Coca Cola brings state-of-the-art vending to Briarwood
By Denise J. Murray
Coca-Cola has brought its new technology known as uVenders to Briarwood Mall which was featured at the Beijing Olympics. This is the first deployment in Michigan, and is exclusive to Simon Malls across the country. uVends are a traditional 79” vending machine (in terms of the box itself) with a new door that provides entertainment and additional functionality.
The uVend can be used for promotional and advertising messaging, content and programming and can eventually be used to distribute other services such as ring tones, music, etc. The machines are located outside of Godiva Chocolatier and Coach.
