Vending fueled by friendship
Who we are
We’re lifelong best friends who’ve known each other since kindergarten — and we’re still showing up for snack time.
One of us is a teacher specializing in early childhood education and Montessori-inspired care. The other is a tech-savvy ops manager and start-up junkie who loves building businesses from the ground up. Together, we’ve spent years searching for better snacks and wellness products — ones that actually make us feel good physically and reflect the values we live by.
So we built FriendVend: a vending company powered by purpose, fueled by community, and filled with feel-good favorites.
Why we started this
We’re tired of machines filled with the same old junk.
We wanted:
Better snacks and wellness products in more places
A business model that gives back
Creativity & collaboration for connection while doing some good
We don’t just stock shelves. We curate experiences that center health, inclusion, sustainability, and real impact. From the brands we source to the causes we support, everything we do is designed to make small choices matter.
We Believe…
Snacks should be delicious and not terrible for you
Supporting women-, LGBTQIA+-, BIPOC-, disability-owned brands, and those committed to wellness, sustainability, and equity is non-negotiable.
You shouldn’t have to choose between convenience and values — small changes lead to big impact
Community Comes First
At the end of the day, this is about more than vending. It’s about connection — with your customers, community, and each other. That’s why every machine we place is a little act of care, wrapped in branding, stocked with intention, and backed by purpose.
