Black Tie Services Lands Baltimore Healthy Vending Contract

BALTIMORE -- Black Tie Services and the Baltimore City Health Department announced in late October the launch of healthy vending standards in city buildings.

Black Tie won the citywide vending contract to implement the new standards, which include 50% of all items to be "better-for-you" in machines in all city buildings. The Baltimore-based vending operation will install its "Goodness Inside" machines to promote the availability of more wholesome offerings.

Black Tie president Scott Meskin said he is "excited to have the opportunity to provide healthier vending selections to his hometown Charm City."

Founded 26 years ago, Black Tie is one of the largest independent refreshment services companies in the mid-Atlantic region.
