Micro Market Solutions
for Wake County Workplaces.
Open-shelf self-serve markets for offices, clinics, and campuses across Wake County and the Triangle. A better on-site food experience — at no cost to your facility. Fully managed by TerrainIntel.
What Is a Micro Market
A convenience store experience inside your workplace.
A micro market is a self-serve, unstaffed retail space installed inside a workplace, clinic, or campus. Unlike traditional vending machines, micro markets feature open shelving, refrigerated sections, and a self-checkout kiosk — giving employees and visitors a full convenience store experience without leaving the building.
For facilities across Wake County and the Triangle, TerrainIntel installs and manages the entire market — equipment, stocking, maintenance, and support — at no cost to the location. Revenue is generated through product sales, and locations can participate in a revenue-share arrangement.
Why Micro Markets
More than a vending machine. A real amenity.
Micro markets consistently outperform traditional vending in employee satisfaction, product variety, and per-location revenue. They signal to your staff and visitors that your facility invests in their experience.
Open-Shelf Browsing
Unlike enclosed coolers, micro markets allow customers to browse open shelves and refrigerated sections freely — creating a more natural, retail-like experience in the workplace.
Broader Product Range
Micro markets support a wider mix of products: fresh meals, snacks, beverages, dairy, and dry goods all in one footprint. Better variety means more daily usage and higher satisfaction.
Flexible Format
Configurations scale from a compact single-cooler setup to a full multi-unit market with shelving, signage, and a dedicated checkout kiosk — matched to your space and traffic volume.
Fully Connected & Managed
Real-time inventory tracking, remote monitoring, and alert-driven restocking keep the market stocked and operational. TerrainIntel handles everything — your team manages nothing.
