CORONA, Calif., May 7, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- AVT, Inc. (OTC
Markets: AVTC) (www.autoretail.com), a leader in custom kiosks,
vending machines, and automated retailing units, commented today on
an article in Self Service World Magazine, titled Reinventing the
Vending Machine.
The publication said that the last few years have seen a variety
of creative systems entering the market, selling products such as
cupcakes, gourmet coffee, organic food, pizzas, and burritos.
Innovation is the common thread in these next generation vending
systems.
The publication highlighted Farmer's Fridge vending machines,
which have an enclosure made of reclaimed barn wood, and are
equipped with touchscreens and card readers.
"Farmer's Fridge is designed to break the mold on fast food,"
Luke Saunders, company founder, told

offer healthy, fast casual dining, which just happens to be in a
vending machine."
Saunders said that the company is currently looking into
franchising, and has had interest from many markets, including
Canada.
The publication said that new technologies such as mobile
payments, social media, and touchscreen interactivity are
reinventing the user-interface possibilities for vending machines,
taking the next-generation of machines to new heights of branding,
advertising, and consumer engagement.
"AVT is leading the drive toward the next generation machine,"
said Shannon Illingworth, Founder
and Chairman of AVT, Inc. "We develop machines that take branding

and design elements in the world," he added. "Plus, our patented
