History:

We started the company in 1999 to provide the vending industry with a franchise-like option as there were only equipment sellers then. We helped people start traditional vending business opportunities. In 2007 we sold the first healthy vending machines in the nation and formed the HealthyYOU division. In 2024 Bloomberg TV named HealthyYOU Vending The World’s Greatest healthy vending company.  In 2025 we are changing the industry landscape by offering SmartMarts, as SmartMarket Solutions – the only company selling A.I. Convenience Stores as a business opportunity concept, fully supported with the same exact company leadership, programs, coaching, software, location acquisition support that made us the leader in the space for years.  It’s the same exact company, but now with the industry changing A.I. technology out front.  This is no longer vending – people have a retail experience with the cabinets that are ‘manned’ by A.I. computer vision. These cabinets collect sales tax, where in the vending space, the owner of vending machines PAYS the sales tax to the state or local government.

Next they watch a Location Strategy webinar which is followed by a call helping them put together their customized strategy for the location of their vending machines.

Other coaching sessions follow leading up to our two-day SmartMarket YOUniversity training in Utah. A copy of the Agenda is included in the Resources section.

SmartMarket YOUniversity is followed by additional coaching sessions. Most of our operators get involved in the machine location process so our location team works closely with them providing resources and support in working towards their specific location strategy.
