About VendAmerica

A turnkey vending company built on three decades in the industry.
We set up vending routes for first-time owners and bring modern refreshment programs to workplaces.
Who We Are

Built by people who know vending

VendAmerica serves both sides of the vending equation: vending route owners and workplaces.

For first-time vending business owners, we find and secure locations, deliver and install brand-new machines, train them in person, then hand the business over to keep.

For workplaces, we bring in modern coolers stocked and serviced at no cost so teams get a real perk and companies get better break rooms with nothing to manage.

Who runs VendAmerica?

Jason came up in the vending industry at Advantage Refreshments, where he served as President, and was named a 2024 Automatic Merchandiser Pros to Know honoree. David Juris has been finding and securing high traffic vending locations for 15+ years. VendAmerica is a BBB Accredited Business with verified customer reviews on Trustpilot.

Is VendAmerica legit?

Yes. VendAmerica is a BBB Accredited Business based in Denver, Colorado and serving customers nationwide, with verified customer reviews on Trustpilot and founders who have spent their careers in the vending industry.

Is VendAmerica a franchise or a business opportunity?

VendAmerica is a business opportunity, not a franchise. You pay no franchise fees, no royalties, and no ongoing commissions, and you run your business however you choose. We provide the setup and support; you own and operate the route.

Our Story

It started in 1994

VendAmerica is a new company with a long history behind it, starting with Advantage Refreshments.

1994

Jason Joyner’s family vending business, Advantage Refreshments, is started and built one location at a time across the Southeast.

2016

Gary Joyner, Jason Joyner’s father, is named an Automatic Merchandiser “Pros to Know” honoree.

2024

Gary Joyner receives the Legend in Vending Award.

Jason Joyner is named a “2024 Automatic Merchandiser Pros to Know” honoree.

The Advantage Refreshments team earns a “Team to Know” award.

That recognition came from decades inside the trade: stocking the machines, working the routes, and learning what actually makes a vending business succeed.

2025

VendAmerica is started as a continuation of Advantage Refreshments, bringing three decades of operating experience to modern vending: brand-new AI-powered vending machines, a team dedicated to securing the best high-traffic locations, and a business you own outright with no franchise fees and no royalties.

What We Believe

A few things we won't bend on

Location comes first.

The hardest, most important part of vending is putting a machine somewhere that actually sells. We do that work up front, and an operator approves a real, named location before they ever pay.

You should own what you build.

No franchise fees, no royalties, nobody taking a cut of what you earn or telling you how to run it. We help you stand the business up, then it’s yours.

Brand-new, never refurbished.

The equipment we place is new, modern, and built for how people actually buy today.

The person who shows up should care.

Workplaces get a local owner-operator with real skin in the game, backed by the company, not an hourly driver who stocks and leaves.
