How Evergreen Refreshments and 365 Retail Markets Are Transforming Self-Service in the Pacific Northwest

As Evergreen Refreshments celebrates 50 years of service this April, we're excited to share how our partnership with 365 Retail Markets is revolutionizing convenience across Washington and Oregon. Together, we're bringing cutting-edge smart store solutions to workplaces, campuses, healthcare facilities, and hospitality venues throughout the region.

The Vision Technology Difference

One of our core offerings at Evergreen Refreshments is our Breakroom Micro Market Service, designed to bring the convenience of a food and beverage  market right into your breakroom or lobby. In the Pacific Northwest, we service thousands of local businesses, providing a valued daily perk for employees and guests.

At the heart of this service are two innovative products from 365 Retail Markets: PicoCooler Vision and the newly launched PicoFreezer Vision. These AI-powered smart coolers use computer vision to automatically detect what customers select without the friction of traditional vending.

Proven Results Across the Pacific Northwest

Our PicoCooler Vision deployment at a local Seattle community college showcases the technology's impact. With nine coolers  providing 24/7 coverage, both students and staff are thrilled with the uptime and offerings. As our SVP of Operations Arthur Siller recently shared with 365 Retail Markets, "From the first customer interaction, we had instant feedback on how much they loved the ease of use, the look of the new equipment, and the product variety." 

Where We're Making an Impact

We're deploying 365-powered solutions across diverse high-traffic locations: healthcare facilities with round-the-clock staff, college campuses serving late-night studiers, corporate offices enhancing workplace amenities, and hospitality venues providing convenient guest options. The compact footprint and 24/7 availability make Vision technology perfect for locations where space is limited but demand for quality is high.

Why This Partnership Works

We chose 365 Retail Markets as our provider for smart coolers because they share our commitment to quality and innovation. As the industry leader in unattended retail technology, 365 provides the proven reliability, comprehensive support, and scalable solutions we need to serve our diverse Pacific Northwest customer base. Their continuous R&D investment ensures we can always offer the most advanced technology available.

As Arthur noted, embracing Vision technology "has made us a true leader in our market. It's brought new ideas, a fresh perspective, and new life to our teams. Everyone wins in that scenario."
