Our Philosophy.

We’re a locally owned and operated small business based in Lynchburg, Virginia, built on a simple idea: great drinks and snacks should be easily accessible when you really need them. Who wants an old, dingy vending machine? Not us, and probably not you. That’s why we’re placing modern, reliable smart markets to workplaces and community spaces.

Happier Customers. Better Workdays. Modern Convenience.

That’s A1 Smart Market!

 FAQs

  • We do! A1 has a 60-Day Pilot Program. If we do not perform the consistent service you expect, you can opt out during the pilot and we’ll remove your machine. Simple as that!

  • AI machines track what is stocked and taken out of the machine, making for a quick and easy transaction for customers. A simple tap, grab, and you’re on your way. No more stuck mechanisms.

  • Nothing! There’s no upfront cost. We handle setup, maintenance, and restocking. You simply provide the space and an outlet.

  • An AI vending machine is simply smarter and more reliable than an old-school, “dinky” machine. Instead of getting stuck items, limited choices, or outdated snacks, an AI market keeps products fresh, tracks inventory in real time, and accepts modern payments seamlessly. It helps us learn what people actually buy and help us adjust the selection so the machine always feels stocked with what you want, not random leftovers. Plus, it looks cleaner, runs smoother, and gives a better shopping experience overall.

  • We stock with a variety of products that we feel are relevant to your customers. We are always here for requests and do our best to give you exactly what your guests are looking for!

  • We are a locally owned and operated small business. If there is a problem with your machine, we will be on it right away to get it resolved!

  • This can vary based on demand. We stock once* per week.

  • Yes! It comes down to a case by case basis, but we can certainly offer an open market plan that is customized to your company’s needs.

  • No, we do not manufacture our own machines. A1 Smart Market carefully sources machines from companies that have AI powered tracking and locking door mechanisms. MicroMart is an example!
