G-man422 Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Welcome to Vendiscuss Touhey! Read "The vending Jackpot". Great book and lots of useful info. But don't buy it, you can read it for free in the members Pluss section once you post 20 quality posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jax Snacks Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 "Vending Success" by Bill Way would be one place to start. It's not an all-inclusive vending book, but he does focus on bulk candy vending. The only thing I didn't like is that that he endorses 8-select U-turns (and distributes them as well). He also does not mention capsule toy vending either. But I found it to be informative and a good place to start. You can get that book and others on amazon.com - search on vending. Happy reading!

touhey33 Posted June 3, 2008 Author Share Posted June 3, 2008 Thanks alot, Im hoping to supplement my income, and then go full time with in the next 5 or so years. I love the lawn care business, but Im afraid when I get older I won't be able to keep doing it. Theres also the fact I can't work in the winter. This business seems right up my ally and it seems to be a growing business. Thanks again for the replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
