East Texas vending, markets, coffee and water
Find the right fit for your breakroom.
Lone Star Vending has been family operated since 1986. Micro markets, vending, office coffee and in-line water filtration, run on 14 full-time routes out of Longview. Tell us about your workplace and we will recommend the mix that fits.
What we install and service
Six services, one local partner.
Start with one or build the whole room. Open any card to see what it includes. If you are not sure which ones fit, tell us your headcount and your shifts and we will come look at the space.
Built around your workplace
What changes for your kind of site.
The same services get put together differently depending on the building and the shift. Open the closest match.
A smaller headcount does not mean a worse breakroom. Coffee sized to the morning, a few machines or a compact market, and water on the wall or delivered in bottles, whichever the room allows. We service offices from 20 employees on the same standard as our largest accounts.
Where we serve
The largest territory in East Texas.
We run our own routes out of White Oak. The territory reaches west to Terrell, north to Mt. Pleasant and Texarkana, and south along the Louisiana line through Lufkin and San Augustine down to Jasper.

Before you ask
Questions we get most
You do not need to know the exact equipment or service package before reaching out.
Should we use in-line filtration or 5-gallon bottled water?
We do both, so it comes down to the room. In-line filtration plumbs into your water line and delivers hot or cold on demand, with nothing to change out and nothing to store. Five gallon bottled water is the answer where there is no line to plumb into, or where your team simply prefers bottles. We deliver the bottles and pick up the empties on the same routes that service your machines and coffee. Tell us about the space and we will tell you which one fits.
How is a micro market different from vending?
A market is an open mini convenience store with a self-checkout kiosk. It holds many items that cannot go in a traditional vending machine, and your team can pick up more than one thing and scan it all at once.
Will your logo be on our micro market?
No. Our markets are built with your colors and your logo. We do not put our logo or the manufacturer's logo on them. They are not generic markets, they are built specifically for you.
What is the difference between a pantry and a market?
A pantry is employer funded and free to your team at the point of use. A market is self-checkout, so your team pays for what they take. Some workplaces run both.
How small a site do you serve?
We service accounts from 20 employees up to industrial sites with several hundred. Our motto has always been to treat every customer the same no matter the size difference.
What areas do you cover?
We are the largest full-line vending company in East Texas, running our own routes out of White Oak. Our territory reaches as far west as Terrell, north to Mt. Pleasant and Texarkana, east to Marshall, and south along the Louisiana line through Lufkin and San Augustine down to Jasper. That covers more than 40 communities across Gregg, Smith, Harrison, Panola, Marion, Upshur, Wood, Van Zandt, Kaufman, Henderson, Titus, Camp, Morris, Cass, Bowie, Cherokee, Anderson, Angelina, San Augustine and Jasper counties. If you are not sure you are inside it, call 903-758-8639 and we will confirm your address.
What kinds of machines do you offer?
Snack, drink, cold food, ice cream and coffee machines, in current-generation equipment rather than whatever was left in the warehouse. Glass front snack machines so people can see what they are buying, refrigerated cold food and ice cream where the site supports it, and drink machines we own outright. Because we own the equipment instead of leasing it from the bottler, the front of a drink machine can be wrapped in your logo and colors instead of a soda brand. We recommend the mix after we have seen the room and the headcount.
What coffee do you carry?
We build the coffee around how your team actually drinks it. Bunn commercial brewers plumb straight into your water line for a full pot. On the single cup side we carry Keurig with a wide K-cup selection, plus Flavia and Mars for offices that prefer that lineup, and plenty of rooms run more than one. On the coffee itself we carry a range of roasts, from a clean everyday filter pack that makes a consistent pot with no mess to darker and flavored options, and we adjust the lineup once we see what gets used. Tell us what your team drinks now and we will build from there.
What comes with the coffee service?
Cups, lids and stir sticks, sugar and artificial sweeteners, regular and flavored creamers, hot cocoa and a tea selection. It arrives on the same route that services the brewers, so nobody in your office is ordering supplies.
Can you stock products a vending distributor cannot get?
Yes. We have operated seven convenience stores over the last 17 years, which opens us up to a whole line of products that are not available through vending distributors.
How do we get started?
Call 903-758-8639 or send the form. We will set up a time to come meet with you, look at your space, and work out the best fit for your needs.
