At Audax MicroMarts, our journey began with a simple yet powerful vision: to revolutionize the vending industry by delivering innovative, automated solutions that serve the needs of modern businesses and organizations by unlocking their potential and maximizing revenues. Founded as part of the broader VB Audax Group, we draw inspiration from the Latin word "Audax," meaning bold, daring and audacious. This reflects our unwavering commitment to challenging conventions and setting new standards in the world of smart vending, micromarts and smart stores.

Our founder, Thomas Blowes is a dynamic entrepreneur with a legal background having worked in the commercial real estate and renewable energy sectors for nearly a decade. Thomas has a passion for innovation, sought to create a business model that serves clients through a combination of cutting-edge technology with exceptional customer service.

The vision for Audax MicroMarts began in Scotland but born in North Carolina, where we identified a gap in the United States market for fully managed smart vending solutions tailored to diverse sectors—from education and healthcare to corporate and residential spaces. Audax MicroMarts is designed to meet that demand, providing clients with sleek, smart vending, micromart and smart store solutions that enhance client facilities, create convenience for staff and visitors, and generates consistent passive revenue income.

As we continue to grow, our journey is driven by a desire to forge long term partnerships with businesses and organizations that value innovation, adaptability, and long-term success. From our first placement to our ambitious expansion plans across the Southeast and wider United States, our story is about more than just traditional vending machines—it's about creating connections, fostering growth, and building a legacy of excellence through strategic partnerships and dynamic synergies.
