The vending machine business

[justinacolmena]

Did you buy your machines or lease them? Who handles the maintenance? How do you handle the kick-back?

That's enough. There's a Mob and an extortion racket already.

My vending machines are at bus terminals, hotels, motels and and grocery stores.

High traffic areas...OK...who can I call? What questions do I ask? (to place MY machines into THEIR buildings)

 

[Thunk]

If OP has an "inside" person who gets his machines into buildings...THEN MORE POWER TO HIM!

Often it is NOT WHAT YOU KNOW BUT WHO YOU KNOW!

I'm OK with that...it's the way of the world!

But please...clue us in on how to get the machines into high traffic areas (?)

Vending machines are lucrative, but I always heard there was already organized crime in charge. Although I suppose that would not be too bad if they were reasonably priced? Some protection might be worth paying for?

Man, that's one Helluva route!

How long have you been doing this?

I started 2 years ago.
It's a long drive but I like it

As one who enjoys long drives but in nicer, more comfortable, etc. vehicles, I can’t imagine what that route’s like in a U-Haul!

Applaud your entrepreneurial spirit and dedication to hard work, so go get ‘em and best of luck to you.

How do you get your vending machine into their building? Do you pay them rent or a fee?

That's a good question. What's to prevent them from locksmithing and re-keying the vending machine in their building and finding someone else to stock it and service it at a more affordable rate?

My guess is that would only last a week before the authorities were notified.

Or a building gets burned to the ground...

I remember when you could get a pack of cigarettes for a quarter in a vending machine.

I remember when you could get a pack of cigarettes for a quarter in a vending machine.

I remember when you would see them, just thinking of that this week
