Founded in 2020, by Lakoya Yarborough and Chris Jones Sr., L&C Vending started to provide vending services in Charlotte, North Carolina, which has now expanded to Concord, Lotus, Kannapolis and Salisbury North Carolina. Lakoya Yarborough has spent the past eleven years in education, serving as a Teacher Leader and an Assistant Principal, where she spent her time cultivating the “whole” child and helping teachers create conditions for students to thrive and learn. Chris Jones Sr., has spent his entire life in the service industry, where his passion is providing an elite customer service experience and going out into the community to give back to those in need. 

Within the first 2 years of Operation, Lakoya and Chris have over 60 vending machines in 31 local schools, businesses, hospitals, apartment complexes and car dealerships.
