About Us...

Janco Vending has come a long way since it began in the mid 1940's as a cigarette vending machine distributor.  Throughout the 1950's and 1960's, the company grew to an enormous operation with over a thousand cigarette vendors throughout the southeast.  As times and culture changed, Janco rapidly replaced much of its waning cigarette sales with candy, snack and soda machines.   In 1986, ownership changed for the first time and the business continued to grow.  By the 1990's, cigarette sales were all but gone, and the food and beverage business was here to stay. 

In 2006, Chattanooga entrepreneurs Paul & Dana Stone purchased the company and continue to operate it today from their North Chattanooga office.  With a vision to grow by pioneering new products and services, Janco maintains its core commitments to customer service that have lasted 63 years to the present.

In 2007, Janco acquired the Tennessee state contract to repair vending machines operated by Tennessee Business Enterprises, an association of the Tennessee Government.

In 2007, Janco's owners Paul & Dana Stone received the humanitarian of the year award from the Chamber of Commerce for their involvement with youth in the community.

In 2008, Janco Vending formed a partner relationship with Vending Chattanooga and Southern Coffee & Natural Spring Water.

In 2009, Janco Vending formed a partner relationship with Sodexo, a world leader in Food and Facilities Management Services.
