Green Machine: AG1 Launches Presence at Airports
The popular supplement brand is adding vending machines stocked with its nutrient-packed powder at several airports
AG1, the popular supplement brand, is rolling out vending machines stocked with five- and 30-count travel packs and shaker bottles at San Francisco International Airport’s Terminal 3. The machines will soon expand to airports in Houston, Chicago O’Hare and Oakland.
The supplement brand’s push into airports comes as well-being and fitness leaders have leaned into consumer enthusiasm toward wellness.
This year, Melbourne Airport launched Higher State, its first-ever health club and wellness center. Roam Fitness also opened a gym in the Philadelphia International Airport last year, while airline leader United struck a deal with wellness tech company Therabody to offer its products to international business class passengers.
CEO Kat Cole confirmed the news on Instagram, announcing plans to introduce the vending machines at more airports in the coming weeks to cater to the busy travel season.
“AG1 finally coming to you in airports! If there is a time that AG1 is extra helpful to support nutrient gaps and gut health… it’s during travel,” Cole wrote. “I will not travel without it.”
Cole, AG1’s former president and chief operating officer, took the reins of the supplement brand this summer after founder and CEO Chris Ashenden stepped down from his role. The New Zealand native founded the “drinkable multivitamin” brand in 2010 and saw the brand land a $1.2 billion valuation in 2022. At the time of Cole’s CEO announcement, he credited Cole as a “brilliant executive” and commented that no one was better to lead AG1 through its next phase.
In the crowded and ever-growing supplement space, AG1 has maintained its focus on one singular product — its signature powder with 75 ingredients, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics and whole-food-sourced nutrients, which promises to enhance energy levels, cognitive function and gut health.
