A pub in Derbyshire has installed a terrific vending machine to replace the small village shop that closed after about 100 years of trading. The machine stocks around 80 essential products ranging from milk to eggs, toilet rolls, tea, and cereals and so on.
Congratulations to Peter Fox, MD of Village Vending who has created the vending machine and now plans to roll them out in village pubs across the UK.
This seems to me to be a solution for those pubs that are not able physically to create a shop within their premises (as initiated by the brilliant 'Pub is the Hub' team) or is unable to staff such a shop. Plus, it's sure to bring new customers, profit, a meeting place and village cohesion?
