Outpacing the industry in customer retention, our company continues to be built on a “customers first” basis. As a full-service refreshment services company, we represent such blue chip companies as the Museum of Science and Industry and United Airlines, providing their employees and the public with a full range of vending, office coffee and micro market products and services. Our increasingly sophisticated in-house systems, such as Remote Machine Monitoring initially adopted in 2008 and cashless vending, benefit our clients and their customers on a daily basis. Plus, the first rebranding of Mark Vend in 50 years has also helped propel our growth from a midsize supplier to one of Chicago’s leading service companies. Our partnerships with leading vending/OCS companies on the East and West Coasts have positioned us as the go-to Midwest partner for many national accounts that require representation in the middle U.S.

Began a 35-year career by learning from the founders of Mark Vend, Andy and Bonnie Stein, our parents, who built a tradition of retaining great clients through customer service excellence. From vending machine management to sales/service to emerging technologies, we became early adopters of industry innovations and new technologies in the vending and OCS markets. Doing so enabled us to attract such prestige accounts as the Deublin Company, Winnetka Community House, the Park District of Highland Park and General Business Forms, clients we still call our partners today. In addition, the implementation of sophisticated internal computer systems allowed us to help our clients better manage their vending and OCS needs, ultimately providing greater benefits to their employees in the process.
