Moran Munchies joins with Canteen vending

Moran Munchies' crew stands ready to continue the excellent service they are known for. The new affiliation with Canteen will not change the personal service Moran's customers are used to.

Canteen, a division of Compass Group USA from Charlotte, N.C., announced recently that Moran Munchies of Whitehouse has become its 111th franchisee. Moran Munchies, owned by Dale, Patrick and Marjorie Moran, has been in business for almost 20 years and is in the top 20 percent of vending businesses in the United States based on volume.

"This is a perfect combination

of local ownership and industry expertise and organization," said Dale Moran, president and founder of Moran Munchies.

"This is an exciting opportunity we could not let pass- the largest vending company in the world offering to make us one of their franchises," Patrick Moran, vice president of Moran Munchies, stated. "We will remain competitive in this market for many years to come."

Moran Munchies Inc. is a Whitehouse-based, familyowned, full-service food and beverage vending and office coffee service company.

Begun in 1989 with one truck and operating out of the family garage, Moran Munchies has since grown to be one of the three largest vending companies in the area, operating in a five-county region.
