ACH MORNING WHEN JEN CORTO DRIVES UP TO THE PARKING
lot of Buffalo Strive Vending in Orchard Park, N.Y., she has a
feeling of disbelief. It's surreal for her to see that the vending
company she and her husband, Jon, started in 2011 has grown into
a 40,000-square-foot warehouse space; that the dozens of vehicles in
the parking lot belong to the 70 people now working there; and that the
fleet of 20 delivery trucks belongs to Buffalo Strive Vending and carries
products to customers each day.
In just 13 years, Buffalo Strive Vending has grown from about $170,000
in 2012 to $16 million in annual revenue - all through its embrace of micro
markets, a focus on fresh food and a relentless pursuit to serve others.
