Five Star Breaktime Solutions has acquired the Canteen Vending Services franchise of Wilmore Snack Sales, expanding its reach into northern Louisiana and eastern Texas.


Wilmore Snack Sales, a family-owned business since 1969, has been serving local industries such as healthcare, manufacturing and telecommunications with vending, office coffee and foodservice solutions. The company operated as a franchise under Canteen while remaining independently managed by owner Jimmy Wilmore. Under his leadership, Wilmore grew to operate more than 100 micro markets and 2,000 vending machines.


The acquisition will bring Five Star’s services to new locations, including Monroe, Ruston, Shreveport, and Natchitoches in Louisiana, as well as Longview, Nacogdoches and Marshall in Texas.


Mike McLean, Five Star’s CFO, said: "Expanding our geographic footprint is always an exciting opportunity. Jimmy and his family have built a legacy business with deep community ties and lasting relationships. We are grateful to have earned their trust and look forward to continuing to grow this business locally."
