“I have been Blessed to be a part of TMVA for over 30 years. More if you count the times I attended convention with my family growing up. To me the best part of TMVA is the wealth of knowledge that is readily shared between the operators and suppliers. This type of knowledge is invaluable for an operator just entering the industry.”

“I went to my first TMVA Convention 35 years ago and my experience exceeded my expectations. After my second convention I was sold and have been coming ever since. The networking and information I learned from other operators about best practices was worth the investment of time and money but beyond that our company benefited with contacts that resulted in new business, significant educational experiences and wonderful friendships! Most importantly, TMVA advocates for our industry in Texas and all operators benefit from that work. Do your part and come join us!”

“I have been coming to TMVA events since I was a kid, it has been an absolute honor to become a board member and get more involved with this organization. I can say I am a better vending operator thanks to the lessons I have learned and connections I have made over the years of attending TMVA events.”

“Technology without utilization is more a nuisance than beneficial. Being a member of TMVA connects you with successful operators that truly utilize them. The typical route with VMS technology can support over $20k per week.”

“Knowledge is power. Sharing knowledge is the key to unlocking that power. TMVA & its membership breathe life into these words.”

“What began as something to simply try out turned into one of the best endeavors I’ve ever partaken. This organization has been instrumental in connecting me to a massive network of experienced Texas operators and suppliers, and it shows! The relationships I’ve built within TMVA have helped springboard my company to new heights! Here, everyone wants to see you succeed, everyone cares, and you’ll find yourself sending the elevator back down over and over again.”

“Never over promise and under deliver. Customer service is something that drives all of us in the industry and to have that at the forefront is one of the many ways for us to succeed.”

“I have been in the Consumer Products Industry for over 40 years representing Manufactures like Procter & Gamble, Coca-Cola, and Keurig Dr Pepper. I am honored to be a Board Member representing TMVA.

The conferences, golf and expos offer a great relaxed environment where you can build long-term relationships. I look forward to our continued growth.”

“I was introduced to the TMVA by Gene and Jim Schwartz of Service Vending in Temple Texas back in 1995. At the time I was a young sales representative looking to network and meet with people in our industry. The decision I made to join has been priceless. I was able to become a member of a professional organization of everyday hardworking men and women that care about their communities, their industry and each other. We gather together yearly meet and educate our state legislators, as fierce competitors on the golf course, and at our yearly convention as friends. I am a proud member of this great organization and I am humbled to be able to serve on their board.”

“We had been members of TMVA in the past, but we didn’t use the resources that TMVA has made available to us.  Once we started paying attention, we noticed that TMVA would allow our business to stay on top of all the current happenings in our industry.  It has helped us take the much needed steps to prepare our business for the future of our industry as well as understand the laws that do and might affect our business.  TMVA does so much work behind the scenes for our business.  Being an attentive member can truly help your business grow.”

“The Texas Merchandisers Vending Association has a fascinating, rich history and is a large part I believe in why Texas does so well in our exciting industry.   The caring members truly strive to help each other succeed by sharing tried and true methods while at the same time introducing new information that helps us leap forward.   From the sharpest brokers, reps and suppliers to knowledgeable operators, each share a common thread of looking out for your best interest.   At each year’s annual convention I am captivated by the pioneers principles that have led us to this point, and then fascinated by the depth of what new technology is being presented.   Whether you are a product provider, service supplier, large operator or a single person with one vending route, we want you and your successful future to be with TMVA!”

“I have been involved in the TMVA Family for 27 years.  The knowledge that is readily shared between members is for the continued growth and strength of our industry.  The educational and legislative benefits are most worthy.  Get Involved!”

“The TMVA is a great way to stay in touch with all aspects of the vending business. We tend to get wrapped up in our business and sometimes lose sight of what is going on around us. The conventions and meetings give me insight to what is going on in the industry. There are members from all parts of Texas, and from every segment of vending. Each get together is a learning experience and a chance to see people I’ve known for years and don’t see very often.”

“As a former operator and current technology provider, I’ve seen the great value TMVA provides to the entire industry. Advocacy, relationship-building, and education are just a few of many reasons why I’m proud to be part of a tremendous organization.”
