AVT, Inc. (OTC Markets: AVTC) (www.autoretail.com), a leader in custom vending machines, business opportunities, and kiosks, commented today on a research report that predicted over 35,000 Micromarket locations within the decade.
The study, written by noted market research company Bachtelle and Associates, and published in Vending Times Magazine, said that this is a "new channel" and is "driving more sales, pleasing customers and exciting our industry."
"We predict that there will be 13,000 Micromarkets on location by 2015, and 35,000 within a decade," Brad Bachtelle stated.
AVT is a leader in Micromarket design and development. From their unique UShop systems, to the Marley Automated Cafes, AVT is known worldwide as one of the leading innovators in automated retailing, including self-service systems, microstores, and custom machines.
"The micromarket is not an extension of vending: it's new and different," Bachtelle pointed out. "Vending is a 'buy' system, while a micromarket operation is a 'sell' system," Bachtelle observed. "We are a retail channel."
Joanne Bethlahmy, director of Cisco Consulting Services' Internet Business Solutions Group said that the marketplace is changing – affected by urbanization and substantial movement out of the suburbs with their spacious malls, and back to the city, as reported by Vending Times.
'We think this could be a $7 billion opportunity in the United States," she predicted. According to Bachtelle, this independent evaluation from Cisco, which is not in the vending industry, validates his findings. "There's a huge opportunity here," he said. "Micromarkets are taking us to tomorrow."
"We invite people to call us to learn more about this exciting industry and find out how to participate in this phenomenal market expansion," stated James Winsor, CEO of AVT, Inc.

When it happens and when Robby the Robot serves you a Big Mac... blame the unions and the street urchin communists for raising the minimum wage so high that it required this technological move to eliminate the festering socialist and greed consumed human interface.
Interesting...
Nobody pushes unadulterated BS like the folks in marketing.
Nobody except the folks in government.
What is this "substantial movement out of the suburbs" of which they speak?
Ha ha—true.
A vending machine is a vending machine. (Hint: the meaning of ‘vend’ is to sell)
But the more successfully Obama fights income inequality with a ‘living wage’, the greater the market for vending machines.
Wow - you have to wonder. What planet is that move back to the city taking place on? To the best of my current information, most major American cities are either stagnant or falling in population (Detroit and Chicago come to mind).
No, no, no. You don’t understand. The “move back to the city” is what the liberals hope to force upon us with restrictive zoning, eco-barricading (making land off-limits in the interest of the snail-darter, for instance), and similar policies. The fact that few people really WANT to live in densely populated urban areas doesn’t matter to “our masters”.
Maybe they’re thinking about the housing oversupply. However, that was triggered by speculation and easy credit rather than by people leaving the suburbs for the cities. Even when a family’s sole residence is foreclosed, they’re much more likely to move to an apartment or a rental house than to a city residence, in most cases. People will do a lot to avoid changing school systems, for one thing.
I read a comment recently that said some of the most successful real estate investment firms are investing in trailer parks, now. Doesn’t sound like a “movement out of the suburbs,” unless someone’s putting trailer parks in the ruined areas of Detroit or D.C.
Robby the Robot will always put the condiments on the burger in the center, not slopping over the edge like so many of today's burger preparers do.
I believe the video said this kiosk sells 56 different items. Would like to see a list of those items. I suspect that they are not aimed at someone my age (61)
This is why it is vital that Tea Party candidates need to embrace the idea of returning federal takings of land from the states back to the states. Just about every president since T. Roosevelt has engaged in land takings, and the momentum needs to be reversed.
There is a good possibility that the next POTUS will be a Republican, hopefully conservative, with a Republican congress. If they are intent on returning this land, it will pull the rug out from not just the bureaucrats, but also the Agenda 21 crowd.
Utique machines.
I have seen similar, smaller, units at the airports
I have not seen that model, the lady in the little black dress
You can buy most anything in Japan from a vending machine. Or even a microstore.
He certainly will! No chance that he will spit on your food either.
