Savannah Healthy Vending has been locally owned and operated by Tommy and Holly Hacker since 2015. The couple has built a reputation for combining convenience with wellness – providing fresh, healthy snacks and drinks through their vending and micro-market services. Their commitment to promoting healthier lifestyle choices in the workplace made them a valued partner to businesses, schools, healthcare facilities, and gyms in the region.

Five Star adds over 200 vending machines, 32 breakroom markets, and nearly three dozen coffee service end points. The company will integrate these locations into its robust regional operations network to ensure a seamless transition for customers and employees. The Hackers will assist Five Star during the transition process to maintain service continuity and bolster long-standing customer relationships.
