engineer1984 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I will be based out of Utah for a while. Finally, a permanent place : ) After months of reading this forum and other articles about vending, I'm concerned Utah is one of the exact wrong states to try and vend soda and chips due to the strong Mormon beliefs. Reading articles online, I'm not sure if Mormonism accepts caffeine or not. It looks like it is up in the air. Any members here that live and vend in Utah? Anyone know someone that does? Any knowledge of vending in the SLC area? I searched for Utah in the forums and came up empty handed.

AZVendor Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 There is a large contingent of the Mormon faith here in the Phoenix area, mostly in the east parts of the valley. There is no problem selling vending products to Mormons, but I never placed any machines in the churches buildings, either. Don't worry about caffeine too much, there are alot of jack Mormons. Call up some of the vending companies operating there and inquire about their offerings to typical locations. You might find that they don't have any trouble selling soda or chocolate.

caserri Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Here are our known members from Utah. I'm sure there are more but these two are the only ones who specified their state in their profile... Barnettvending Wheelermj --Steven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moondog Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Aside from the many jack Mormons, there are a lot of non-Mormons in Utah. I wouldn't let this deter you - aside from their unusual beginnings, you'll find Mormons to be everyday folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
engineer1984 Posted November 14, 2013 Author Share Posted November 14, 2013 Thanks for the responses. It's good to know that it doesn't seem to have an effect on sales. Is there a way to search for members by location or is this an admin only thing? I've had Mormon friends in Houston and they are the nicest people in the world. Nothing bad to say.

caserri Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Is there a way to search for members by location or is this an admin only thing? Yes you can. Please see the following thread. It only works if members voluntarily list their state in their profile though. http://www.vendiscuss.net/index.php?/topic/17433-member-operator-locations-on-here --Steven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
