Fresh Healthy Vending International, Inc. Books 120 Healthy Vending Machines in September

2014-10-01 06:00 ET - News Release

Total of 226 machines sold for the quarter representing $2,240,750 in deferred revenue for the first quarter of fiscal year two as a public company


SAN DIEGO -- (Business Wire)

Fresh Healthy Vending International, Inc.(OTC Markets: VEND), North America’s leading healthy vending franchisor, closed September with the addition of 120 combo machines booked to deferred revenue, representing nine newly appointed franchisees.

The 120 combo machines represent approximately $1.170 million in anticipated revenue and also represents one of our top ten months since inception.

“Fresh Healthy Vending continues to show strong results based on the fundamental initiatives implemented in our previous fiscal year,” states newly appointed CEO, Art Budman. “Additionally, the healthy initiatives being emphasized by schools, government offices and the ever-increasing customer awareness nationwide, are contributing to our demand.”

The Fresh Healthy Vending machines booked in September will be installed in locations such as school campuses, community centers, military bases, office break rooms, government offices and more.

This follows the news that California Governor Jerry Brown signed Senate Bill 912 (SB 912) to ensure that healthy food and drink options are offered in all vending machines located on state property. The legislation aims at combatting California’s diet-related public health crisis.
