Entrepreneur launches PPE vending business

July 10, 2020

PPE vending machines are available at www.maskvending.net, a business launched by entrepreneur Darren Moore at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic. Moore offers coin-operated surgical mask vending machines, as well as a PPE station that vends a variety of masks and hand sanitizer and accepts electronic payments.

"It started with our coin-op MSC-1, a coin-operated machine repurposed from other uses and has evolved to our MSC-2 PPE station which can vend a variety of items including KN95 and cloth masks, as well as hand sanitizer," Moore said in a press release. "How often do we go out and about to enter a grocery, barbershop or other store only to realize you forgot your mask? Maskvending.net was founded to bring readily available, affordable masks every day anywhere they are needed."

Armandi Marshall, a social media influencer and founder of the Vending Bizz Instagram account with over 186,000 followers, has teamed with Moore to encourage entrepreneurs to enter the PPE vending business.

"With both Instagram and my podcasts my mission is to help give people the necessary mindset to succeed in the vending business," Marshall said in the press release.
