FOTOGO Shuts Down in Wells, Maine to Expand Its Global Reach

FOTOGO is a new and innovative platform that focuses on providing unique photography services and experiences. It is gaining popularity for its creative approach to capturing moments and memories. The decision to expand beyond Wells, Maine, is driven by a desire to reach a broader audience and share its distinctive offerings with the world. By leaving its hometown, FOTOGO aims to establish a global presence, connecting with photography enthusiasts and clients in various locations and ultimately transforming the way people engage with photography.

FOTOGO is such a cool concept run by a very ambitious woman. According to Seacoast Online, FOTOGO (short for food on the go) is ready-made meals in vending machines located at a lounge space in Wells, Maine. But New Year's Eve was the last day for that location. Marina DeMarco who owns FOTOGO has a big idea and is branching out.

 What is FOTOGO?

I'm sure you've seen vending machine food before, but nowadays it's a whole lot different than a bag of chips. Marina DeMarco's FOTOGO was a new healthy food-to-go shop and lounge space. The refrigerated vending machines had grab-and-go food that was nutritious. I know. Vending machines and nutritious? Yup. And she wants to go nationwide.

You can operate a food vending machine without the need for a physical retail location.

With the vending machines in Wells, Marina also had a space to eat and relax. But not enough people took advantage of that. No problem, because the future of FOTOGO doesn't need a space to relax. Marina told Seacoast Online,

The machines have no requirement for retail locations, and they never have. They were designed for bustling environments such as apartment buildings, fitness centers, airports, and medical facilities—essentially any place where individuals gather, pause, or are constantly on the move.

FOTOGO is just over a year old, and Marina knows that to close it and change the goal is a risk. But she's all in, even creating her own protein snack called PowerCreme. They will be included in the vending machines. It sounds amazing and comes as a snack or meal and has 25 grams of protein and 170 calories per serving. That's what you want in a quick snack! I think she may be on to something. She said it herself, telling Seacoast Online,

I don't see failure as an end; rather, I see it as a valuable learning experience.

We’re excited to share this experience with you!
