Vending machines in Caledonia, Michigan.

Caledonia means two different things depending on the address. In the village it is a small main street. Five minutes north on 68th Street it is million-square-foot buildings running overnight, and that is where a machine earns its floor space fastest.

Getting there
About 20 miles southeast of downtown Grand Rapids, roughly 28 minutes.

Amazon operates a fulfillment center at 4500 68th Street SE with roughly 1,000 people on a campus running over a million square feet. Aspen Surgical Products is headquartered at 5220 68th Street, making disposable surgical and healthcare products, and consolidated its warehousing next door after acquiring Symmetry Surgical. The township describes itself as one of the fastest-growing communities in Kent County and offers industrial tax abatements to keep it that way.The township also offers PA 198 industrial tax abatements, which is a fair signal of where it expects the next round of buildings to land. Broadmoor Avenue, which is M-37, is the spine tying the village to the 68th Street corridor.

Where we place

The buildings we are looking for in Caledonia.

Not a generic list. These are the property types that actually exist here in volume.

  1. 01

    Fulfillment and distribution

    Million-square-foot buildings where the walk to the break room is already long and the drive to anything else is longer. Overnight shifts are standard.

  2. 02

    Medical device manufacturing

    Clean, controlled, shift-based environments. Card-only and no cash on site is a feature, not a compromise.

  3. 03

    Village and township buildings

    The small end of the barbell — schools, municipal offices and main-street businesses along Broadmoor.

The gap between the village and the 68th Street corridor changes what we would actually recommend. A million-square-foot fulfillment building justifies a machine on its own. A single small storefront in the village might not yet, and we would rather tell you that than install something that sits half-full for a year.

Straight answer

Are you actually going to drive to Caledonia?

Caledonia is a longer run — about twenty-eight minutes southeast — and it only makes sense to us paired with Kentwood and Cascade on the same trip. We would rather say that plainly than pretend distance is free. The 68th Street corridor is worth the drive because the buildings there are large enough to justify it. A single machine in the village on its own is a harder case, and we will tell you if that is what we think.

What it costs you

Nothing. The same terms everywhere we go.

  • No cost to the property. No purchase, no lease, no required revenue share, no service contract to sign.
  • No labor. We install it, stock it, service it and handle refunds. Our contact information goes on the machine, not yours.
  • Month to month. If the machine stops being worth the floor space it sits on, tell us and we come pull it out.
  • What we need from you. A standard 120V outlet, WiFi the machine can join, and roughly eight square feet of floor.
  • Card only. Tap, chip or mobile wallet. No cash sits on your property and there is nothing worth breaking into.
  • An assortment built for your building. Sometimes people just need snacks. Sometimes non-traditional items go a long way. We will build a selection that matches the quirkiness of your community — nothing is too weird, as long as it is legal.

We place machines nearby too

Just outside Caledonia? Ask anyway — the 30-mile radius is a guideline, not a fence.
