It’s hard to believe just a few short weeks have passed since VendCentral Inc. acquired Vending Connection. Since then, we’ve been diving into the impressive 30-year legacy of a brand dedicated to delivering essential news and resources to the convenience services industry.
With our acquisition, a new era is forming – and lots of people are asking us, what’s next?
That is a great question! We’ve been thinking about it a lot ourselves. I wanted to bring you all in close to share what you’ll be seeing over the next several months at Vending Connection. We are pretty excited. I hope, after reading this, you will be too.
A Vibrant New Website
We can’t wait to get our hands on vendingconnection.com and give it a modernized look and feel. Look for eye-catching new imagery and trending industry news to take center stage. The site will be easy to browse and return to time and time again. We think you are going to like what you see, and we are committed to continually evolving and growing the site. What do you most want on the new vendingconnection.com? Let us know your thoughts!
Enhanced Content
We are eager to mix it up so you can enjoy a variety of content, including not only up-to-the-minute vending industry and technology news but dynamic editorials and behind-the-scenes looks at what suppliers and manufacturers are doing to make your business better. We also want to invite more people into the conversation and will welcome content contributions from industry professionals. These changes will enhance not only our website but also our two newsletters: Industry Digest and Technology News. If you are an industry professional interested in contributing content, let us know. And, I want to invite you to subscribe to our newsletters so that you can stay up to date on what we are doing.
Updated Educational Resources
One of the things I love best about Vending Connection is how it helps entrepreneurs enter and succeed in the vending business. The world of convenience services is changing all of the time. From AI’s influence on the breakroom to innovative office coffee and water filtration equipment to healthier product offerings … we are moving fast! Our educational content will keep pace and be a valuable tool for today’s vending operators who want to stay ahead of the curve. What educational materials would be most helpful to you? Share with us.
Better Advertising Opportunities
To our valued advertising partners, these changes keep you in mind. We are introducing new ways to feature your vending products, services, and technologies in 2025. Our efforts are centered on helping you better connect with and inform vending operators so they are armed with the information they need to make the best decisions for their growing business.

A Forum for YOU
We want Vending Connection to be a forum for YOU! Stay tuned for some pretty significant changes in the way you will be able to interact with our website in the Routes For Sale and Classifieds categories. This may be a tease right now, but we promise it will be worth it! Sign up to be notified when these changes happen.
We’ve got big goals, and while they won’t be accomplished overnight, we want you to know we are hard at work for you. Every task we are taking on points to this: becoming the most useful resource for vending operators in the convenience services industry. We hope you will continue with us on the journey and share your feedback along the way. We will continue to create an experience you value and serve as a partner in helping your vending business grow and prosper.
