PizzaForno, a North American automated pizza vending machine company, has opened a location in St. Simons Island, Georgia. Husband and wife Tanner and Holley Rogers are the entrepreneurs behind the expansion and have experience in owning and operating local restaurants, according to a press release.

Seeking more flexible hours, the couple began investing in grab-and-go options like Sammies, a local sandwich shop.

"As we launch the very first PizzaForno unit in the area, we're filled with excitement for what's to come," Holley Rogers said in the release. "At Sammies, we're all about convenience, without sacrificing taste. We're thrilled to expand on this idea and offer our neighbors and visitors a quick, delicious, option, 24/7."

The Rogers also customized their PizzaForno unit with glass doors. "Though the unit is completely operational from the outside, we welcome customers to come in to Sammies when we're open and see this impressive piece of technology at work," Holley Rogers said in the release.
