If you’re thinking about adding a Spirit Box school store vending machine next year, don’t wait for fall to get started. Spirit Box offers convenience for students and staff, a consistent revenue stream, and, most importantly, creates an incredible hands-on learning lab for entrepreneurial skills right within your school. Summer is the perfect time to prep, plan, and set your school store up for success. 

At Spirit Box, we believe that school store vending should be more than just a fundraiser. That’s why we created a turnkey system that gives students the chance to run a fully functioning, cashless business right inside their school. It’s hands-on, student-led, and aligned with real business learning outcomes.

Spirit Box had an incredible showing at ICDC 2025! As proud sponsors of the DECA Sales Project and longtime DECA National Advisory Board members, we’re passionate about helping students gain real-world entrepreneurial experience through school store vending machines.

Schools across the country are expanding their Spirit Box vending operations—and seeing big results! From boosting fundraising revenue to providing more hands-on learning opportunities, adding additional school store vending machines helps schools maximize profits, increase convenience, and enhance student engagement.

For both students and advisors, Spirit Box has been an incredible hands-on learning tool—teaching business fundamentals like inventory management, sales tracking, marketing, and pricing strategies. But what happens after high school?

Introducing a Spirit Box school store vending machine is an engaging way to provide students with real-world entrepreneurship experience and hands-on learning. Whether you're a high school student eager to start a business, a teacher looking for new ways to teach business skills, or a CTE director seeking to enhance career-connected learning, securing the right funding is key to bringing your vision to life.
