sprint54fan Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I have alot of bars..I usually do gum and skittles as cashews are expensive and also draw bugs if they dont sell quick.. gum/skittles do well for me.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLM Vending Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 i wouldnt do gum in bars because they get drunk and spit it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metro Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I have a bar with an 800 triple in it with peanuts, PMM and Cashews. It grosses about $200 a month. More during football season. I am going to replace the peanuts and try Super sour stuff like Cry Baby Tears. Will let you know how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerformaVending Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Every time I try and locate at a bar, the owners typically want an unreasonable amount. Usually they want money up front, and act like they're doing me a favor. However, if you can find a bar that will work with you, go for it! I hear they do well.

antoniocinisi Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I have 2 locations with cashews.I just switched one of them to .50 cents yesterday.I went from .5 ounce vend to .7,the max a northwestern wheel will vend,so they get a little more for double the money.in hindsight I wouldnt go with expensive cashews,I would try peanuts instead.

treadmill Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 i wouldnt do gum in bars because they get drunk and spit it out Isn't that what you are supposed to do when you are finished chewing it. On a serious note I've had gumballs and candy along with nuts in a bar. The gum sold well along with the chocolate candy. Reese pieces even sold well. Cashew sold alright. The problem I had was that most bars already sell nuts and you are taking away from their business. I didn't sell enough cashews to make it worth my time.

dperry Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 We also get back to the discussion of how salted nuts will corrode metal machines. This is where ashlands and vendstars come in handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PerformaVending Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I have had good luck with hot tamales and chewy sprees. Where do you find Chewy Sprees? I can't find them anywhere, let alone for vending. Maybe it's a regional thing. I agree though, Hot Tamales sound like they would do well in a bar.

The wholesaler I use for my candy "hadn't heard of them" when I asked about them. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metro Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Wizard, PMM Is still the top seller in the bar. I average about 260 servings per month for PMM and approx. 170 servings per month for Cashews.I read what JLM wrote about Almonds, but i can't find them. Antonio has a good idea about .50. I have a couple of .50 mechs so I might try that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antoniocinisi Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I am going to convert my other locations that has cashews to .50 very soon. I will let you all know how it goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
