Demand that follows the semester
Student housing near ASU's Tempe campus doesn't have steady, year-round traffic. Restocking based on actual demand is built for that.
Move-in week
Fall move-in runs in mid-August, with classes starting days later. New residents haven't found their routines yet, and a Smart Store in the lobby or lounge is an easy first stop.
Late nights, early classes
Midterms and finals mean late study sessions. 24/7 access covers a midnight break and a quick bite before an early class.
Winter break and restart
Many residents leave for winter break, then the building refills when spring classes start in January. Restocking can follow both swings.
Summer heat, fewer residents
Fewer residents stay through the summer, and the ones who do want something cold. Service can scale with demand in quiet months.
Timing is based on ASU's published academic and housing calendars. Modern Family Vending is not affiliated with Arizona State University.
A close-to-home option for residents near campus
Tempe's off-campus student housing is spread around downtown and Mill Avenue, along Apache Boulevard and the light rail line, and out into the neighborhoods south of campus. Plenty of residents get around on foot, by bike or by rail, so a late-night store run can mean a long walk.
A Smart Store in a common area gives residents drinks, snacks, frozen meals and ice cream without leaving the building. For your team, it's one more amenity to list, with no added work.

Do you serve student housing in Tempe?
Yes. Tempe is part of our Phoenix area service area. Request a free assessment and we'll confirm for your property.
What is a Smart Store?
A Smart Store is our fully managed, 24/7 self-checkout setup of MicroMart AI smart coolers, plus a MicroMart smart freezer when you want frozen meals and ice cream. We install, stock, service and maintain it at no cost to qualifying properties.
Is a self-checkout Smart Store secure?
Yes. The cooler door unlocks only after a shopper taps or inserts a payment card or phone, and AI cameras inside the cooler recognize the products taken. Closing the door ends the visit, and the card is charged only for what was taken.
How many smart coolers does our property need?
It depends on how many residents use the space, your layout and the products you want. A Smart Store can be a single smart cooler or several side by side, with or without a MicroMart smart freezer. We size it for our property during the free assessment.
Are you affiliated with Arizona State University?
No. Modern Family Vending is an independent, locally operated Arizona business. This page is for off-campus student housing properties in Tempe.
What does it cost the property?
Nothing for qualifying properties. Equipment is installed, stocked, serviced and maintained at no cost to qualifying properties.
What can residents buy?
Refrigerated drinks and snacks, plus frozen meals and ice cream when a MicroMart smart freezer is part of your Smart Store. We don't stock anything age-restricted.
How does restocking handle move-in, breaks and summer?
Our inventory monitoring shows product levels and purchasing trends, so we schedule restocking based on actual demand. Service can follow busy and quiet periods like semester starts, finals, winter break and summer.
When can residents use it?
Anytime. Residents have 24/7 access.
