ARN: ‘We’re going to do cups like we’ve never done cups before.’

ARN: All the goss, from Gordon

Hello again

I’ve just searched through the HUGE archive of ARN stories on Planet Vending to find out how many times, over the years, we’ve focused our articles on cups. The result came as something of a shock, because it was ‘never’; which is weird, because from our perspective, cups have always been a key part of our business.

I was planning to zero-in on cups this month even before I realised we’d never been there before because I have an imoprtant heads-up for you…

As you know, the paper cups market has the jitters just now. No names, no packdrill. We’re also aware that a growing number of our customers have jitters of their own. They’re primarily worried about supply chain issues. So we’re doing something about it, something that will return some stabiity to the marketplace.

We’re going to do cups like we’ve never done cups before.

To accommodate our new approach to cups – literally – we’ve built a brand-new warehouse and every one of its 30,000 square feet is dedicated to cups.  Let me remind you that we’ve got a solid range of vending cups across 9 oz, 12 oz, 8 oz vending cups. We’re now looking at double wall and ripple wall cups to complete the set.

So here’s the good news: if you’re looking for cups, if you’re looking for disposables, if you’re looking for lids, you can get the lot at Automatic Retailing, because now we’re better equipped, we have more storage space, we have better buying power and moving forward, complete confidence in our supply chain.

Due to certain current market conditions, we see it as a great opportunity for us to continue to support and grow further within the market through a stable supply partner, which you already trust and know. This is backed up by third-party accreditation or independent audited accreditation, through the likes of being BRCGS and ISO accredited.

That’s my Big News for now, so until next time, bye-bye!
