Luxury vending units are designed to be visually appealing and adaptable.

Examples of placement strategies in other public spaces can be found in our overview of vending services for public buildings.
The product mix is central to success: premium single-serve snacks, specialty beverages, travel essentials, and tech accessories perform well in retail settings. Rotating seasonal offerings and limited-edition collaborations create urgency and repeat visits. For inspiration on merchandising and healthier options, check the healthy vending guide.
