A product support and dispensing assembly has a product support and display assembly within the dispenser housing assembly and a product dispensing assembly within the main support housing assembly and interconnected to each other. The product support and display assembly has a plurality of product support and anchor assemblies operable to have various vertically spaced dispensing levels, each having a plurality of lollipop members supported by an outer end of respective lollipop support sticks and presented in a radial wheel fashion. The product dispensing assembly includes a plurality of spaced motor drive assemblies, each connected to a respective gear drive assembly to selectively rotate the product support and anchor assembly to dispense a lollipop member therefrom under the force of gravity. A product accounting and control assembly includes a product trip lever assembly operable, on receiving a lollipop member thereagainst, to actuate a product actuator switch assembly which then de-energizes an entire electrical control circuit to cease power drain on a power source being rechargeable battery members. A timer circuit controls actuation of a drive motor member so that, if a lollipop is not present on the product support and anchor assembly, then the user can select another dispensing level so that a lollipop member is always dispensed.
