The problem

Running a growing business from a spare bedroom was straining logistics, and personal life.

The solution

Climate control, 24/7 entry, loading docks, and scalable spaces.

The results

Scaled operations by 3x, added employees, and now runs a thriving vending business from a professional HQ.

Meet Texas Snack Company

The business behind the growth.

Texas Snack Company is a micro-market vending business founded by Jeff Crowder, a former corporate employee turned entrepreneur, installing snack markets and vending machines in break rooms across Texas. With a rotating inventory needing climate control and a growing team, they needed a professional, flexible space that felt like a real HQ without the real estate headache.

Before WareSpace

hustling from home

Texas Snack began at home, literally in a spare bedroom. The space was cramped, deliveries were hard to manage, and boundaries between work and home life were almost non-existent, with employees arriving at the house at 4am.

Traditional warehouse options were 2 to 3x what a startup could afford and often lacked climate control, a dealbreaker for storing chocolate.

“Most of what we saw was non-climate controlled, and if you're storing chocolate, that's a dealbreaker. The cost was 2 to 3x what we could afford as a startup.”
Jeff Crowder, Texas Snack Company

Making the Switch

the right fit at the right time

WareSpace was the perfect in-between: more professional and scalable than home, but more accessible and flexible than traditional commercial space, with loading docks, ramps, carts, reliable internet, and shared equipment.

They started in a unit about the size of a bedroom and leveled up to a mid-sized unit, then a much larger space, with the team helping them move each time.

The story

Looking ahead: scaling smart

Texas Snack now runs a full-fledged operation with a growing team, expanded inventory, and a strong customer base, and they're already eyeing more space. Growing within the building means expansion without disruption.

A surprising bonus was the community of like-minded business owners sharing events, lunches, and help.

“My favorite part about WareSpace is the ability to easily expand as we grow. We're currently in our third unit. We started in a very small one that was the size of a bedroom. We hadn't finished our lease, but it was no big deal to increase our unit size when we had a growth spurt.”
