caserri Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 As expected, we have all seen the fallout of major players from the WalMart lobby's. Here is a seller on eBay letting some equipment go for cheap. Be sure to check out his other items. Click HERE to view auction! Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joebob051977 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 What happened with the big players at WalMart? I noticed that the wall was open. I've been looking at that big ol' rack everytime I go into the store and then....Wham! it's gone! Makes me feel opportunistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
West Coast Vend LLC Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 JoeBob, Here's a post from a few months ago. Wal-Mart Reportedly Reduces Contracted Operators BENSENVILLE, AR — Last week, Wal-Mart issued notices to most of the estimated 25 operating companies that currently serve its 4,141 locations, stating that their services will not be required after April 30, at which time they must remove all equipment on location. Reportedly, some of the largest operators who will lose these accounts have routes comprising around 1,000 pieces of equipment in 300 stores. Jon LeMire, Wal-Mart's director of new business development, advised that the change of policy was a "difficult decision," but ultimately said: "Please remove all equipment from Wal-Mart premises by April 30, 2008." Sources close to the story said the retail giant has decided to contract all of its amusement services from three vendors: Sega, Namco and Coinstar. Separately, Coinstar said it will move or remove about half of its cranes, bulk vending machines and kiddie rides from Wal-Mart stores and other retailers, citing "macro-economic trends negatively affecting the entertainment service industry." At the same time, the national operator said it will "significantly increase" the volume of Redbox DVD kiosks and coin-counting machines at these locations. Coinstar reported Q4 gross revenue of $133.3 million and a net loss of $37.2 million. For fiscal 2007, the company said it lost $22.2 million on revenues of $546.3 million Just a note from Vending times, Good luck John Zeke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
