EAT TO THE BEAT: Making its debut in Denver's new Mission Ballroom music venue is this Mini-Mart, installed by Choice Markets. It features smart shelves stocked with fresh snack and food items. Two of the machines are now in service at the Mission Ballroom.

DENVER, CO -- Choice Market, a small-format grocery and restaurant, reports that it has just opened its first two Mini-Marts in the Mission Ballroom, Denver's newest music venue.

Each vending machine is kept at optimum serving temperature and stocked with fresh, local snacks, fruit, sandwiches, salads, jerky and more. Prices range from $3 to $6 for snacks and drinks and $7 to $11 for meals.

Always striving for convenience, Choice has equipped the vending machines with state-of-the-art, user-friendly technology to track purchases. Patrons simply walk up to a Choice Mini-Mart and scan their credit cards to unlock the door to choose from a variety of options to enjoy while watching their favorite bands play.

This convenience is backed up by Choice's selection of fresh, local, environmentally friendly products made with "better-for-you" ingredients. Choice works with local farmers to source a majority of its ingredients and products, including organic produce and antibiotic-free and nitrate-free proteins.

"Choice Mini-Mart is a natural extension of our omnichannel strategy and fully aligns with our mission to make good food accessible and convenient," said Choice Market founder and chief executive Mike Fogarty. "These vending machines are a perfect fit for airports, hospitals, breweries, offices and other institutions that are looking to provide their time-constrained customers and employees with fresh and delicious food."

A full service, fully-scratch kitchen supports Choice Market's premium foodservices. Choice's experienced, classically trained chefs work to develop seasonal menus and offer elevated food "on the go," that are both healthy and delicious.

Mike Fogarty, who founded Choice Market in 2017, describes the concept as a new kind of convenience store that combines quick service and user-friendly technology with fresh quality food from local vendors and a practical product selection of 100% organic produce, groceries, fresh meals and everyday necessities

Choice gives back to the community through its daily practices, employee programs and involvement with local charities. Choice is located at 1770 N. Broadway in Denver with a second location coming soon to the new Denver Housing Authority headquarters.

Mission Ballroom, operated by AEG Presents, is a premiere 60,000-sq.ft. concert facility that also serves as a unique special event space. It's located at 4242 Wynkoop St. in the RiNo District.
