The present invention is directed to a display panel for use in combination with two vending machine units. The vending machine units are positioned in a side-by-side arrangement and are bolted and operatively connected together to act as a single unit. The two vending machine units are controlled by a single coin mechanism which will enable an individual to select a primary product or one of a plurality of secondary products which are dispensed from either the first vending machine unit or the second vending machine unit. The display panel extends completely across the width dimension of both units and includes a logo thereon. A first vending machine unit includes an enlarged primary product selection button with the same product identification positioned thereon as the display panel and is disposed directly adjacent to a coin insertion slot. The second vending machine unit includes a plurality of secondary product selection buttons which are displaced away from the primary product selection button and the coin insertion slot of the first vending machine unit. Because of the large logo which appears on the display panel and the enlarged primary product selection button containing the same product identification and being disposed directly adjacent to the coin insertion slot, the attention of a potential consumer is attracted to effect a sale of the primary product.
