Northwest Indiana Vending Machines, Micro Markets & Office Coffee — Operated by Our Team Since 2003

For sites that meet the headcount or foot-traffic threshold, yes. There is no installation fee, no monthly equipment rental, and no charge for product loss or routine service. We earn through product sales — the people who buy a snack or drink fund the program.

The thresholds: roughly 50+ employees or steady foot traffic for a vending program, 100+ for a micro market. Below those, the route economics don’t work for a no-cost setup, but we can still discuss subsidized or pay-the-operator arrangements.

50+ employees or comparable foot traffic for free full-service vending. 100+ for a self-checkout micro market. Office coffee generally bundles in alongside vending or markets at the same site — standalone office coffee can work at smaller headcounts.

Ice cream programs work for community centers, ice rinks, fieldhouses, healthcare lounges, and similar high-traffic public-facing facilities — thresholds depend on traffic, not headcount.

Likely yes if you’re in Northwest Indiana — Hammond, Gary, Munster, East Chicago, Crown Point, Schererville, Merrillville, Portage, Valparaiso, La Porte, Michigan City, and the surrounding I-80/94 belt. Our Indiana route is run as a Chicagoland extension from the Posen IL hub.

Indianapolis-metro, the Michiana corridor (South Bend / Elkhart), and southern Indiana fall outside our route. We don’t take accounts we can’t service — if you’re outside the NW Indiana footprint we’ll say so plainly when you apply.

Yes. If your site already has vending machines or a market from a previous operator, our team handles the swap-out as part of the install — we coordinate with the outgoing provider, remove the old equipment, and install ours in the same footprint. There’s no separate removal fee on either side.

For micro market conversions or coffee-program transitions, we follow the same one-day cutover approach when the site allows.

Yes — this is one of the more common requests we get from Indiana HR, wellness, and facilities buyers. We carry healthier categories alongside traditional favorites, and we tag items by dietary attribute (lower-sodium, gluten-free, vegan, allergy-aware) so users can filter at a glance.

For school accounts we align with USDA Smart Snacks standards. For workplace wellness programs, we can build a 70/30 traditional-to-healthier split or further toward healthier on request — whatever the team will actually buy.

Our office, directly. There is no national call center, no third-party dispatcher, and no broker layer. Billing comes from Bottoms Up Vending. Service calls go to a team that knows your account by name. The drivers stocking your machines work for us, not a sub-contractor.

This is the part that surprises new accounts the most — and it’s the same reason most of our Indiana business comes from word-of-mouth referrals from facilities and HR managers who have worked with us for years.

Yes. Our broader route covers Illinois from Chicagoland down through central IL, and Southern Wisconsin across the Milwaukee–Kenosha I-94 corridor and up through the Fox Valley. If your operation has sites in NW Indiana plus IL or WI, one operator can run all of them — one invoice, one point of contact, one program standard.
