CardVault Is Adding Brady-Branded Vending Machines as It Opens Store No. 17

CardVault by Tom Brady is opening its 17th store location and launching Brady-branded vending machines as part of its continued retail expansion. The chain has been on an aggressive growth track through 2026, with confirmed openings in San Francisco, Austin, and Kansas City already in the books this year. The Kansas City location, which opened June 18 in the Power & Light District, brought the confirmed store count to 15 before this latest announcement.

Vending machines are a meaningful format shift for hobby retail. They lower the barrier to impulse buying, extend CardVault's reach beyond its store footprint into airports, malls, and arenas, and put Brady's brand directly in front of casual buyers who would never walk into a dedicated card shop. For the broader hobby, more physical retail infrastructure means more entry points — and more demand pressure on the product those machines will stock. The 17th-store milestone also signals that CardVault's expansion pace is not slowing; collectors in markets without a location yet have reason to watch where the chain goes next.
