of an industry notorious for offering fat and sugar-laden junk food.
Since its inception in 2008, HUMAN (which stands for Helping Unite Mankind and Nutrition) has transformed the concept of automated retail, disrupting the $42 billion vending industry through its better-for-you nutritious product offerings. HUMAN only carries food brands that have fewer chemicals, reduced sugar, and will keep you energized throughout the day. In an industry that distributes over 13 billion snacks and drinks a year, access to healthier options can have a massive impact on the overall health and well being of millions of people.
HUMAN strengthens community health, wellness, and engagement by providing schools, gyms, businesses, hospitals, and other health-conscious organizations with easy access to healthier food and drinks. They recently gave back to the vending community as well by sharing their Complete Guide to Starting a Vending Machine Business. This comprehensive, up-to-date vending industry resource provides critical information for people looking to start their own small business.
The guide was developed by HUMAN CEO, Sean Kelly, who has more than 12 years of experience in the vending machine industry, and was named one of Forbes Magazine’s Top 30 under 30.
HUMAN was recently recognized as the #1 franchise in the vending category in Entrepreneur magazine’s 2016 Franchise 500.
