Company's Unique System for Securing Locations for Its Franchisees Continues Successfully in January

/EINPresswire.com/ -- SAN DIEGO, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 02/09/16 -- Fresh Healthy Vending International, Inc. (OTCQB: VEND) continued securing locations for its franchisees in January with an unprecedented number of community/recreation centers and schools.

The Company, which franchises its Fresh Healthy Vending machines and micro markets throughout the U.S. and Canada, has a proprietary location securing process that is followed by a dedicated team of location procurement specialists. Additionally, each franchisee gets a dedicated account manager to make sure the locations secured are of the highest quality, in terms of captive audience foot traffic and health food demand.

"My Fresh territory account manager has taken a keen interest in using our feedback and expectations to make sure they propose locations that are highly likely to succeed," says franchisee Steve Winters, who co-owns a Fresh Healthy Vending franchise in Texas. "They look only for high traffic locations that are anxious to get healthy vending machines in their facilities." Since the Company takes the responsibility of securing locations for their franchisees, its expertise and experience comes to bear on every location, leaving little if any room for unsuccessful placements.

Chief among the locations the Company secured in January were a large number of community and recreation centers, including YMCAs, YWCAs, fitness and dance facilities and more. YMCA and YWCAs included locations in Ohio, Tennessee, Washington DC and Pennsylvania.

"We decided to go with Fresh Healthy Vending based on the well known brand, the look of the machines, and the focus on available health food choices," says George O'Brien, CEO of the Greenburg (PA) YMCA. "It is important that our YMCA members are able to get good tasting, healthy snacks and drinks when they're here and we think they'll be drawn to the compelling design of these high tech machines."

The number and types of schools welcoming Fresh Healthy Vending to their institutions continued to grow in January, with high schools and junior highs in Michigan, Kentucky and New York, as well educational facilities such as The Stadium School in Baltimore, MD and The Karate School in Ft. Worth, TX. Junior high and high schools are among the most involved institutions to place healthy vending, thanks in part to the fact that they must meet the federally mandated guidelines that are part of the Smart Snacks in School initiative, which went into effect in 2014. The Company has dedicated account managers who can help schools choose foods and drinks that meet those guidelines and give other pointers that benefit any kind of school seeking Fresh Healthy Vending.
