FHV Boston Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 New to the fresh food vending game (I know, I know...I had to offer fresh food to secure a huge account) I have a local guy making my salads and sandwiches, but looking for some product ideas. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZVendor Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Then you are on your own to find your own local sources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo Vending Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Where I’m at some of the larger operations can buy from Sysco, PFG(which now owns Vistar) Mcclane’s among others but they don’t touch us small fish. You might have to forgo that location. Lose the battle to win the war kinda thing. If you only buy what’s at Sams then you won’t have any kind of variety. It will be the same thing over and over, and eventually someone will come in with a micro mart presentation (if it really is that huge), see what you offer and realize it’s club warehouse and grocery store offerings and you’re out anyways.

Southeast Treats Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Stop at some local C-Stores that don't have in-house deli and see what brands are in their cold food section. I was able to locate a local company and start buying from them for sandwiches and subs. Although if you are having good luck with your local deli deal that may work out better in the long run....
