HustliN Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Hey guys, just joined a vending machine business here up in Canada. I ended up buying from a franchise show for 7 healthy vending machines ( Beautiful by the way)! I used up all my savings and had to borrow extra cash from my parents. I love it but its really hard work. I've been in business for about a month and barely making any money! Came here to introduce myself and say hi to all you folks! and hopefully learn from you guys on how to make my business more profitable. Thanks!

AZVendor Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Welcome to the forum and I really wish you success with your business. Here on the forum the veteran vendors that have been around the block a few times aren't too excited about healthy vending and you'll hear many comments to that effect. We regularly try to move people, especially newbies, away from that sector of the market or get them to just do the healthy segment on their own with their own graphics. I know the vending and health environment are different in Canada so I do hope that you are successful. If your machines are imported or from Seaga then you will experience problems with the machines and with parts support. If you have USI or AMS machines your fortunes will be better. Just the facts as I know them. Good luck and see you around the boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sneak in some of the more traditional non-healthy stuff if you want to make any money. This is not the way most of us would have advised that you get started - down here the streets are littered with failed healthy vending guys that dropped their life savings into a healthy vending biz op deal only to find that it's hard to find a location that will buy that stuff. Put some Doritos Nachos Cheese and Cheestos Crunchy packs in there and you'll quickly find out what they really buy. And once you get your head straight, those Healthy Vending graphics are pretty easy to peal off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
