I love those... Good thing about them is when they go out of date take them home and stick them in the freezer. You can leave them there and 6 mo later they are still good.

 

I think I might have one in there.

Everybody talks about variety - but hey, give them what they want.  I've done this in a couple of machines to a slightly lesser extent.

That is a little unusual but not unheard of, I had accounts like that. Just wondering have you put in other pastries to see how they sell?

I once had a couple of locations that were halfway houses for excons and my best seller was honeybuns because that was the only pastry type item they got when they were locked up.

Big Texas sell great and very profitable, I was just setting up my click & pull at SAM's today and noticed they don't have them stocked anymore.  I hope its just a short term deal, I sell around 10 boxes/Week.  What price do you have your set at, im at $1.50

I've got an account I do the same thing at. I've tried every other pastry and NONE of them sell. One day I caved and filled the whole bottom shelf with Big Texas. Put four cases in at each service...

Funny how people get stuck on something.  The people of Hawaii eat more Spam than the rest of the country combined - it's a hold over from WWII when that was the only meat product available.  There's a whole series of Spam recipes.

Amen brother, I have an account that I put three rows of Lays Chips in and there might be two bags left each week

I love them however my pastry sells like this

1) chocolate cup cakes (sell 30 to 40 boxes a month)

2) honey buns (sell 25 to 40 boxes a month)

3) big tx sell (sell 20 to 30 boxes q month)

Then zingerx swll slow and i took off crunch donuts as they get mold that looks like spider webbs

So, just curious, are pastries that big a seller? I've been holding off cause I don't ever see them in machines here.

I suppose trying them out might not be a bad idea, what prices are you buying and selling at?

 

Soda in Summer and pastries in winter. Pastries sell very good when weather is bad and no one wants to go out in the weather. I would think pastries would sell very good in Canada?

You see that tray of Big Texas cinnamon rolls?  That's the best selling snack item in the country.  I'm still selling them at a dollar but prices are creeping up and I'll be at a buck and a quarter soon.

Where are you at growlie? I don't see them a lot around here either. At least in vending machines. I do see pastries on convenience store shelves but they are usually covered with a 1/4" of dust!

Dunkin's has the pastry market cornered here.

I'm in Calgary Alberta. I haven't seen any at all, and believe me, I look at every single vending machine I come across. Just ask my wife(LOL).

I just bought an existing route, so I have plenty of leeway to play with the mix right now. And I guess if I put out 40 bucks and it doesn't work, I'm only out 40 bucks. But if it works........ money money money.

Down here in Georgia Big Texas ,Cheese Danish, pecan pies, and really any kind of pies apple, peach, pumpkin and any brand of honey bun sells good. I can buy the 3 oz. honey buns from Sam's and can sell them all day long for a $1 but cookies like Famous Amos and M and M are my slowest pastry. Pop Tarts and microwave popcorn sell good at my White Collar accounts.

Depends on your market I guess. For me, blue collar places only sell pastries....lol. Not even the chips as much.

I double up at least on the honey buns and cinnamon rolls. There's a few manufacturing places where I have five coils of honey buns and three of the Big Texas. Mmmm!

Growlie:

 

Give them a try. They will sell well at $1.50, but since it is a new item start at $!.75. It will save you having to raise the price so soon. You should also try the Duchess honey buns.
