SAN FRANCISCO, June 15, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fresh Healthy Vending LLC today named popchips as its best selling "snack of the year". "We are thrilled with the sales of popchips in our healthy vending machines," said Jolly Backer, CEO of Fresh Healthy Vending. "Our school location vending machines often feature several rows of popchips™ and the kids simply cannot get enough of them," said Backer. popchips are a healthier alternative to the fried (unhealthy) or baked (undelicious) chips currently found in many vending machines.
"All the low-fat health talk has been taking the flavor, not to mention the fun, out of snacking," said popchips co-founder and CEO, Keith Belling. "We found that by popping our chips, we could put the flavor, and the fun, back into a great tasting, all-natural line of chips. After all, if it doesn't taste good -- it isn't a snack. We are really excited about the success of popchips in Fresh Vending Machines and look forward to supporting their efforts to promote popchips in their nationwide rollout."
Fresh Healthy Vending is succeeding by capitalizing on the growing demand nationwide for nutrition & wellness. Fresh Healthy Vending has plans to deploy over 5000 machines across the U.S. over the next 2 years. "The demand for healthy vending has exploded with school districts calling us every week," says Backer. "The demand from locations and potential franchisees is truly overwhelming."
The franchise model includes extensive training for franchisees, state of the art vending technology and a product line which includes best selling healthy brands, including products such as 100% Juices & Smoothies from Odwalla and Bolthouse Farms, Yogurts from Stonyfield Farms and Cascade along with a wide range of over 400 other natural and organic snacks and beverages from top brands such as popchips, vitaminwater, Fiji, Roberts, Kashi, Stacy's, Clif, Honest, Horizon Organics amongst others.
