PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vending machine having a simple product storage rack that stores products having a hook at a tap and stably dispenses a product, to reduce cost. SOLUTION: The vending machine includes: slanted product storage racks each provided with product support rack members each hanging a pouch product by its own weight to be stored, and each having a product dispensing mechanism in a rear end part. The product dispensing mechanism 34 has a stopper member 42 having a first locking part 433 that locks a sales product at one end and having a second locking part 434 that locks a next sales product at the other end. The stopper member 42 performs iterative operation such that the second locking part 434 is retracted from a product storage passage when the first locking member 433 enters the product storage passage to lock the sales product, and that the second locking part 434 enters the product storage passage to lock the next sales product when the first locking member 433 is retracted from the product passage, so that the product can be stably dispensed.
