Meat vending machines in New York

Applestone Meat Co. has installed meat vending machines at their Stone Ridge, NY shop with plans to deploy 24-hour meat machines in Hudson, Scarsdale, and Manhattan. From Bloomberg:

Each is filled with a different type of protein: beef, pork, lamb, and ground meat and sausage. He has to restock the machines constantly to keep up with demand. Later this year, Applestone is expanding to Hudson, where the store will have at least seven machines. By early next year the company will open in Scarsdale, where hes planning for 10 machines, and later in 2019 hell open in Manhattan, with possibly even more.

Accessibility is key to this unlikely success; customers dont have to get to the butcher shop by 7 p.m. or buy questionable leftover product from a late-night market. Were not in the 1950s anymore, where everyone works 9 to 5 and eats at the same time every night, Applestone says of 24/7 accessibility to meat. Life is chaotic. At best.
