What exactly is FOTOGO, and why is it leaving Wells, Maine, to take over the world?

FOTOGO is such a cool concept run by a very ambitious woman.

According to Seacoast Online, FOTOGO (short for food on the go) is ready-made meals in vending machines located at a lounge space in Wells, Maine.

But New Year's Eve was the last day for that location. Marina DeMarco who owns FOTOGO has a big idea and is branching out.

 What exactly is FOTOGO?

I'm sure you've seen vending machine food before, but nowadays it's a whole lot different than a bag of chips.

Marina DeMarco's FOTOGO was a new healthy food-to-go shop and lounge space.

The refrigerated vending machines had grab-and-go food that was nutritious. I know. Vending machines and nutritious? Yup. And she wants to go nationwide.

You don't need retail space to have a vending machine with food

With the vending machines in Wells, Marina also had a space to eat and relax. But not enough people took advantage of that. No problem, because the future of FOTOGO doesn't need a space to relax. Marina told Seacoast Online,

The machines don’t need retail space. They never did. These machines were developed for high foot-traffic areas, like apartment complexes, gyms, airports, and hospitals – anywhere where people sit, wait, or keep going.

FOTOGO is just over a year old, and Marina knows that to close it and change the goal is a risk. But she's all in, even creating her own protein snack called PowerCreme. They will be included in the vending machines. It sounds amazing and comes as a snack or meal and has 25 grams of protein and 170 calories per serving. That's what you want in a quick snack! I think she may be on to something. She said it herself, telling Seacoast Online,

I don’t believe in failure. I believe in experience.

We can't wait to experience it with you.
