History
[edit]Vending Times was founded in 1961[1] to serve the coin-op industry. It broadened its scope to encompass full-line vending, soft-drink bottling, and operators of street cigarette, candy and jukebox routes.[1] It continued to broaden its scope, including bulk vending, office coffee service, and mobile catering. Circa 1971, Vending Times acquired Vend, a publication launched in 1946. Today, the magazine has more than 16,000 subscribers. The magazine's average page count is about 150 pages.
