Some success this week. I picked up my first full-line placement - and Electric company that wants a soda machine ~50 employees. I purchased a refurbished can machine and will be having it moved in sometime next week. Also placed an honor box there.

I'm working on replacing some of the older mechanical machines I've acquired - especially the ones still set at $0.50. The hotel account I gained at the end of last week has an ancient electrical machine (early 80s model). I purchased a refurbished 4-wide with a DBV to replace it and plan to move the old machine to a truck stop where it will replace a $0.50 mechanical.

One of the accounts I gained last week is a mechanical machine that sells out 2-3 times each week. I'm having to service it every other day and at the present rate it will do over $200 for the month. I'd love to replace this with a full-size machine but there's not much room and the manager made it real clear to me he doesn't want a machine any bigger than the small mechanical one. I've considered an honor box (or two) but apparently the previous route owner had trouble with a mentally handicapped employee methodically destroying all the snacks so I'm not certain that would work well.

I received 4 locations from Metro Vending, and Pepsi has approved 2 of these and declined 1 (waiting on an answer for the 4th). They should be providing me with another 7 locations this upcoming week.
