The demand for fresh, natural and organic\nproducts is on the rise. With the continued interest in healthy eating, Atlanta\nvending providers and employers have an opportunity to educate consumers about\nthe newest choices in the better-for-you category. Lucille Beseler, president\nof Family Nutrition Center of S. Florida shared \u201cthat people are interested in\nnutrition and listening to the newest product options, which includes what is\navailable in the micro market.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beseler\u2019s statement is supported by an\nincreased demand for healthy snacks. Automatic Merchandiser\u2019s<\/em> annual\nindustry report shows the increase in demand as it found that fresh food and\nbetter-for-you product sales compromised a larger percentage of overall\nmicro-market sales than before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Savory snacks are no longer the only type of\nsnack that might be changed to be considered better-for-you. Sweets, especially\ndark chocolate, are being made with healthier ingredients. A recent report by\nConvenience Store Designs covered the changes in chocolate sales and determined\nthat better-for-you qualities like the benefits of dark chocolate or the\naddition of functional ingredients played an important role in increasing\nsales. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But better-for-you chocolate isn\u2019t the only\nsweet treat that Atlanta consumers are looking for in their break room. The\nsought-after bold and hot flavors currently found in snacks have made their way\nto the candy aisle. In fact, sales of non-chocolate spicy and hot candy\nproducts are increasing at rate of 25% compared to non-chocolate candy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"healthy<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

While the health benefits of snacks, fresh\nfood and beverages are very important to Atlanta consumers, they also want to\nlearn about how eating or drinking a specific product will feel and sound. For\ninstance, is it crunchy, crispy or silky? Are there multiple textures within a\nsingle product? Products that share information about textures have a higher\nchance of being purchased. Combine bold and spicy flavors with touch and sound,\nand you\u2019ll have an experience consumers are looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drawing your Atlanta employees into the micro-market with a combination of healthy, bold and spicy, and textually-intriguing snacks can also result in multiple benefits for both you and your employees. A welcoming space where colleagues can spontaneously gather creates opportunities for creativity. Healthy employees who are also satiated and hydrated are likely to be more productive. And as snacks continue to replace meals during the day, they will continue to be a strong revenue driver. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether it\u2019s time to update your current micro-market<\/a> menu or create a new one from scratch, PB&J Vending would like to help. We will help customize the perfect combination of refreshment options from healthy snacks<\/a>, beverages and fresh food to office coffee service<\/a>.
