Anthony Principe

At Five Star Vending, vending is not just a business – it’s a legacy.

We invite you to join us on this journey as we continue to innovate, grow, and serve with excellence.

  • 2009

    With a lifelong background in accounting and work as a CFO, Anthony transitions into the world of entrepreneurship with a vision and just five vending machines. Fueled by hard work and dedication, Anthony worked part-time and independently with just a minivan, operating out of his two-car garage.

  • 2018

    Five Star transitions from a part-time job to a full-time commitment for Anthony, with over 50 vending machines.

  • 2019

    A new chapter unfolded as Alex Principe joined his father, bringing a fresh perspective and a wealth of experience from the construction management industry. Transitioning into the vending business was a natural evolution, driven by a shared passion for entrepreneurship and a commitment to building upon the foundation laid by Anthony.

  • 2019 Onward

    With Alex’s arrival came the modernization of the business and a growth trajectory that soared. Within a short span, we expanded our fleet from 50 to over 100 machines, effectively doubling the size of the business.

From Humble Beginnings to Lasting Impressions: Delivering Quality Service

From humble beginnings, our journey of growth & success has led us to expand beyond the confines of the two-car garage to a spacious 1500 square foot warehouse. Yet, amidst this growth, our commitment to our founding principles remains unwavering. We believe in delivering quality service with a personal touch, ensuring that each interaction with our vending machines leaves a lasting impression.

As we continue to evolve and expand, our core values of integrity, reliability, and customer satisfaction continue to guide us forward. We take pride in the relationships we’ve built within our community and strive to exceed expectations with every snack, beverage, or treat we offer.
