Wright Brings 17 Years of Restaurant and Franchise Experience to the Growing San Diego-Based Franchise Company

SAN DIEGO, CA - (Marketwired - Mar 9, 2016) - Fresh Healthy Vending International, Inc. (OTCQB: VEND), the nation's leading healthy vending franchisor, today announced Nik Wright as the company's new Director of Operations, continuing the recent expansion of their corporate team. Wright, a veteran of the restaurant and franchise industry, will oversee logistics and implementation of Fresh Healthy Vending's newest concept, the Reis & Irvy's robot-manned frozen yogurt kiosk.

"Nik's experience with Sopra franchise brands combined with his direct day-to-day responsibility of operating an earlier model of the Robofusion Frozen Yogurt Kiosk makes him the ideal candidate to head up operations for our newest franchise concept, Reis and Irvy's. With extensive technical product knowledge, a background in franchisee relations and a passion for logistics, we couldn't be more pleased having Nik join the team," says Nick Yates, Chairman of FHV

Wright, a graduate of Le Cordon Bleu in culinary arts and restaurant management, brings extensive industry experience and a solid understanding of premiere brand operations. He previously held positions as the Regional General Manager for Desert Island Restaurants and most recently, as President of Food and Beverage for Sopra Franchise Brands, where Nik helped launch an international frozen yogurt chain and was directly responsible for the development of operational best practices for a franchise network that spanned from Oklahoma to Dubai.

"There is nothing quite like the experience of watching a new concept develop into a living and breathing business," says Wright. "The look on a franchisees face when they are handed the keys to their new business is truly a magical experience for me. It's why I love what I do."

Fresh Healthy Vending International anticipates an upcoming name change and will officially launch its second franchise concept in April 2016. Wright's hiring also continues a major expansion to Fresh Healthy Vending's corporate team. The San Diego company recently announced both the acquisition of Paul Schmidt as Chief Marketing Officer and Craig Stein as Director of Business Development.
