FRESH HEALTHY VENDING INTERNATIONAL LAUNCHES REIS & IRVY’S ROBOTIC FRO-YO KIOSK FRANCHISE

SAN DIEGO (April 12, 2016) – Fresh Healthy Vending International, Inc. (OTCQB: VEND), the nation’s leading healthy vending franchisor, today launched its Reis & Irvy’s franchise of first-of-its-kind interactive, robotic frozen yogurt kiosks. Now available for franchise pre-orders, Reis & Irvy’s kiosks signal a radical shift in the frozen yogurt industry, away from messy, high-maintenance self-serve stations and into a revolutionary, automated design that delights consumers and requires just minutes of manual upkeep per day.

The Reis & Irvy’s “FroYo Kiosk” is the first fully-automated frozen yogurt robot to the market. The automated kiosk is fully enclosed, eliminating the possibility of spillage and drastically improving food safety conditions. The Froyo Kiosk serves up nine flavors and a choice of six delicious toppings, allowing dozens of possible combinations, and its interactive, robotic design makes it a visual spectacle for consumers of all ages. The touch screen ordering process accepts all major debit and credit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Wallet.

“The Reis & Irvy’s FroYo kiosk is a trailblazer in the frozen yogurt space, offering a unique, exclusive proposition for franchisees as the first to market with this innovative concept,” said Nick Yates, chairman of Fresh Healthy Vending International. “It’s a low-cost, low-floor-space, high-profit-margin opportunity, and its interactive, robotic design really draws a crowd wherever it’s placed. We’ll use the relationships and experience we’ve built over the last five years with FHV to launch what we believe is the future of frozen yogurt.”

That future, which appears very bright, also comes with many options available to potential franchisees and structured within a franchise model that is built on historic success. Operators will be offered different tiers of packages and with both part time and full time investment options. The minimum part time package will include four Froyo Kiosks for an investment of $140,000 (each unit comes with a pricetag of $32,500 and a per unit franchise fee of $2500) and expands into a full time package that includes eight Froyo Kiosks at $280,000. Franchisees are then fully-supported from start to finish by the corporate team at Reis and Irvy’s, who provide all operators with premiere location procurement services, local and national marketing initiatives, franchise training and complete turnkey support.

“Our support and resources are available to all our future operators well beyond their initial investment and include a number of key initiatives” says TJ Rogers, Director of Franchising for Fresh Healthy Vending and Reis and Irvy’s. “We take the time to procure premiere locations in which these kiosks will thrive and generate an unmatched consumer experience. For example malls, quick serve restaurants, hospitals, theme parks, movie theaters, supermarkets, practically anywhere there are captive consumers. We then continue to support that experience and our franchisee with both national and local marketing efforts. Thereby helping the success of our operators as well as the success of our brand.”
