Who We Are

Our Vision: Excellence for All

Founded in the Bronx, The Top Shelf was created on a simple, powerful principle: that every location deserves the very best.

Our name, "The Top Shelf," is our promise. It speaks to the premium quality of our machines, the curated selection of our products, the unmatched reliability of our service, and most importantly the message we stand behind. We aim to standardize excellence by placing superior amenities in every community, ensuring quality is accessible regardless of zip code. We believe that whether you are at a high-end wellness center, a dedicated workspace, or an assisted living facility, your access to modern convenience should never be compromised.

The Top Shelf Difference: Modernity in Every Detail

Providing the combination of expectation and reality in the convenience industry. We fundamentally reject the outdated, inefficient vending model. Our state-of-the-art machines are sleek, reliable, and equipped with modern payment options, ensuring a seamless experience.

Unlike the ancient, unreliable machines you might be used to, The Top Shelf operates with no coils and all shelves. This means no more stuck products, no more punching in a code to receive your order, and specifically curated items that could never fit in traditional vending machines. It's an efficient, reliable experience, every single time.

Our state-of-the-art machines and proactive service are backed by our commitment to responsible business. The Top Shelf Vending Services LLC is fully insured with a comprehensive Business Owner's Policy (BOP), ensuring peace of mind for all our partners.

We move far beyond old vending standards by providing:

State-of-the-Art Technology: No outdated machines here. Our equipment is new, clean, and equipped with advanced telemetry for optimal performance. Our technology allows us to monitor inventory remotely, ensuring our machines are always stocked, clean, and operational.

Curated Selection: A mix of fresh, high-quality, and multi-cultural products tailored to the specific needs of your location's community.

Local Commitment: As a proud, local NYC business, we are agile, responsive, and personally invested in the success and satisfaction of our partners right here in the five boroughs.

The Founder

The drive behind this mission is personal. The Top Shelf was founded by Arcedo Valdez, a proud New Yorker committed to ensuring that the highest standard of excellence is accessible throughout the city. This commitment to quality and community defines every choice we make, from the machines we select to the products we source.

Our Roots. Our Pride.

While our machines are designed for the future, our mission is deeply rooted in our community. We are driven by Bronx pride and a commitment to ensuring that the highest standard of amenity—the "top shelf"—is accessible everywhere.

Partnering with The Top Shelf means choosing a vendor who sees your location not just as a placement, but as a valued part of a city we are actively working to elevate, one perfect snack and drink at a time.
