Smart Vending & Pantry Solutions

  • Umoja Grocer® is a leading autonomous grocer located in Atlanta and the first Black-owned smart mobile grocer in America. We work with a small group of B.I.P.O.C. growers, artisans, and food brands to bring culturally relevant food products to our community.

    Our 24/7 vending solution installs smart store machines that serve as community retail hubs — offering fresh snacks, wellness goods, and economic equity in one swipe.

  • Whether you’re hauling greens or growing roots, we ensure you’re equipped — from soil to sale. This program offers shared services and collective buying power for:

    • Farmers

    • CPG brands

    • Mobile market operators

    Members gain access to:

    • Wholesale produce catalogs

    • Co-packing and cold storage discounts

    • Seed shares, templates, and eBooks

    • Route-building and pricing strategy tools

  • We make it easier than ever to pick up, stock, and go. With shared storage, copacking, and pre-sorted product bundles, operators no longer need to waste time at wholesale clubs or sort through generic SKUs.

    Instead, our Vending Operator Fulfillment Hub allows you to:

    • Pick up pre-packed snack and beverage bundles customized for your routes

    • Access shared cold storage & dry warehousing for seamless reloading

    • Receive cut fruit, snacks, and drink combos in clear, labeled packaging
