Michigan Congressman Dave Trott Visits 365 Retail Markets

TROY, MI -- Michigan Congressman Dave Trott (R-11th Dist.) paid a visit to 365 Retail Markets at its headquarters here on March 29. Trott met with 365 Retail Markets chief executive Joseph Hessling, NAMA government affairs committee chair Jeff Smith, All Star Services (Port Huron, MI), and NAMA senior vice-president of government affairs Eric Dell. He participated in a briefing and tour to meet the micromarket company's employees and obtained a first-hand view of their operations and the vending industry.

"The visit to 365 Retail Markets confirmed my belief that hardworking business people continue to strengthen our economy and workforce by expanding opportunity and creating jobs," Trott said. "I applaud Joe and his staff on their entrepreneurial spirit and their support of the competitive, free enterprise system."

The meeting was a result of a relationship NAMA created with the congressman during its 2015 DC Fly-In. During the visit, the congressman addressed a variety of questions and expressed interest in meeting with industry leaders and his constituents once again during the vending association's upcoming Fly-In in the nation's capital in July.
