Published • 20 Dec 2023
2023 was a year of continued success for the unattended retail industry despite some persistent challenges. While operators faced obstacles like rising inflation, labor shortages, and stiff competition, our industry continued to bounce back – recovering almost to pre-pandemic levels.
Thanks to innovative products, new account opportunities, and the determination of operators in our industry, 2023 was a year to celebrate and remember. Let’s take a look back at the most newsworthy pieces from the past year as we prepare for success in 2024.
Here is 365 Wrapped – our top highlights from 2023.

A lot of you wanted to connect with us regarding our Connected Campus solution this year, which shows that operators and consumers are interested in solutions beyond simple vending and micro markets, and instead creating a solution-based ecosystem that brings unparalleled convenience to consumers. Connected Campus is a helpful tool for both operators and consumers to utilize different technologies across a location. Enjoying a comprehensive suite of technology has never been so easy.

The premium micro market provided to Hapag Lloyd piqued a lot of interest in the industry. Hapag-Lloyd, based in Atlanta, understood the upside of a full micro market experience, and they committed to completely renovating their space. Working hand in hand with their service provider, they added fresh food, a beautiful eating space, and even a high-quality coffee bar to serve their employees.

We started off 2023 with a bang in the Big Apple at the #NRF2023 show, and you followed along right there with us! NRF, or the National Retail Federation, is the world’s largest retail trade association serving food retailers, consumer brands, grocers, home goods, and more. Your interest in this post showed that sometimes events outside our traditionally-defined industry can give us a fresh perspective on our business. If you’ve never been to an NRF show, you might want to consider a visit . It’s huge and literally called “The Big Show” for a reason.
