Rodney Merriwether is the owner of Snack Man Vending, a full-service vending company in the Memphis area.  He originally started in the vending business in 2003 on a part-time basis.  That business closed 4 years later for several reasons.  But the freedom of business ownership and the desire to create his own destiny pushed him to try again in 2008. 

​

At that point, he started Vending for All with 1 vending machine that he owned.  He aggressively & strategically built his business part-time while working full-time in the warehouse/logistics industry.  He sacrificed lunch breaks & any time available after work to meet prospective locations or service current ones.  This consistent activity & steady growth allowed Rodney to make the decision to become a full-time vending business owner when his employer shut their doors in 2011.

​

Early in 2013, he changed the business structure & name to Snack Man Vending.  Prior to the vending business, Rodney was focused on his career in the logistics industry.  He graduated from Memphis State University with a BBA concentrate in Marketing/Logistics.  He has held several supervisory positions with growing responsibilities at some large companies (Ingram Micro & Ozburn Hessey).

​

Rodney is your basic hometown guy with dreams of doing more, having more & helping anyone that he can to do the same.  He grew up in a small town (Grand Junction, TN) & developed 'ole fashioned' values that he uses to drive his business today.  He believes in community & strives for his business & social life to connect with the community to promote academic & economic growth.
