What a Las Vegas breakroom actually stockswhen it's 112°.

Every operator in the country says they “customise the assortment to your location.” Almost none of them will show you what that means. So here is our actual active list, and what a valley summer does to it.

These are real counts from the board that runs our warehouse — the master assortment we buy against, not a category list off a brochure. Every number below is checkable against the product wall on our homepage, which reads the same data.

A valley summer isn't a season, it's an operating condition

People from elsewhere hear “112 degrees” and picture a bad week. In practice the heat is a shape that sits over five or six months of the year and changes how a building behaves: people stop leaving at lunch, the walk to the car becomes a decision, and hydration stops being a wellness idea and becomes something closer to maintenance.

A break room is where that lands. Which is why the single biggest structural difference between our assortment and a national planogram isn't a brand — it's the ratio above.

Electrolytes are nearly a category of their own

Ten of the 126 items on our list are electrolyte drinks: Gatorlyte, Gatorade and Gatorade Zero, BODYARMOR LYTE, Body Armor Flash IV, and RARI. That is almost as many products as the entire soda category, and it exists because the ask is real — from warehouse floors, from clinical staff on long shifts, and from anyone who parked outside.

Next to it sits the still-water and sparkling range that does the quiet work: Smartwater, FIJI, Pellegrino, Spindrift, coconut water. In a Las Vegas building, premium water is not an indulgence line. It's the item people buy twice a day.

In most markets, water is what you stock so the cooler doesn't look empty. Here it's what the cooler is for.

The category nobody expects: self care

Twelve items, and it's the one that surprises people most in a walkthrough. Advil and Tylenol. DayQuil and NyQuil. Pepto. Benadryl — which in a valley spring is not a novelty item. An instant ice pack. Cleansing wipes. ChapStick.

None of this is a snack. All of it is what somebody needs at three in the afternoon in a building they can't easily leave, and the alternative is a twenty-minute round trip to a pharmacy. It's the single clearest line between a market people rely on and a fixture people buy chips from, and it is the category no vending route carries, because none of it survives a spiral.

Lunch that got skipped

Six items in food, and they're all the same idea: ramen in four varieties, chow mein, and microwavable macaroni. Unglamorous, and among the most useful things on the shelf. On a site where the nearest food is a drive, a two-dollar hot meal at 2pm is the difference between someone eating and someone not.

Alongside that sits the protein and better-for-you range — fourteen items including Power Crunch, Lenny & Larry's, EPIC, pistachios, tuna, popcorn — which in a medical or fitness-adjacent building is often the fastest-moving section in the market.

And there are two bags of dog treats, because somebody at a location asked for them on the request form and there was no good reason to say no.

What we deliberately don't do

We don't put all 126 items in every site. That number is the master list we buy against; a single market or cooler runs a narrower selection built for that building's demographics.

This is worth saying because the temptation runs the other way. A wide assortment looks impressive on a proposal. But a narrow shelf kept genuinely full will out-earn a wide one kept half empty every time — and in an unattended market a stockout doesn't defer a sale, it breaks the habit. There's no member of staff to offer a substitute and no second visit that afternoon. The person just learns that the thing they wanted isn't there.

So the assortment at your site is a subset, chosen from live shelf data at your site, and it moves. Which brings us to the part that isn't a decision we make at all.

Winter is a different market, and so is your building

The shelf isn't fixed. Electrolytes and cold brew give way to soup and hot chocolate when the valley finally cools, and a medical office, a warehouse and an apartment lobby three miles apart want visibly different things at the same time of year.

The mechanism for that is deliberately unglamorous: a request form lives on the market. When several people at a site ask for the same thing, it goes on the shelf. That is the entire approval process, and it's how the dog treats got there.

If you want to see the current list in full, it's on the homepage, filterable by category, reading live from the same board. It'll be different by the time the weather turns.
