The November location contracts secured by Fresh Healthy Vending in Connecticut, Texas, Florida, California, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Georgia and Indiana will be home to Fresh Healthy Vending machines, owned and maintained by franchisees in their respective territories.

"November was our best month in sales for 2013 and tells us that Fresh Healthy Vending is charging into 2014 stronger than ever before," said Kennedy.
