SAN DIEGO, CA--(NewMediaWire - May 31, 2016) - Fresh Healthy
Vending International, Inc. (OTCQB: VEND) -- Reis and Irvy's®, the revolutionary
first-to-market robotic frozen yogurt vending kiosks announced
today that they will partner with Chloe's Soft Serve Fruit Co.™ to
provide prospective franchise operators a healthier option to
provide to both locations and their customers. The robotic Reis and
Irvy's FroYo Kiosks (which currently deliver nine different flavors
of frozen yogurt and up to six toppings in 60 seconds or less) will
now be available to franchisees with the option of being stocked
with a lighter option for customers.
"As we have launched the Reis and Irvy's brand and concept, our
primary focus has been to continue our focus on understanding the
demands of the market," says Art Budman, Chief Executive Officer
for Reis and Irvy's. "While developing a revolutionary new way to
experience customized frozen yogurt, we congruently recognized and
collectively heard the demand from our health-conscious customers.
Chloe's Soft Serve Fruit is the perfect complement to our brand and
will allow us to deliver the Reis and Irvy's experience to even
more locations on behalf of our franchisees."
Founded in 2010, Chloe's Soft Serve has dedicated themselves to
celebrating the wonder and simplicity of fruit. Made from the
simplest of ingredients (fruit, water and a touch of organic cane
sugar) the soft serve fruit snacks deliver big flavor and a return
to the origin of the fruits themselves. Operators will be able to
choose from a variety of low-calorie, low-fat delicious flavors
that not only offer healthier nutritional benefits, but, more
importantly, conform to the Smart Snacks in School guidelines, a
benefit that allows Reis and Irvy's expanded opportunity within
schools, campuses and educational facilities across the
country.
Available in both frozen pop form and soft serve, the latter was
a perfect match for the groundbreaking Reis and Irvy's kiosks.
"Reis and Irvy's brings a customized frozen yogurt experience to
customers everywhere. We are excited to be a part of that
revolution and make frozen snacks more accessible," says Chloe
Epstein, Co-Founder of Chloe's Soft Serve Fruit Co. "Our snacks,
which are free of dairy, gluten, fat, free of all eight major
allergens and are both vegan and kosher, provide customers with an
alternative delicious option delivered by these ground-breaking
machines. It's a win for both of our organizations and our loyal
customers."
Reis and Irvy's robotic frozen yogurt kiosks launched this past
April and to impressive demand from the prospective franchise
community. The frozen yogurt franchise concept is managed by Fresh
Healthy Vending, International (soon to be Generation Next
Franchise Brands); based in San Diego, it is North America's
leading healthy vending franchisor. Fresh Healthy Vending pioneered
the concept of vending machines stocked with tried-and-tested
fresh, healthy snack options and capitalizes on a growing market of
health-conscious consumers. The Company has more than 250 active
franchisees throughout the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico and
the Bahamas, and continually looks to partner with like-minded
entrepreneurs who share its vision. The Company has booked more
than 3000 machines for placement in schools, universities,
hospitals, community centers, military bases, airports, fitness
facilities, YMCAs, libraries and many other locations. Using its
current infrastructure, the franchisor will replicate its franchise
model and apply it to Reis and Irvy's, offering a comprehensive,
turnkey model consisting of kiosk supply, location procurement,
national service infrastructure and best in class franchisee
support.
