Healthy returns
Source: Boston Business Journal
The next time you hit the office vending machine, Patrick Anzalone hopes you'll select a Power Bar instead of the M&M's. Five years ago East Boston-based Automated Food Service Inc., launched "Mission Nutrition," promoting healthier alternatives along with traditional vending machine fare. Anzalone says it's enabled him to create a profitable niche, with 23 percent of his gross revenue now derived from healthier (low or no fat) items. That's up 400 percent from two years ago. I'll take a seltzer and a bag of almonds, thanks.
