A pair of Florida entrepreneurs have created vending machines to sell locally crafted art. Lucid Vending has deployed the machines at Pom Pom Teahouse and Sandwicheria in St Petersburg, according to a thatsotampa.com report.

The company, owned by Kayla Cox and Chance Ryan, provides local businesses with the machines, operates them and rewards them with "rent" and a social media presence.

The machines also provide hand sanitizer from St. Pete Distillery and masks from Mask Up, a local non-profit.
