About Uptown Vending

Uptown Vending is a locally owned and operated vending company providing modern vending solutions to businesses throughout Greater New Orleans and the surrounding areas.

I founded Uptown Vending with a straightforward goal: to make vending more convenient, reliable, and accessible for local businesses and the people they serve. Through smart coolers, cashless payment technology, and carefully selected products tailored to each location, we're bringing a modern approach to traditional vending.

Whether it's a fitness center, office, or commercial workplace, our focus is on providing a dependable service that makes everyday life a little easier. From installation and product selection to regular restocking and ongoing maintenance, we handle every detail to create a hassle-free experience for our business partners.

From the founder

As a New Orleans native and graduate of Loyola University New Orleans, I've always valued the opportunity to build something in the community I call home. I had the opportunity to pitch Uptown Vending through Loyola's Wolf Pack LaunchU entrepreneurial competition, where I secured $9,000 in funding to help grow and expand the business.

I'm passionate about what I'm building with Uptown Vending and the relationships we're developing along the way. My goal is to continue growing throughout Greater New Orleans while maintaining the personal attention, reliability, and quality of service that local businesses deserve.
