Invig Consulting, a company that specializes in helping convenience stores adopt new technologies, has initiated a partnership with PizzaForno, a North American company known for its automated pizza vending machines. The partnership aims to bring PizzaForno's vending machines to convenience stores across the West Coast of the United States, according to a press release.

PizzaForno's vending machines bake pizzas in less than five minutes and offer a variety of pizza options. The company has already established a presence in several states, including California, Utah, Delaware, New York, Florida and Maryland.

Invig Consulting believes that PizzaForno's vending machines will be a hit with convenience store owners and customers alike. The machines will allow store owners to offer a new product to their customers without having to pay for the extra training, labor and materials that would come with running a pizza-making operation within their store.

"We're super excited to bring these incredible machines to store owners across California and the entire west coast," Bassem Nowyhed, CEO of Invig Consulting, said in the release.

PizzaForno is also excited about the partnership. The company believes that Invig Consulting's connections in the convenience store industry will help them to expand their reach and make their vending machines an essential part of the convenience store experience.

"Our 24/7 automatic machines embody everything customers seek in a convenience store appliance," Travis Musser, master licensee for PizzaForno Southern California and Washington, said in the release. "With how connected Invig Consulting is to the convenience store industry, we're confident that our vending machines will become available to more stores and eventually become an essential component for the convenience store experience."
