VEND-O-TRON Explained

A lot of times, I have businesses who are interested in what we are doing but don't even know where to start as far as understanding the concept or even what we do! I wanted to set up a post so it is easy to see how working with VEND-O-TRON can be a huge step up for your business in Santa Fe.

My name is Artie and I run VEND-O-TRON, a creative vending business based here in Santa Fe. I recently relocated from Austin, where I built the city’s biggest and best creative vending business, with machines for Clorox, VooDoo Donuts, Ranch Rider Spirits, Still Austin Whiskey, Austin Beerworks, and more.

Now that I’m back home in New Mexico, I’d love to bring that same energy to Santa Fe. Our machines aren’t your typical snack-and-soda setup—they feature local art and goods from Native American and generational New Mexican makers, along with vintage and novelty items. They’re customizable to your space and brand, and we can even reserve slots for your merch (Other companies have used theirs for croc charms, pins, and bandanas—and made around $250/month just from that).

Here’s why it works:

• Creates a fun, unexpected customer experience

• Keeps regulars engaged and attracts new traffic

• Supports and showcases local artists (who also promote your venue on their socials)

• No cost to you—we handle all stocking, maintenance, and customer service

I’ve included photos of past machines so you can see how customizable they are. It’s 100% turnkey: your staff doesn’t need to manage anything, and the machine itself becomes a memorable feature of your brewery or bar.
