Target locations. Found with VLA.
Getting a machine into a great location is the whole game. We don't hold the site agreements ourselves. We identify target locations through our partner VLA, a micro-retail leasing agency that works with shopping-centre and retail property groups across Australia. Placement always depends on site availability and fit.

Target locations, through our partner VLA.
VLA works with property groups on site opportunities. Vend Brands supplies the equipment, brand and operations. A location is a target until a venue agrees. Nothing here is a reserved area, a right over a region, or a first right of refusal.
Vicinity Centres
Stockland
Mirvac
GPT Group
Lendlease
Charter Hall
Dexus
QIC
ISPTLogos represent property groups our partner VLA works with. Shown for identification only, no endorsement implied.
A placement path you don't have to build alone.
Property groups VLA works with
Vicinity, Stockland, Mirvac, GPT, Lendlease, Charter Hall, Dexus, QIC and ISPT are among the groups VLA talks to. A conversation with a group is not a confirmed site.
Site selection done with you
Foot traffic, demographics, adjacency to anchor tenants and dwell zones are how target locations get shortlisted. A site is confirmed only when the venue agrees.
Lease admin off your plate
Licence terms, insurance certificates, centre inductions and renewals can be handled with the leasing agency. The terms are the venue's, agreed per site.
What we ask of you.
Great sites come with real standards. To protect the venue, the brand and every other operator in the network, partners agree to a clear set of commercial and operational terms.
Two months' bond, paid in advance
Every site placement carries a two-month site bond, paid up-front. It secures the pitch, covers the landlord's expectations and is held against ongoing compliance.
Rules and compliance, non-negotiable
Centre codes of conduct, trading hours, insurance, safety and reporting standards must be followed to the letter. Non-compliance risks the site, and the network.
Always operational
Machines must remain fully operational. Faults are triaged fast, downtime is tracked, and repeat outages are treated as a service breach.
Fully stocked and spotlessly clean
Stock levels, product presentation and machine cleanliness are inspected. A machine that looks tired is a machine that loses the site.
Professional on site, always.
Uniformed service visits, respectful conduct with centre management, clean vehicles, tidy restocks. You're representing the brand and the landlord every time you (or your team) show up. We won't compromise on that, and neither will our leasing partner.
One machine, or several.
Single-machine owners are welcome, and so are people who want more than one. Each location is agreed on its own. We do not offer a reserved area or a right over a state.
One machine
Start with a single machine. We identify a target location through our partner VLA and walk you through the venue terms before you commit.
Several machines
Some owners run more than one machine. Each site is a separate conversation. There is no priority release, no first right of refusal, and no patch reserved for one operator.
A venue to host
Have a venue of your own? We can talk about hosting a machine there. That is a site conversation, not a right over a region.
These are commercial conversations, not application forms. Tell us the city you have in mind, the capital you're bringing, and whether you want one machine or several.
A target list.
Then a venue that agrees.
Shopping centres change. Refurbs, new anchors and seasonal activations can create new spots. We identify target locations through our partner VLA. A spot becomes a placement only when the venue agrees the terms.
- Target locations shortlisted through VLA, per venue.
- Service, restocking and logistics can be handled for you.
- No promise that another Vend Brands operator won't be nearby.
- You own the machine you buy. The site agreement is separate.
The rough shape of a placement
Illustrative only. Every placement is structured to the venue, the operator and whether a site is actually available.

Target locations are identified through our partner VLA. Vend Brands provides the equipment, brand and operational systems. Site availability, bond terms and compliance standards are set on a per-centre basis. We do not promise a reserved area or a right over a region.
