CORONA, Calif., Oct. 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- AVT, Inc. (OTC
Markets: AVTC) (www.autoretail.com), a leader in automated
retailing systems, self service kiosks, and custom vending
machines, announced today that company founder and chairman,
Shannon Illingworth, was interviewed
on TheStreet.com.
The interview focused on why the Automated Retailing industry
continues to grow. "Businesses are seeking more touch points while
customers are demanding immediate gratification and this is leading
to increased demand for kiosks," Gregg
Greenberg, Senior Reporter for TheStreet wrote.
"We've done something special," Illingworth said. "We merged the
kiosk with the vending machine to create a more consumer friendly
experience."
The U.S. Vending Market is estimated to be worth over
$19.31 billion, according to the
Automatic Merchandiser/VendingMarketWatch State of the Vending
Industry Report.
"This is an expanding category, which touches us all," Greenberg
noted.
When asked about the future of automated retailing, Illingworth
pointed to the Opticwash system, which is earning awards and
accolades around the world for its innovation. As reported by
KioskMarketplace, an Opticwash system was recently placed in a key
location at the Venetian Hotel in Las
Vegas.
"Consumers are demanding more product offerings and more
convenience," Illingworth said. "Businesses are now trying to fill
that need."
