Through our exclusive Sweet Robo licence, we are rolling out a limited number of Candy Monster and Balloon Bot machines into high-foot-traffic retail, family entertainment and leisure locations.
About the Opportunity
Vend Brands is a leading-edge supplier of interactive robotic retail machines and the exclusive vending arm of VLA, one of Australia's leading micro-retail leasing companies with direct arrangements across every major centre. Put simply, that pairing is your unfair advantage: best-in-class machines, dropped into best-in-class sites.
People have happily paid a premium for a bit of fun since the very first novelty vending machine, and these days they do not just want the treat, they want the show that comes with it. Enter Vend Brands. Own one of Australia's most eye-catching robotic machines, let it work the crowd while you sleep, and enjoy 24/7 smiles, low overheads, premium sites, a professional install and a setup that is done for you.
Here is something no other vending company in Australia does. We market your machine for you. Vend Brands is the first vending business in the country to treat your machine like the little brand it is, and you can add a marketing package when you buy so we do the heavy lifting. Most vending machines just sit there. Yours will have a fan club.
VLA scouts and secures the high-foot-traffic venue, we deliver your robotic machine, install it, stock it, and switch it on. From there you run the fun with remote monitoring, tap-and-go payments and friendly local support. It is automated, it is eye-catching, and it is built to delight kids (and grown-ups who still act like kids).
Why this works:
• No staff, no fuss. Your machine earns while you sleep
• Tiny footprint (about 1 m² and a standard power point) versus traditional retail, but massive curb appeal
• High-margin novelty treats and toys people happily pay a premium for
• Live sales data in your owner app, and not a single coin to count
• We actually market it for you, which nobody else in Aussie vending does
What's included: (turnkey business)
• High-traffic site sourcing, negotiation and approvals through VLA's master leases
• 12-month warranty and Aussie equipment finance available
Ideal for:
• Investors and entrepreneurs who love scalable, passive-income systems
• Side-hustlers and multi-site operators chasing a bit of momentum
• Retirees after flexible, feel-good, hands-off ownership
• Venues wanting a crowd-pulling, selfie-worthy attraction with zero capital
Marketing support

This can include:
* Local social media campaigns
* Short-form video content
* QR promotions
* Launch campaigns
* Venue-based promotions
* Printable marketing collateral

Rather than treating the machine as a passive box in the corner, our aim is to help each placement operate as a recognisable local attraction.
