Business Enterprises of Nevada (BEN)
Federal and State laws provide a priority right for individuals
who are legally blind to operate food, beverage, and vending
in federal, state and local public buildings. After qualifying with the
Nevada Bureau of Services to the Blind and Visually Impaired,
individuals receive training and on-the-job experience in managing and
operating snack bars, cafeterias, vending machine routes and other
businesses located in public buildings. Currently, there are 26 sites
operated by 23 operators who are blind throughout Nevada, with more sites under
construction.
