Fresh Healthy Vending Franchise Information
Fresh Health Vending Franchisees are a great solution to the current problem we are facing with obesity in America. Even young children see the foods in vending machines and think it’s acceptable to eat those types of snacks and drinks on a regular basis.
Fresh Health Vending stocks their machines with super healthy snacks and drinks. Obviously, this creates healthy options for people who are on the go. It also allows children to understand that healthy snacks to exist, and it helps teach them the importance of healthy eating. It is vital to our health that we are not loading our bodies up with sugar, high fructose corn syrup, artificial ingredients and starches that provide no actual nutrients that help us function. The typical vending machine is filled up with these types of foods so we end up eating them because they are convenient. For example, one ounce of regular potato chips have 140 calories and 7 grams of fat, and virtually no nutrition that will stick with an active person as they live out an active lifestyle. With Fresh Healthy Vending, people who are on the go have options too, options that taste good and are filling. Fresh Health Vending machines carry both chilled and non-chilled products. They sell fruit smoothies, yogurt and tea, all organic. Some dry food options include organic dried fruit, air-popped chips, granola bars, and apple-sauce.
For a person who wants a crunchy snack comparable to a bag of potato chips, they sell air-popped chips—they have way less grams of fat than the typical serving found in vending machines. The best part about these foods is that you know they will give you energy that is sustainable verses the sugar rush from processed foods that are found in other foods. These vending machines are now found in many U.S. schools, which is great because children are being given these same options. If they grow up being offered healthy options, then when the children are older they will likely choose to eat foods with the same nutritional values. Fresh Healthy Vending is a great option to put in a school or business who cares about the health and well-being of children and those who purchase the snacks. With so many options that taste good and are filling, customers have plenty to choose from. They don’t miss out on options just because they are choosing to eat from a health vending machine. Fresh Healthy vending is creating healthy alternatives for people who are on the go.

interesting information! where did you get it? i am curious to read more!
Hi Veronica, this information was from the Fresh Healthy Vending Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD). If you would like more information please tell us what you are looking for and we can point you in the right direction.
If only more people today could put out information similar to this. Very beneficial and factual information. I believe this company is in someway affiliated with Yo Naturals. Yo Naturals had a very similar business model and closed down in 2010. This company offers almost the exact same business and from the information you can see half their management used to work for Yo Naturals. Looks like another scam to me.
I heard the same thing, but they guarantee placement of machines, but after all of the costs are there any profits?
Fresh healthy vending Machines = Money for Schools and Health for Kids. Fresh Healthy Vending donates up to $500 for every Fresh Healthy Vending Machine placed in a school and the products in Fresh Healthy Vending Machines always meet or exceed nutritional guidelines set by the state. If you’re interested to read more about this you can get more info at schools.freshvending.com.
thats great but how about the owner of the franchise. he did all of the investment . just another comment form a company spokeshole
Very helpful post man, thanks for the info.
Is this Fresh Vending Machine franchise business profitable?
What I read is that there is no franchise yet sold with the company?
Thank you for the pdf infos
I didn’t know this company was that young, and didn’t have any franchise sold yet.
Thank you
Does anyone know anything about the Fresh Healthy Vending franchise business? Is this profitable? What’s the min and max sales average profit for each machine? Is this a scam? The site looks great but would like to hear from someone that knows facts about the business.
Thanks!
While these machines can be profitable it depends on the location having enough people to support a machine. What we have found is that the people behind the franchise simply try to get your machines placed at the bare minimum. Most of our locations do not generate income to pay off these machines let alone take any money home. The company is no help once they place a machine and have your money. We typically hear that “we have done what the contract requires”.
They then continue to try and get places that want a machine, and start layering franchisees over each other, and holding back enough good locations to suck other people in
Phil,
I’m assuming by your post you have several machines. Do you mind sharing how many machines you have and the types of locations where they reside? How long have they been in service? Have any of your machines been profitable? ROI? Thanks in advance, Chris
Total SCAM. Come on over 100k for ten machines. They are CRAZY. Its a biz op scam . To get your ROI (return on Investment), it would take ten years. Helathy vending in the first place is nearly impossible, the majority of people do not want to pay those huge prices and they still want to have their coke and snickers. Why dosent the company own and service all of their machines?. I forgot they want ot make money off of a dumb sucker like YOU. If you have over a 100 k to spend gie it to me and i will invest in real estate and other profitable adventures.
