About Vendors Supply Inc
Vendors Supply Inc is headquartered in Columbia, South Carolina. Founded in 1964 by James H. Sikes, a Marine Corps veteran who served in Korea, the company began when Sikes recognized a need for a reliable vending supplies distributor after working in the bakery business. He started operations from his carport in Columbia using an old pickup truck for deliveries. The business remains family-owned and family-run; in 2010 James Sikes retired and his son Randy Sikes became president and CEO, while son-in-law Ronnie Stokes serves as vice president and CFO. James Sikes passed away in 2013. The company operates distribution centers that stock and deliver vending machine food and related products on a regularly scheduled basis. Its product categories include fresh pastry, long-shelf-life pastry, freeze-on-arrival pastry, allied products (snacks, drinks, hot and cold foods, condiments, paper and plastic supplies), candy, and frozen products (puddings, yogurt, frozen foods, coffee, sandwiches). It carries brands such as Duchess, Prairie City, Mrs. Freshley’s, Otis Spunkmeyer, LavAzza, and Tina’s. No specific facility size, headcount, or volume figures are disclosed. Vendors Supply serves vending machine operators, office coffee service (OCS) providers, and micro-market operators. Its customers are typically family-owned vending businesses similar to itself. The company highlights compliance with USDA Smart Snacks standards and the NAMA FitPick program, indicating a focus on healthier vending options for schools and workplaces. Its motto, “Service is our #1 Product,” reflects a philosophy of bringing family values to business relationships and treating customers, suppliers, and employees by the golden rule. The Sikes family’s dedication to continuing quality service is presented as the core differentiator.
