Five Star Breaktime Solutions, a leading provider of micro markets, vending services, and office coffee solutions across the Southeast, has acquired Georgia Vending Services, a well-established vending services operator based in Alpharetta, GA. This acquisition strengthens Five Star’s presence in the Atlanta metro area, enhancing its ability to deliver premium breakroom experiences to businesses of all sizes.

Founded in 1996 by Rick Austin, Georgia Vending Services has proudly served Atlanta businesses and employees for nearly 30 years. Over the decades, the company built a reputation for exceptional service and strong relationships.

“While the decision to sell my business is bittersweet, I am confident we have found the right partner in Five Star Breaktime Solutions to carry on our legacy,” said Rick Austin, Owner of Georgia Vending Services. “Their commitment to reliable service, innovation, and values closely mirrors what Georgia Vending has stood for since its founding. I know our clients and employees will be in good hands moving forward.”

With this expansion, Five Star will bring its custom micro market technology, classic vending machine programs, and full-service coffee delivery solutions to more workplaces throughout Atlanta and North Georgia.  As a regional operator, Five Star provides value-adding programs to enhance the workplace experience for employers and their people such as custom breakroom renderings, online ordering, mobile app with rewards, giveaways, and promotional discounts.

“This acquisition aligns with our growth strategy and mission of reshaping the breaktime experience at more workplaces in Atlanta while honoring the foundation built by Rick and his team,” said Pat Barger, Director of Mergers and Acquisitions at Five Star Breaktime Solutions. “We look forward to welcoming Georgia Vending’s employees and serving their customers with excellence.”

Five Star Breaktime Solutions continues to lead the industry in transforming traditional breakrooms into modern, self-service destinations with fresh food, beverages, and gourmet coffee options.
