bayouvending Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Does anyone use the five hour energy vending machines? Do they do anything seems like a very specific product to sell. I could see them doing good in very large locations like a college library or large factories or chemical plants. Just wondering if anyone has any and what kind of sales they did?

AZVendor Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 They are generally overpriced biz op machines that you can't make much money off of. You are better off putting Red Bull or Monster in your machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CajunCandy Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 bayouvending like AZ said you would be better off vending monster energy out of a can/bottle machine. Sams have it for $31 a case, sell for $2.25 a can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moondog Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Yep, I tried 5 hour in my snack machines awhile back - very slow seller. I'm doing about 40 cases a month in Monster greens - it would take me 10 years to sell that much 5 hour energy. Those little machines look like they could grow legs pretty easy.

moondog Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 40 cases of Monster a month? I am impressed! About 2 cases/month for me. Yep, and I still run dry - it's just two accounts that do all the damage, the rest of them could care less about the Monsters. Tomorrow morning I'll pick up another 6 cases and I won't have any left by the end of the day. I'd pick up more but these two accounts will also need about 10 club packs of Coke as well as all the other stuff so I'm short on space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CajunCandy Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 40 cases of Monster a month? I am impressed! About 2 cases/month for me. Yes that is impressive. I'm doing five to six a month in two machines. I don't touch the stuff myself, a couple of cups of coffee in morning and I'm ready! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't touch the stuff myself, a couple of cups of coffee in morning and I'm ready! I have never had a cup of coffee. I could not stand the smell of coffee as a kid (still don't like the smell). I'm addicted to Mcdonalds sweet tea. Keeps me going! I'm moving a glass front combo into an account replacing a bottler asset. I'm really doing it to offer Red Bull. I get asked on a weekly basis for it. They have Monster now. It is a real slow mover there. We shall see how it works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm like a twenty four volt battery if I drink one glass of tea! I cannot answer this, I just know from experience! So I just stay away from it! I get more people asking for monster (green).

Where do you get the Monster from? Sams? 136 in October I can't picture you going to Sams to get 136 cases of Monster so I am assuming that you are getting it delivered by someone. I've asked Coke & Pepsi if they carry it but they tell me they don't. I asked a local convenience store & they told me it was distributed through Coors. I've read that it is made by Hansen Natural Corporation but who actually distributes it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZVendor Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Monster is usually distributed by regional bottlers that are generally not affiliated with Coke or Pepsi, as then have their own energy brands. Whomever the distributor is in your area, you should be able to get it from them as they are stocking distributors. If it's the local Coors distributor in your area then you should be able to contact them to get the product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
