Rick Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Interesting. Looks like 251-500 is the wheelhouse for the serious full-timer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpvending Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Holy cow...some of you have a HUGE amount of machines. Are you doing this full time? Or part time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedvender Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 The larger the route usually the longer the service cycle. Unless you have someone run the the route. I plan on getting up to around 150 or so spots. when I hit around 100 I will probably Transition to a 6 week service cycle rather then a 4 week. Right now I am doing a 4 week service cycle. At 6 weeks I figure I could still run 150-200 one day a week and do it on a 6 week cycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronsidney Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Does anyone know how many heads Service vending or H&R candy operates? I think the number are a lot bigger than that...i think folz was over a million machines worldwide when he sold out.. I know some charity guys that used to operate 15000 or more heads and they where not near the biggest,one guy i met from chattanooga with 15K heads had average of 3.50 a month so you can see that bigger isn't always better.. I had over a thousand heads before i got out of doubles and singles and went to racks,,,Made 10 times more money with my first 50 cranes than i did with 1000 plus bulk heads ,,about the same service time though?? I only serviced my bulk heads about every 3 months,,and like i told somebody once i could work really hard and service them all in a about 2 weeks and take a 3 month vacation..cant do that with cranes . so its all about locating and what you want...I love locating and I'm good at it so really the gum ball machines would have made more sense..but i really didn't want to drive 250 miles out like i was with singles and doubles.. I think service told me they had 80,000 locations,,so thats probably times 6 on average head count.. ron www.blazingquarters.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiley Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 At his peak Folz had 170,000 machines. Somewhat less when he sold. Service is approximately the same size as Vendomatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rxmark Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 We started with zero last march now we have over 2000 heads out there mostly candy. I am moving towards cranes now to maximize our potential. We are just a two person operation both of us do it part time as we have full time jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronsidney Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 really?? i mean i don't know for sure just listening to people talk.. Like once at NBVA someone said "Folz in biggest operator with over 100K machines on location." and Roger folz spoke up and said that it was over a million worldwide... I don't know if he was just joking or what ,maybe i missed the joke,,i took it for what was said. I was gonna sell my bulk vending route a couple years ago and Tyler sumner contacted me about it and he mentioned he serviced 80K locations ,,maybe he meant machines.. Kovens from a&a told me at BOSS several years ago in baltimore that service was the most profitable bulk vending operator in America and that was when FOLZ was still in business.. Mainly because of overhead i imagine as they have no debt and they only operate out of one office for entire country.. ron www.blazingquarters.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one office services around the 30 states that they operate in. But their drivers will lie and tell locations that they operate coast to coast. A few years ago they took on 750,000 in debt to purchase new machines and gain new locations. Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick505 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I have seen a nice looking rack owned by them in a VERY rural NM grocery store. I guess they do not only run those ugly victor 77's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
