Why switch

The old machine in the break room had a good run.

Coin slots, jammed spirals and a sticker with a phone number nobody answers. A smart market replaces all of that with something people actually want to use.

The old way

Press the button and hope.

  • Cash or exact change only
  • Snacks stuck mid-drop
  • Empty rows for weeks
  • Nobody to call when it eats your money
With 257 & Co.

Open the door, pick it up, walk away.

  • Tap a card or phone to pay
  • See and hold the product before you buy
  • Stock levels tracked remotely, restocked before rows run empty
  • A local owner you can reach directly
How it works

From first call to first sale in about a month.

We keep the process short because you have other things to run.

  1. Site visit

    We look at the space, the foot traffic and what your people are missing today.

  2. A straight answer

    If it's a fit, you get a plan for placement and product mix. If it isn't, we'll say so.

  3. Install, at no cost

    Typically 3 to 6 weeks after signing. We order your machine, set up payments and stock, then deliver and install it. We confirm your install date as soon as the machine ships.

  4. We run it

    Remote stock tracking, regular restocks and service. Cancel any time with two weeks' notice.

Where we fit

Built for places people spend the day.

We stock long shelf-life snacks and drinks, so a market works anywhere with steady traffic and a spare corner with power.

Offices & workplaces

A break room people use, without anyone on staff managing it.

Apartment communities

A 24/7 amenity for residents, and one more line on the tour.

Gyms & fitness

Drinks and protein snacks where members already are.

Auto dealerships

Something for customers while they wait on service.

Hotels & lobbies

Grab-and-go for guests at any hour.

Warehouses & shops

Fuel for every shift, including nights.

About us

Locally owned. You deal with the owners.

257 & Co. is run by Rob Hawthorn and Sarah McMillan from Westminster, Colorado. We started it because a vending machine should work the first time, and when it doesn't, someone local should fix it.

Every market we place is one we stock and look after ourselves.
