MMN - March

March is promising to be a great month for our micro markets with lots of new items. As our staff is focusing on getting healthier and making better lifestyle decisions it seemed only fitting that we highlight some of our favorite new snacks. Although we technically started advertising Dasani sparkling last month we purposefully added it March's MMN again: 1. Because I forgot to actually place it in markets in February 2. Because it seems like our supplier REALLY wants to see

Fancy Food Show - Winter 2017

This January Ashley and I went to our second annual Fancy Food Show in SF. Slightly more prepared for the massive show than we were last year, armed with tote bags and sneakers we hit the floor.

Introducing: MMN (Micro Market News)

When I first started at J&J I was hired out of pity more than anything. The plans I had set for after graduation fell through and when I needed an income my parents offered me a gig at J&J. All that to say I was a journalist major fresh out of college, in a vending world where I was supposed to sell. There were no quotas to meet, no hard deadlines, just a general direction to sell. I had no idea what to do but armed with a desire to fill my work day, a belief that I needed so

NEW CK MOBILE APP

At J&J we are sooo excited that CK has launched a mobile app for our customers! On launch days employees always want to know why they should register a CK card instead of just using their credit/debit cards. I didn't always have a convincing argument to sway them but now, with the CK Mobile App, I do! With this app (free from itunes and Google Play) employees can manage their CK account from the convenience of their phone. With the app they can upload money and pay with their

New Peg Items

At J&J one of my jobs is to help decide what items go in the markets. For research I often patrol the snack aisles or places like Target and Whole Foods. Today I am excited to announce the arrival of a new item for us that you too have probably seen at Costco. The new improved line of NatureBox! Although there were lots of flavors to choose from we do have limited space. Here are our four favorites. Why do we love them? 1. They're affordable 2. They're all natural 3. They're

Embracing Imperfection

As I write this post I'm on location of our latest micro market install and a lot of things are running through my head: 1. I wish I had coffee (something that I think about far too often on any given day). 2. I can't believe how far we've come. Some days it feels like no progress has been made but every time we launch a new market I'm reminded of the first market we installed. On the first install we had no idea what we were doing. We didn't know how to install a kiosk or se

May Favorites

Both personally and professionally May was filled with "news" and "firsts," research" and "plans." New accounts, new shelving for existing accounts, first time my parents met my future in-laws, wedding plans, venue research and most excitingly a very tiny, very precious addition to the J&J family. It was busy, it was stressful (I can be a little high strung) but it was fun and at times beautiful. Take a look to see some of my favorites from this month. 1. First and foremost I

Hello to our lovely micro market customers! We are slowly but surely bringing in new items that we loved from the Expo West show!
