Nashville Attracts Healthy Vending Company as Vend Natural Expands Into Davidson & Williamson Counties
Nashville, TN (PRWEB) November 01, 2011
Vend Natural, America’s leading healthy vending company offering all natural organic, snacks and beverages, today announced the expansion of its operations in the Nashville, TN area, reflecting a growing national trend towards healthier living.
Adding to its growing footprint nationwide, Vend Natural of Tennessee – led by Franklin resident and company President Toni Pack – will provide access to a full range of healthy convenience eating options to schools, universities, hospitals and other businesses in the Davidson and Williamson County communities and beyond.
Vend Natural – http://www.vendnatural.com – founded by company CEO Gil Sanchez, was formed to address the declining health of our nation by providing healthier snacking alternatives to on-the-go individuals at schools, hospitals and businesses. The company’s mission is to support improved eating practices by offering healthy products that are easily accessible and affordable to everyone.
“The Nashville metropolitan area – long known as the center of the music industry and home to many colleges and universities – is the perfect place to welcome healthy snacking alternatives in convenience eating,” said Toni Pack, healthy vending entrepreneur. “We are all anxious to address the epidemic of childhood obesity and diabetes. Vend Natural’s healthy snack machines, with their wide assortment of all natural, organic beverages and snacks, offer the right alternative to traditional high-fat, low nutritional value snacks in hospitals, schools and other public venues.” Pack continued, “We expect strong demand for our healthy snack machines in both Davidson and Williamson counties as others hear about the Vend Natural solution. We know that even small changes can make big differences and we want to part of that kind of change for our community.”
Vend Natural CEO Gil Sanchez says, “We are pleased to see leaders in the Nashville area join our business across the country.” “Toni Pack is a strong operator with a real commitment to expanding Vend Natural’s presence in her home state. As a long-time resident of the Franklin area with a proven track record in business, Toni Pack and her operating team are strongly invested in ensuring that their community never has to trade health for convenience, “said Sanchez.
Vend Natural is the only healthy snacking company in the country that not only partners with business owners coast to coast, but also owns and operates its own machines on the west and east coasts. This enables the company to test new equipment and products before full roll-out and provide the most relevant training and customer service operation for its distributors. “We don’t just ‘sell’ the business, we are IN the business, which makes us significantly more knowledgeable about what works and what doesn’t,” said Mr. Carpenter. Part of Vend Natural’s mission is to ensure a fresh product mix and their strong relationship with Del Monte Fresh Produce ensure that fresh cut apples, pineapples, carrots, celery, whole bananas and more, are available to their customers.
