Hey Guys just wanted to let you all know that the Compass Group (Canteen Refreshments) has bought out another one of the soon to be extinct Independent Vending Companies. This time the victim was Fred Lee Distributing in Salem, Oregon. Unconfirmed sources say that Fred Lee had up to 10 vending routes and Canteen got it down to 3 by their standards. This is just another in the long list of Independent Distributors that have either became franchises or corporate accounts of the International Conglomo known as Compass Group. This is just another reason why I always tell you guys how important it is to be involved in your local and national vending trade groups. We all need to band together so that we are able to respond to events in the industry with one organized voice. Keep up the good fight peeps!!! Curt
