mppuzzled Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 So I have purchased a few racks and machines. I am having the hardest time finding a decent location for them! I have been targeting Ma and Pa Grocery stores, big grocery stores, Laundry Mats. Party stores all seem to want them but they are so small and my current Party Store location is awful! My biggest problem while locating is the crazy percentage amounts they are ALL asking for or claiming they already get! 50-60 percent of the total amount collected! That seems to crazy to me and not worth it. Is this the normal amount that everyone pays or are they just fudging the numbers and telling them that that is what they are paying? I tried a locating company but they are just awful when it comes to racks. All the same thing, party stores only. Any tips or locating services that are good at getting racks in good locations? If I dish out the 50 percent, would that still be worth it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMD Snacks Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I'm in the same boat for racks. I think it's more a patience game than triples and doubles, in that, i'm working on my third location and it's taken several follow up calls, and visits to get it set up. My highest commission i'm offering is 30%. I would personally not dish out 50% but that's me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMD Snacks Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 30% of total collected (net) I haven't actually done a collection yet though. I stopped by my two locations and saw there was still plenty of product inside. Which, though a little disheartening, wasn't too bad since it's toys and they won't go bad lol. I chose 30% because I wanted to be competitive. For places I'm just gonna give a shot, I plan to start at 20% and add to if it seems like a place I won't wanna ever lose.

If I dish out the 50 percent, would that still be worth it? They could be bluffing. What I'd say is more likely is that their current vendor says that he gives them 50-60% but is likely deducting a flat percentage of the gross for product, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mppuzzled Posted July 26, 2016 Author Share Posted July 26, 2016 Well I decided to go with that theory since it seems every place in my town pays 50 percent. Was able to land 4 awesome locations for racks. Problem is I only had 2 racks. Is anyone on here selling any racks? Sure could use a couple before the owners change their minds. Thanks.

mppuzzled Posted July 26, 2016 Author Share Posted July 26, 2016 Looking for racks. 4 or 5 heads would be ideal. Trying to stick with Northwestern, Beaver or A&A Sent from my SM-N915V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuikVend Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Are you looking for complete racks or just the stands? I've got the stands by themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mppuzzled Posted July 26, 2016 Author Share Posted July 26, 2016 Oh. Complete racks. Sorry, I wasn't very clear. Sent from my SM-N915V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuikVend Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Ah, ok. Well if you end up needing just racks, I definitely have extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
