SAN DIEGO, CA--(NewMediaWire - Apr 12, 2016) - Fresh
Healthy Vending International, Inc. (OTCQB: VEND), the nation's leading healthy vending
franchisor, today launched its Reis & Irvy's franchise of
first-of-its-kind interactive, robotic frozen yogurt kiosks. Now
available for franchise pre-orders, Reis & Irvy's kiosks signal
a radical shift in the frozen yogurt industry, away from messy,
high-maintenance self-serve stations and into a revolutionary,
automated design that delights consumers and requires just minutes
of manual upkeep per day.
The Reis & Irvy's "FroYo Kiosk" is the first fully-automated
frozen yogurt robot to the market. The automated kiosk is fully
enclosed, eliminating the possibility of spillage and drastically
improving food safety conditions. The Froyo Kiosk serves up nine
flavors and a choice of six delicious toppings, allowing dozens of
possible combinations, and its interactive, robotic design makes it
a visual spectacle for consumers of all ages. The touch screen
ordering process accepts all major debit and credit cards, Apple
Pay, and Google Wallet.
"The Reis & Irvy's FroYo kiosk is a trailblazer in the
frozen yogurt space, offering a unique, exclusive proposition for
franchisees as the first to market with this innovative concept,"
said Nick Yates, chairman of Fresh Healthy Vending International.
"It's a low-cost, low-floor-space, high-profit-margin opportunity,
and its interactive, robotic design really draws a crowd wherever
it's placed. We'll use the relationships and experience we've built
over the last five years with FHV to launch what we believe is the
future of frozen yogurt."
That future, which appears very bright, also comes with many
options available to potential franchisees and structured within a
franchise model that is built on historic success. Operators will
be offered different tiers of packages and with both part time and
full time investment options. The minimum part time package will
include four Froyo Kiosks for an investment of $140,000 (each unit
comes with a pricetag of $32,500 and a per unit franchise fee of
$2500) and expands into a full time package that includes eight
Froyo Kiosks at $280,000. Franchisees are then fully-supported from
start to finish by the corporate team at Reis and Irvy's, who
provide all operators with premiere location procurement services,
local and national marketing initiatives, franchise training and
complete turnkey support.
"Our support and resources are available to all our future
operators well beyond their initial investment and include a number
of key initiatives," says TJ Rogers, Director of Franchising for
Fresh Healthy Vending and Reis and Irvy's. "We take the time to
procure premiere locations in which these kiosks will thrive and
generate an unmatched consumer experience. For example malls, quick
serve restaurants, hospitals, theme parks, movie theaters,
supermarkets, practically anywhere there are captive consumers. We
then continue to support that experience and our franchisee with
both national and local marketing efforts. Thereby helping the
success of our operators as well as the success of our brand."
