El negocio oculto de las máquinas expendedoras | Arturo y Grace | Historias de Patrimonio

Do vending machines really make money? What does it take to own one and turn it into a real business? In this episode of Heritage Stories, Berenice and Beto talk with Arturo Molina and Grace Hernandez, partners, couple, and best friends, about the story behind Coin City, Owl Desarrollos, and VM24. Arturo started working for a company that manufactured vending machines. After learning how the industry worked, he was given the opportunity to start selling them. He accepted the challenge, continued to grow, and that's how Coin City was born. Over time, they discovered that traditional manufacturers weren't willing to customize, adapt, or develop different machines. Instead of accepting that limitation, they decided to create Owl Desarrollos, a company capable of manufacturing vending machines completely tailored to each project. From traditional beverage and product vending machines to developments for nail polish, perfumes, handbags, video games, and fully customized concepts, Arturo and Grace show that vending can go far beyond what we see every day. They also discuss: • How the vending machine business works. • Technology applied to vending and marketing. • Creating customized machines for different brands. • Lessons learned over 23, 13, and 12 years in the business. • How to work with your partner without ruining the relationship. • Why being best friends and maintaining excellent communication has been fundamental to growing together. • The advice they would give to other couples who want to become partners. An episode full of innovation, entrepreneurship, and insights into an industry that's everywhere, but that very few people truly understand.
