Micro Markets in Delaware for Workplaces 50+

How a micro market works

We design the space. Open shelving, one or more coolers, and a self-checkout kiosk sized to your breakroom and headcount.
Employees shop like a convenience store. They pick up an item, scan it at the kiosk and pay by card or phone.
We restock and maintain everything. Sales data tells us what's selling and what isn't, so the selection keeps improving.

Why companies switch from vending to a micro market

Much wider selection. A row of vending coils can only hold so many items. Open shelves and coolers fit far more variety, including larger drinks and multi-packs.
Nothing gets stuck. People pick up the actual item, so there are no jammed spirals and no lost dollars.
A breakroom people actually use. A good-looking market reads as an employee perk, which matters when you're competing for staff.
Available around the clock. Second and third shifts get the same options as day shift.
Free to the business. We supply the shelving, coolers, kiosk and smart coolers, and handle stocking and maintenance at no cost to you.

Who qualifies

We focus our micro markets on workplaces with about 50 or more employees or daily users, usually in a secure, staff-only breakroom. That size supports the selection and restocking frequency that makes a market worth having. If you're smaller, vending machines are usually the better fit, and our quote form will point you to the right option.

Typical micro market sites include distribution centers, plants, hospital staff areas, larger offices and some apartment amenity spaces.

Frequently asked questions

What is a micro market?

A micro market is an unattended mini store in a breakroom: open shelves and coolers with a self-checkout kiosk. Employees grab what they want and pay by card or phone.

How many employees do we need for a micro market?

We generally recommend micro markets for workplaces with about 50 or more employees or daily users. Smaller sites are usually better served by vending machines.

Is theft a problem with micro markets?

Micro markets are designed for secure, staff-only spaces. That is one reason we place them in employee breakrooms rather than public lobbies.

Do you install micro markets in Maryland?

Yes. We serve Salisbury, Ocean City and the rest of Wicomico and Worcester counties, along with all of Delaware.
