Convenience Valet® is a division of Mechanical Servants, Inc. based in Melrose Park, IL.
Mechanical Servants, Inc. was incorporated in 1955. Over the past
50 years the Company
has strived to be the leader in every aspect of the business that it entered.
For many years
our core business focused on manufacturing mechanical vending machines and
providing the products to be sold.
Mechanical Servants, Inc. specialized in toys, general merchandise and Health & Beauty Care. Over the years the Company expanded from bowling centers and travel plazas to airports, hotels and cruise ships.
In the late 1980’s the Company made the decision to move forward
from vending to
traditional retail outlets by changing its packaging and offer the products
in a blister
packed format and the Company continued to prosper.
In 1995 the Company began testing its merchandising methods in convenience
stores
and found a very receptive audience. Two years later the company founded
Convenience Valet® as its retail product line. This line offers color-coded
cards, by category for easy merchandising. The new division specializes
primarily in convenience stores but added grocery in 1998 and drug in 2000.
Today, Convenience Valet® is recognized as the clear leader in blister
packaged
small and trial size consumer products. Through it’s innovative
packaging and category management, the company continues to expand in all
classes of trade with over 500
different sku’s.
