National Vending Day

#VendingDay

National Vending Day celebrates the vibrant vending community, spotlighting the unsung heroes that serve millions of American consumers through vending machines every year.

With a total economic impact of more than $34.9 billion, the convenience services industry employs over 160,000 hard-working Americans, pays $10.4 billion in wages, and contributes $3.5 billion taxes at every level of government.

From traditional vending to micro markets, self-serve retail meets the needs of over 40 million American consumers daily at work, home, school, and play. Convenience services is about meeting people's needs and providing consumer choice everywhere, any time, every day. And vending has long existed to answer this call.
