Carts Blanche: Adding Wheels to Vending!

All over the world, business owners are always in the search for new business ideas and ways to deliver customized products to consumers. On top of this, small business owners are looking to expand their retail presence in a new way. Mobile retail is an excellent option for small businesses. Carts Blanche, the designer of the revolutionary VendaCarts is innovating in this space with its 24/7 mobile automated retail stores.

Carts Blanches was established in 1995 by Annette Antoine Nolan as a company that designed and manufactured pushcarts and kiosks. But the company pivoted as it saw the opportunity in the mobile automated retail space. Since its first international sale in 2012, Carts Blanche’s innovation has been widely well-received. We interviewed Annette to know more about how Carts Blanche became a leader in mobile automated retail. Here are the excerpts:

What is VendaCarts?

Carts Blanche, LLC designs “VendaCarts,” and it is the first company to market 24/7/365 mobile automated retail stores. We combine the fast-turn, high-volume world of automated retail with mobile real-estate offering unlimited venue versatility at thousands of outdoor specialty events, work sites, construction sites, disaster relief areas, military installations, neighborhoods, food deserts, rural areas and more with increased sales and increased profit margins.

Our VendaCarts automated trailers offer unlimited opportunities for maximizing sales, elevating revenue, and moving automated retail into new venues with an untapped reservoir of customers and sales. VendaCarts out-performs the traditional food  trailers in the marketplace by offering high volume retailers a wider selection of products, multiple self-serve channels of sales, and a reduction in employee costs. The VendaCarts business model is designed as a plug-n-play system offering the opportunity to reconfigure your trailer depending on location and customers served.
