OCEANSIDE, NY -- When Chasing News' Tara Jakeway needed to learn more about gumball machines, she turned to bulk vending's champion, Frank Parisi, who was interviewed at his office here.
Parisi, who operates Parisi Vending Co. Inc. and markets the All American Chicken Machine, gave the reporter a quick history of bulk vending and discussed some of the challenges the industry confronts today. The news segment was inspired by a story about a four-year-old boy who petitioned a grocery store to bring back a gumball machine. | SEE STORY
