Hometown Fresh Micro-Market! the Best Houston Texas Decision You Ever Made… and it didn’t cost you a dime!!
For years vending machines have been loved by break rooms everywhere. They offer convenience, provide delicious/healthy snacks for your staff employees. However, in these same years, vending machines have been loved to be hated. Products getting stuck, coin jams, dollar bills (no matter how many times you flatten them) won’t read and in some scenarios products (when they do vend) deliver only to be expired. In short, vending machines are just that: machines. And machines are not perfect sometimes causing frustration. But what if there was a system that was closer to perfect? One that prevents lost money and stuck products? One that offered even fresher food and guaranteed that customers never had to purchase an outdated product again? A micro-market from Hometown Fresh Markets is the answer.
A Hometown Fresh Micro-Market operates as a mini convenience store in break rooms or lounges in place of typical vending machines. With open shelving for shelf stable products, reach in coolers and freezers customers (your staff members) can touch their products before making a purchase. Imagine the possibility of touching and feeling your product choices prior to purchasing! Checking expiration dates and examining nutrition content is easy.
And for freshness?
Those reach in coolers, in addition to beverages; hold FRESH food like delicious sandwiches, salads, burritos, yogurts, parfaits, wraps, fruit, etc. are now readily accessible to your staff without ever having to leave their Houston, Conroe, Woodlands offices.
So what does all of this mean for your business? How does happier and healthier employees, less off-site staff lunches, and improved employee efficiency sound? Which in turn increases your company’s bottom line as happy employees produce better results.

Hometown Vending, a micro market vending company, held the Fox Sports Network micro-market grand opening last week. The micro market turned out great and we are really happy with the overwhelmingly positive response received thus far. The Fox Sports Network management and staff have all accepted the change. We provided Fox Sports with traditional vending machine services for over five years now and management approached us with interest in converting over to a micro-market. With the micro market concept, we now able to offer fresh foods… including fresh made sandwiches, hamburgers, dinner platters, breakfast items, fresh salads, fruit bowls, as well as other fresh healthy choices.
Micro market vending companies are now becoming more popular in the Houston area and growth should continue over the next few years. The neat thing about micro-markets is the limitless offerings now available to our customers. For example, we had a Fox Sports staff member ask for fruit… we simply added fruit as an option and now able to offer fresh fruit. It would be nearly impossible to add fruit to traditional vending machines. Hometown Vending looks forward to converting a few more existing customers to micro-markets and securing new locations throughout the Woodlands, Conroe, Tomball and other surrounding areas around Houston Texas!
In conclusion, adding a micro-market to your business is a great way to keep your staff and visitors happy. Fresh markets look great and can compliment your business.

We are excited to inform our customers that we are now using a vending route software system.. a.k.a. VMS system! The company is called Stream VMS and the system tracks our drivers, cash management, scheduling, customer commissions, machine and location reports and more. The iOS Stream app is utilized and data is pushed to our realtime dashboard for enabling total control of our business. We know exactly how money each driver should be bringing back each day from each machine or location. Furthermore, all commissioned customers now have a unique user name and password they will use to login and view all current and past commission reports. Upgrading our business is extremely important now days to keep up with the competition. Most of the large vending operators have been using some sort of system for years now. The small to medium companies are now starting to get on board with technology.
Stream VMS vending machine management system is cutting edge technology and we are pleased to offer it our valued customers. Stream VMS is located at www.streamvms.com and we feel the investment has allowed us to grow and not have to worry to much about drivers skimming the money. Furthermore, customers now want the best service possible and an organized consistent schedule is key. Route drivers forgetting stops or machines causes frustration and can lead to changes in vending companies. Hometown Vending’s customers now longer have to worry about accidentally skipping their location, etc. The Stream scheduling feature makes it easy to keep track of things.
