Small Business Startup for Healthier Snack Vending

Root & Vine Vending's purpose is to provide delicious, healthier food and drink options that are better fuel for people's bodies than the traditional junk food options pushed by conventional vending. My goal is to have machines in various locations throughout Central FL and improve the health and well-being of people in a time crunch or with no alternative. Think of the mom with 2 kids in the ER with only Snickers and sodas for nutrition. The student running from class to class with no time to slow down. The employee that has back-to-back meetings and cannot break away. Please help me to add value to the community by filing a need that is already existing in the marketplace for years! Our motivation to do this business is to provide a service to the community while also building a partially passive income stream for our future. We personally have been in situations before where only sodas and junk food were available to us to eat and drink at times when we actually required healthy foods to feel better. Our ultimate goal is to be able to quit our full-time jobs to focus more on our non-profit. We would ultimately like to get to 40+ machines in operation and hire an employee or two, which also serves the community by creating jobs!
