Why Mary A's

Fast, free, and local

Delivered within 3 business days

Say yes and your smart cooler is delivered and installed within 3 business days. I stock it and take care of it at no cost to you. It fits offices, apartment lobbies, gyms, and showrooms.

Restocked when it runs low

The machine tells me when stock is low, and items are usually back within 24 to 48 hours. Every machine has a QR code, so people can tell me what they want stocked.

Licensed and insured

I'm a licensed food safety manager, and Mary A's is insured for your location's protection. Machines plug into a regular wall outlet and take card or phone payments. No cash.

Named after my mom, Mary Ann

She knew everyone in the neighborhood. I'm building Mary A's the same way, one location at a time. I'm a disabled veteran, and Mary A's is LGBTQIA+ owned. Read my story on the About page.
