LOS ANGELES, June 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- AVT, Inc. (OTC Markets: AVTC) (www.autoretail.com), a leading manufacturer of automated retailing systems, announced today that their customer, Pharmabox, has introduced the world's 1st automated drugstore. The unique self-service kiosk carries over 140 top selling brand name items typically found in a local pharmacy, Target, CVS, Walgreen's or Rite Aid-type store.

As published in the South Florida Business Journal, Miami-based Pharmabox worked with AVT to develop a uniquely designed vending machine that features all the latest technologies, including cashless payment systems, interactive screens that display complete product information, and wireless backend management systems. The company calls their system, "A Pharmacy at Your Fingertips."

According to Wayne Salvino, President of AVT, Inc., there are many opportunities for entrepreneurs within the automated retailing industry. "There has never been a better time for creative-thinking entrepreneurs to start a new business using an automated store distribution model," Salvino commented. "Virtually anything that can be imagined can be modeled into a fully automated system that can generate sales 24-hours a day."

The Consumer Healthcare Products Association (CHPA), states that U.S. consumers make 26 trips a year to purchase OTC medicines. "That's a terrific number of repeat customers, making this a great business model," Salvino noted.

Pharmabox plans to deploy the innovative units in high-traffic locations throughout the nation, including airports, hotels, business centers, transportation hubs, apartment complexes, college campuses and dormitories, fitness centers, hospitals, sports stadiums, and retail stores.

Salvino said he looks forward to sharing in Pharmabox's success. "At AVT, one of our key specialties is in taking an idea, applying our expertise, and making an entrepreneur's dream come true."
