Luke Adams
President
Pioneer Vending


Luke Adams, the current owner of Pioneer Vending in Cincinnati, Ohio, represents the fourth generation of ownership for the company. Established by Luke's great-grandfather in 1909, Pioneer Vending has evolved from its origins as a street route business to a multifaceted player in the out-of-home entertainment industry. While the street route business remains the core, the company also specializes in beverage systems, ATMs, unattended game rooms, and Family Entertainment Centers. Over the past 15 years, Pioneer has undergone significant growth, expanding rapidly through strategic acquisitions. What began as a route exclusively serving the Cincinnati market has transformed into a multi-state organization with a dedicated team of over 60 employees, catering to over 1,800 customers across Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, and Ohio. Luke currently serves as President of the AMOA and is the former President of the Ohio Coin Machine Association (OCMA). Luke is married with an 8 year-old daughter and a 5 year-old son (and loves every minute!). He calls Cincinnati home. He is a diehard Xavier Musketeers basketball fan, a hopeless Cincinnati Reds fan, and a member of the Bills Mafia during the NFL season.
