VendCentral Marketing Solutions will continue to create and manage marketing strategies, websites, and social media content for operators and manufacturers throughout the United States and Canada. 

Coolbreakrooms remains the go-to resource for breakroom decision-makers seeking the latest services and technology. 

Vending Connection will maintain its role as a vital news and information hub for vending operators.
