Vending Outreach Program
With the vending industry now in existence for over 50 years and currently generating nearly 42 billion dollars in sales each year, MSAA would like to thank the industry's many dedicated Vending Industry Professionals that have partnered with MSAA's Vending Outreach Program.
As the vending machine industry moves into the twenty first century, there are an ever-increasing number of vending opportunities throughout America, from soft drinks to gumballs. And with new storefront businesses opening daily the potential market for new vending operators provides countless locations for new vending machines to be placed.
Through the MSAA Vendor Operator Fundraising Program that we have developed your customers will know that as a charitable business owner you recognize the needs of others because your promotion of this program will assist those faced daily with multiple sclerosis.
