SAN DIEGO, CA--(NewMediaWire - May 9, 2016) - Fresh Healthy
Vending International (OTCQB: VEND) recently announced the launch and
positioning of its newest franchise brand concept, the Reis and
Irvy's Froyo Kiosk. A fully-automated, fully-contained frozen
yogurt vending machine that utilizes patented robotic technology
and customer interaction to deliver delicious frozen yogurt
creations at the point of purchase. With the ability to be placed
almost anywhere consumers are present, this announcement began a
buzz of excitement and anticipation across the industry for what
could be a game-changing concept to the future of vending and
direct-to-consumer customized product delivery.
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 cash in addition to all major debit and
credit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Wallet.
The exclusivity and adaptability of this amazing product comes
at a time when the industry itself is seeing new trends emerge in
the demands of on-the-go consumers and the vending world as a
whole. Moving past the standard pay-for-product machines of the
past, companies are now looking ahead and focusing on units that
can customize, deliver and prepare items based on customer
interaction, not simply distribute a shelf-life product. In fact
Reis and Irvy's was recently recognized as a prime example of a
future trend within the vending industry in an April 22ndarticle
in Forbes Magazine.
"We truly feel we are paving the way for the frozen yogurt
industry to evolve into the future," said Nick Yates, chairman of
Reis and Irvy's. "For years, the froyo industry suffered at the
hands of high retail, high overhead and the messy do-it-yourself
concepts that muddled the playing field. Not only do we feel we are
now doing frozen yogurt right, but our innovation and technology
has allowed us to execute it in a way that meets the needs of
consumers while redefining the vending experience."
Reis and Irvy's Froyo Kiosk franchises are now available for
pre-sale in 37 approved states across the U.S. with Canada on the
horizon. 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 $2,500) and expands into a full time package
that includes eight Froyo Kiosks at $280,000. Franchisees also have
the opportunity to secure their own locations which allows them a
discount of $2,500 per unit. 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, national service network,
franchise training and complete turnkey support.
