InstaHealthy Partners, Chris and Brianna Stalker Put a Dent on the War Against Junk Food
Industry: Health & Fitness
Socially Aware Syracuse Teacher & Kickboxing Instructor Provide Healthy Vending Options to Local Community
Syracuse, New York (PRUnderground) June 7th, 2017
Throughout Syracuse area schools and organizations, one couple is making a big difference in a healthy way. Identifying a need for healthy snack and beverage options in their city, Chris and Brianna Stalker brought InstaHealthy Vending to Syracuse, NY. According to the New York State Department of Health, obesity rates for children in Onondaga County school districts are averaging a whopping 33%, creating a hefty need for healthier food options in schools and organizations. Chris, a local school physical education teacher, and Brianna, part-time kickboxing instructor and full time mom, were motivated to make a difference by making healthy snack and beverage options more accessible to everybody. Since becoming operational partners of InstaHealthy, they have established 5 machines in the Syracuse area including locations at Grant Middle School, Boys & Girls Clubs of America, and the Skaneateles YMCA.
Chris and Brianna first got involved in the healthy vending business after noticing that the snacks and drinks available in the school their daughters go to are filled with junk food and sugary drinks. They felt a need to provide better and healthier options to their two girls and all members of their community needing healthier options. “We love bringing InstaHealthy to our community. We think the opportunity is fantastic,” says Brianna Stalker. “With my husband and I already involved on getting people active on the physical side, it’s great to also offer nutritious food options for those seeking the healthier lifestyle that we love.”
Skaneateles YMCA & Community Center, one of the locations featuring two InstaHealthy vending machines, offers the healthier snack options to members and outside sports groups as an alternative to candy, chips & soda filled junk food vending machines. “All of our members, especially our hockey & swim teams, love the healthy & nutritious options,” says Stephanie Bales, Membership Director at the Skaneateles YMCA.
Both Chris and Brianna have successfully made a difference in the Syracuse area with their placement of InstaHealthy vending machines in strategic locations promoting a well-balanced diet full of healthy food and drink options such as granola bars, baked & gluten-free chips, yogurts, teas and more. They continue to look for high traffic locations such as schools, recreation centers, gyms, hospitals, corporate offices and sports stadiums in need of healthier vending options.
Since its inception, the Southern California company has made its presence known from coast-to-coast, making their market in almost 30 cities throughout California, Massachusetts, Utah, Indiana, Florida, New York, Arizona, New Jersey and Louisiana. In an effort to stay true to the core of healthy vending’s purpose, all products placed in InstaHealthy’s Vending Machines and Micro Markets are held to the standard of being free of preservatives and high-fructose corn syrup. Of the locations secured in these regions, key placements have spanned the likes of shared workplaces, technology companies, education facilities, law firms and more.
As part of its business model, InstaHealthy USA’s location procurement team seeks placement for its partner’s Healthy Vending machines in locations with consistent traffic, such as education facilities, sports complexes, fitness studios and hospitals. The self-serve Micro Markets are best suited for corporate locations with more than 150 employees, which are also procured by the InstaHealthy USA team.
