About Us

Snack-in-the-Box (SITB) is renowned for its professional national snack delivery service to the busy working environment.

We specialise in providing vending solutions to small/medium size businesses that previously haven't qualified for vending.

Snack-in-the-Box offers two opportunities:

• The Self Service Box
• The Vending Opportunity

Option 1 - Self Service Box

"Delivering snacks to the workplace"

Snack-in-the-Box has been delivering snacks to your workplace since 1991. The concept originally began by servicing clients with between 2-20 employees. Having perfected the business method to this niche marketplace, it was found that with careful training, franchise owners could replicate the system. A network of 100+ successful franchise owners is now operating throughout the UK with a number of further opportunities available.

The franchise owner delivers self-service hygienic plastic boxes containing a 50+ range of top branded confectionery and savoury snacks and soft drinks on a repeat weekly basis. Staff in the workplace choose their selections and put the money in the cash box. The franchise owner collects the takings and leaves a fresh box each visit. With strong Mars marketing support and branding, emphasis is placed on giving a professional, reliable and friendly service. Our franchise owners take care of everything for the customer. There are no hidden ongoing costs. The customer simply pays for what they eat. It couldnt be easier!!

Our comprehensive training and launch programme provides franchise owners with a ready to operate business in their local area. A genuine client base of no fewer than 150 small businesses sourced by our head office team guarantees a cash income from week one. Enjoying Full Membership status of the British Franchise Association we are totally committed to providing excellent franchisor support, guiding franchise owners through all stages of business development.
