Marcus Gram, founder and CEO of Joyner Vending, turned his side hustle into a full-time business. Here's how he's bringing in $500,000 in sales per year.

Five years ago, I was living at home with my mom in Rochester, New York and making $17 an hour a managerial position.. I used $10,000 of my savings to pay for a snack machine, a beverage machine, two credit card readers, food and drink products, and any delivery fees.

They met with me and saw that we were serious about what we promised: being flexible and fulfilling their stock as needed, responding to maintenance issues within 24 hours, and including QR codes on the machines so that people could get refunds quickly if they lost money.In the past, we mostly worked a lot with schools and office buildings. But this year, we started providing services to manufacturing companies.

Some offices are in different states, so the challenge was hiring enough staff to handle restocking demands. We have a few that need stocking seven days a week, with one account that needs it twice a day. There have been times where I've had to fly out to stock machines myself. I also want to help my mother's vending machine. I recently gifted her one in her hometown of Rochester, New York. We're excited to see where things go.
