Do you ONLY offer healthy products? We like the idea of healthy vending, but don't want civil unrest!
We normally carry a few of the "must have" items like Coke, Diet Coke and peanut M&M's in order to keep the peace and make everyone happy. We are happy to expand or scale back these offerings to fit your needs.
Wait, isn't that selling out? Aren't you supposed to be a HEALTHY vending business?
Yes, but we also believe "the customer is always right!" We've found that if we don't offer ANY junk food at all, some people just decide to go with a different vendor altogether, and nobody gets the benefit of healthier products!
What price do you charge for _____________? It's my favorite!
On any given product we are likely to charge the standard sale price you'd expect to pay at a mini-mart or grocery store. We always do our best to keep prices low, even if we have to "eat" some costs.
Do you offer service in Tacoma? Olympia? Albuquerque?
At this time we only operate in the greater Seattle area. Check back in a couple years!
Do you participate in "subsidized vending" programs?
Yes! We have several programs available and will be happy to customize one specifically for your organization.
Okay, what's the catch? There must be some kind of charge for this great service!
We do not charge anything for our service! The catch is that in some cases, we will actually PAY YOU a commission check at the end of every fiscal quarter!
We are a small company who is lucky enough to have some great people onboard. Every one of these folks fulfills a vital role and helps ensure that you'll get the best vending service possible!

Austin V. - Yelp Review
"Finally, a vending machine with food that I want to eat! Keep it up Lean Machines "Adam M. - Yelp Review
"I spend way more money than I care to admit with these machines. Much better selection than you usually find in a vending machine especially if you're trying to eat healthier. I can get a decent lunch for under $5 which is more than you can say for any fast food place.."Jay "The Juiceman" Kordich
"Get away from the donuts and the candy bars and the cheesecakes. Go to life! Go to life!.."
