Automated food-service merchandiser Sheehan Brothers Vending has picked Mvix digital signage systems for its new offering called Micromarkets (a.k.a. Contemporary Cafes), according to an announcement from Mvix. As a part of this service, Sheehan will equip these on-site markets with cloud-based digital menu boards provided by Mvix.

Sheehan Brothers Vending is a family-owned, full-line vending service that operates vending machines, commissaries and cafes in businesses, schools, hospitals, government offices, recreation facilities, factory floors and executive board rooms. With the inception of its new service called Micromarkets, Sheehan Brothers Vending is establishing small, convenience store-like open markets where customers can make purchases using a self-checkout kiosk at offices and work-sites. These custom-designed, unattended, 24/7 micro convenience stores carry several hundred fresh-food items for office employees and the workforce.

"We decided to add the media boards and ... software into our markets because we wanted to promote our specials we run in the market each week to our customers," Sheehan Vending's Patrick Sheehan said in the announcement. "Instead of printing out signs for each market every week that no one would really look at we decided we wanted to go digital. It falls right in line with what the contemporary cafes are all about. It gave our cafes a more contemporary look and saves us time and money printing out and posting signage."

As a part of this new service, Mvix's digital signage systems equipped with large display screens are being installed in these contemporary cafes to display menu information, fun facts, weather and other trivia. "We are delighted to be a part of this new venture," Mvix Director of Business Relations A. Jay said in the announcement. "Sheehan Brothers Vending is a reputed name and an established institution in the vending industry. We are humbled to hear this news."
