CORONA, Calif. – AVT, Inc., a leading participant in the Automated Retail Income Development Fund, released results of 2nd Quarter activities.
Automated Retail Income Development (A.R.I.D) is a registered private placement that raises capital from qualified investors to purchase AVT’s Automated Kiosks featuring Marley Coffee.
The kiosks are delivered to regional vending operators throughout the country, who provide installation and day-to-day servicing.

A Preferred Vendor Agreement was reached with Gulf Oil, LLC.
The agreement names Marley Coffee Automated Stores as the exclusive provider of automated coffee for Gulf retailers. Three dealers have already received kiosks, and a significant opportunity exists within Gulf’s 2,800 retail locations.
