Micro markets are ideal for busy areas like universities, hospitals, and hotels. They require minimal space, cater to small crowds, use smart technology for convenient shopping, and with proper security, can expand to public places like airports.

When it comes to your next location, should you install a micro market or a vending machine? Here’s how to decide.
Adding more micro markets is the next step to scaling your business. Learn how to schedule routes, take inventory, and maximise profit.
Micro markets are small, self-service stores found in places like offices. They offer a variety of food and drink options, including fresh choices. They are cost-effective for businesses and provide customers with quick and easy access to meals and snacks.
Opening a micro market business is smart because it costs less, offers more products than vending machines, and can be open all day. They’re easy to set up, fit in many places, and follow trends with contactless shopping and loyalty programs.
