Mobile, Ala.-based Carts Blanche announced it has launched "VendaCarts," a vehicle and trailer with a traveling retail store that offers kiosks, digital and LCD signage, automated vending, an ATM, food and beverages, and merchandising.
The firm said it created the VendaCart by combining products and services from the vending, catering and concession-equipment industries. A VendaCart is operated by one worker to generate maximum profits, says Annette Antoine Nolan, founder and CEO of Carts Blanche.
A VendaCart is a custom-designed, mobile, automated retail store equipped with up to nine built-in vending machines, a combination of service units such as microwaves, change makers and condiment stands. Once on location, the sides of the kiosk open to create awnings and expose the ready-to-operate automated store.
Carts Blanche says that combining five industries under one roof offers the operator as many as 26 distinct profit centers. Carts Blanche says that a VendaCart can be driven to and operated at special events marketplaces, construction/building sites, manufacturing locations, university settings, entertainment facilities and disaster relief sites.
