My name is Jeremy Pauley I am a 35-year-old quadriplegic that started the business Vend ADA Ohio as I wanted to make a difference after attempting to use a vending machine that was not accessible to people in wheelchairs. We are a company focused on buying and placing vending machines in public locations so others facing living a life with disabilities can live that life with the same accessiblity opportunities as every other person on Earth. The global retail vending machine market, valued at USD 51.91 billion in 2021, is poised for remarkable growth of 10.7% from 2024 to 2030. The surge is fueled by the increasing demand for on-the-go snacks and beverages, catering to the fast-paced lifestyles of consumers. In the United States, 100 million people use vending machines every day. Considering there are 7 million vending machines in the country, the average vending machine gets about 14 patrons daily. Of those 14 patrons per machine daily, if anyone living with a disability can use one of the machines we've placed through us expanding and growing accessible vending I'm that much closer to creating a world where people are able to live barrier-free as the disabled community deserves to live in a more accessible world that allows people their independence. If you would like to contact me about investing or placing a fully accessible vending machine at your location please reach out via email jpauley@developmentalassist.org or by phone at 740-248-3545.
