About Us

Nick Balasco, the founder of Balasco Vending, has had a lifelong passion for claw machines.  From a young age, he was obsessed with the machines, always stopping to play whenever he passed one. 

His parents eventually grew tired of his constant begging to play, so they decided to buy one for their home.  This was where Nick's love for claw machines truly blossomed. He spent countless hours playing and learning the ins and outs of the machines.

Through trial and error, Nick learned how to master the claw machine and win a wide variety of stuffed animals. He became so skilled at the machines that he would often win multiple prizes in a single session.  This is where his fascination with the mechanics and technology of claw machines began.

Nick's passion for claw machines led him to start Balasco Vending, a business dedicated to providing top-quality claw machines to businesses. With his extensive knowledge and experience, Nick is able to provide machines that are not only entertaining but also profitable for the businesses that use them. He's also able to offer excellent maintenance and repair services to help keep machines running smoothly.

Nick's love for claw machines is evident in everything he does, and his dedication to providing the best machines and service to his customers is what sets Balasco Vending apart from the competition.

"It was always my dream to own an arcade business, everyday i would dream about having my very own machines in stores and restaurants.  Today, I'm proud to say that we now have Hundreds of machines on location and can't wait to see where the future takes us." - Nick Balasco, Founder & CEO
