The "HUMAN" in the company's name is an acronym that stands for "Helping Unite Mankind And Nutrition".[2] HUMAN distributes healthy foods via healthy vending machines, healthy "micro"markets', and direct-to-business/consumer snack delivery services. HUMAN Healthy Vending also operates HUMAN Everywhere, a non-profit to which it donates 10% of its corporate profits.[3] HistoryHUMAN Healthy Vending was founded in 2008 by CEO Sean Kelly and Andrew Mackensen.[4] Kelly had previously founded FitFuel, a healthy vending machine supply and later fitness e-commerce company.[5] In early 2011, around 500 healthy vending machines were installed in various cities across the United States for a total of over 70 markets.[6] By 2012, HUMAN Healthy Vending had over 1,500 vending machines distributed across the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico.[7] In late 2013, Healthy Vending was ranked number 7 in the Los Angeles Business Journal's list of fastest-growing companies in Los Angeles.[8] In early 2014, HUMAN was ranked as the world’s fastest-growing vending franchise by Entrepreneur Magazine.[9] Vending machinesHUMAN Healthy Vending machines dispense health foods such as granola bars, protein bars and shakes, trail mix, juices, milk, and premium waters.[6] HUMAN's healthy vending machines incorporate high-tech vending technology. Machines are refrigerated to allow for a broad range of products, and have credit and debit card readers. They are also 30-50 percent more energy efficient than traditional vending machines. Most of the vending machines are also equipped with built-in 23-inch LCD television screens to display nutritional information and in some cases advertising.[6] All of the lights on the machines are LEDs, and conveyor belts are used instead of coils.[5] In early 2012, HUMAN was the first the vending industry to launch vending machines that dispense hot foods, cold drinks, and snacks simultaneously. These vending machines are coined "Hot HUMAN".[6] In 2013, HUMAN launched a new type of automated retail concept called "Healthy Markets" which is based on the vending industry's micromarket concept. Micromarkets are unmanned mini-convenience stores with self-checkout kiosks.[10][11] Business segmentsHUMAN Healthy Vending and its franchisees operate in various business segments, both private and public. Machines operate in various sectors: business and industry, government, education, healthcare, and leisure. Healthy Vending machines can also be found in railway stations and trains, underground stations, gas stations, airports, recreation centers,[12] and shopping centers. For example, Healthy Vending has contracts with organizations including the National Joint Powers Alliance[13] and YMCA of the USA.[14] In schoolsSchools that replace traditional vending machines with Healthy Vending machines see higher sales 90% of the time. For locations with both a traditional and healthy vending machine, this is reduced to a 50% chance that the healthy machine will generate more revenue.[6] AwardsHUMAN Healthy Vending was certified as a B Corporation in December 2012.[1] HUMAN Healthy Vending was ranked #37 on Forbes' first annual "America's Most Promising Companies" list in 2011[15] and ranked #44 on its 2013 list.[16] It was also ranked by Entrepreneur Magazine as a "Top 100 Brilliant Company" in 2011.[5] It was also ranked #168 on the 2013 Inc. 5000[17] as the number one vending company.[18] CEO Sean Kelly was listed in Forbes' 2012 list of "30 Under 30"[19] as well as in Mother Nature Network's "Innovation Generation" in the same year.[6] References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.bcorporation.net/community/human-healthy-vending|title=HUMAN Healthy Vending|date=December 2012|work=Certified B Corporation|publisher=B Lab|accessdate=22 July 2013|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130723220732/http://www.bcorporation.net/community/human-healthy-vending|archivedate=23 July 2013|df=}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.healthyvending.com/aboutus/|title=About HUMAN Healthy Vending|publisher=HUMAN Healthy Vending|accessdate=22 July 2013}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.healthyvending.com/human-everywhere/|title=All About Our Charity: HUMAN Everywhere|publisher=HUMAN Healthy Vending|accessdate=22 July 2013}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.healthyvending.com/meet-the-team/|title=Meet the Founders|publisher=HUMAN Healthy Vending|accessdate=22 July 2013}} 5. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=http://www.entrepreneur.com/article/219671|title=How H.U.M.A.N.
