Agapevending Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I have a route in Waco TX. That does ok. I also have some machines at home that i need to get back out next year. But I have been thinking about looking into a city 30 miles NE of me. and see what I can find. with Gas running at around 3 dollars a gal. would it be profitable to place machines in different town?

TKK Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I think its obviously going to depend on What the the town makes you. If you get crappy locations then no. also depends how many machines u have.now not to sound rude but this is stuff only YOU will be able to answer. We dont know how much your gas is your vehicle your schedule and especially what those locations will bring you. At 30 miles you should put atleast 30 machines. Say each one makes you 15 thats 450. Get decent locations at 30 each thats 900. If thats worth it then id say go for it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dperry Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I have a route in Waco TX. That does ok. I also have some machines at home that i need to get back out next year. But I have been thinking about looking into a city 30 miles NE of me. and see what I can find.with Gas running at around 3 dollars a gal. would it be profitable to place machines in different town? I live near Houston, and I have locations all over the area. I usually do over 100 miles round trip when I service one of my routes. I drive 40 miles just to get to my 9 to 5. If it were me, I wouldn't hesitate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk hey do you guys have quick and dirty way to estimate revenue from these kinda places. Ive been hitting up laundromats trying to place my crane what ive noticed all the ones in my town and surrounding towns are very small mats maybe 12-15 machines ...no vending racks just a gumball machine and maybe a few broken arcade games. Do you guys even bother with these size laundromats or pass them by just wondering if im wasting my time trying to get my cranes in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing is with matts make sure they have an attendant. Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
