Strive Markets is a locally owned, family-operated Western New York company

Strive Markets is a locally owned, family-operated Western New York company providing customized workplace food, beverage, and break-room solutions for manufacturers, industrial facilities, offices, healthcare organizations, schools, and other employers. Founded in 2011, Strive helps companies create convenient, modern break-room environments that support employee satisfaction, workplace wellness, recruitment, retention, and productivity.

Strive specializes in custom micro markets that transform traditional employee break rooms into self-service, on-site marketplaces featuring fresh meals, healthy foods, snacks, beverages, and everyday favorites. Markets are designed around each company’s available space and workforce needs and feature modern self-checkout technology with credit card and mobile-wallet payment options. Employers can also subsidize employee purchases as an added workplace benefit.

Fresh food is prepared daily in Strive’s local in-house kitchen and commissary, with rotating menus that include sandwiches, wraps, salads, meals, snacks, and other grab-and-go options. Strive emphasizes fresh ingredients, healthy choices, and menu variety to provide employees with convenient meal options without requiring them to leave the workplace.

Additional services include modern vending machines, fresh-food vending, snack and beverage vending, office coffee service, single-cup and bean-to-cup coffee systems, water filtration and coolers, office pantry services, catering, and customized workplace refreshment programs.

Strive provides full-service management of its micro markets and vending solutions, including design, installation, inventory management, product selection, restocking, maintenance, and ongoing customer support. Wireless technology allows inventory to be monitored remotely, helping maintain product availability and efficient service.

For manufacturers operating multiple shifts or facilities where employees have limited access to nearby restaurants and food options, Strive Markets provides a convenient on-site solution that can remain accessible throughout the workday. Micro markets and vending solutions can also be incorporated into employee recruitment, retention, wellness, and workplace culture initiatives.
