GGs STAR VENDING Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I keep seeing most vendors are turning away from snack vending... i only see the big companies working the snack vending lines and they do a poor job if that at maintaining the machines. Our company does do snack vending but we are so small in the industry we just cant keep up anymore and wanna hear from fellow vendors what you all think.... Is Snack Vending A Dying Trade?

EdsVending Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 not with me. I make lots if cash snack vending. If you have a pop machine somewhere you might as well put a snack machine there and double your money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Snack Vending A Dying Trade? for good soda accounts you need snacks keep the competition out, for 100 month locations with can pop machines... forget it. not with me.

Ya they do slow you down a bit but are well worth it. I think half my accounts would boot me out if I didn't have snack and coffee machines.

AZVendor Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 While it's possible to be a soda-only vendor, you'll be turning down too many locations if you refuse to do snacks. Just make sure you're targeting quality stops that can support a snack and then use only reliable equipment and maintain it properky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was reffering to the might as well part... not worth doing snacks in a low performing account Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdsVending Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I bought a route that had 26 locations that was predominately a soda route. I think four locations had snack machines. I added about 15 snack machines and the route is booming now. It does take a lot longer to complete though. I used to knock out about 12 stops in 6 hours-can't do that anymore. My feeling has always been if your going to service it and pull out $100 why not put a snack and pull $150. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidStateVending Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Uh no... I net 50-75% COGS on snack machines, with the occational expired product. I make a living on snack machines primarily, and then drink machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
