Ann Arbor operates at the intersection of world-class research and real-world industry. The University of Michigan — one of the top public research universities on the planet — anchors a campus that employs tens of thousands and draws some of the most talented researchers, engineers, and physicians in the country. Michigan Medicine is one of the largest academic medical centers in the United States. And the mobility and life sciences companies that have clustered around the university — Waymo, May Mobility, Barron’s research spinouts, and dozens more — have made Ann Arbor one of the most innovative mid-sized cities in America. The city runs on long hours, deep focus, and high expectations. As a managed vending company, we serve all of it.
