kdub3821 Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Got a location at a big tire/repair shop in town. They already have a snack and soda machine. I'm wondering if this location is worth messing with. I use u turn terminators with toys gum and candy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherlock Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Doesn't matter what any of us say. The truth is: there is only ONE way to find out...Get your equipment in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdub3821 Posted December 14, 2013 Author Share Posted December 14, 2013 I would normally but a paid locator got this for me. I'm trying to get my money's worth. I just wanted to know from someone who has put a bulk machine in a snack/soda area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GagesVending Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 I see adding a bulk machine to a location with snack and soda already as a good sign! It tells me that since it requires a certain level of turnover in order to support them; means at least some people there use the vending machines. I have many locations with my candy machines which have full line vending there as well. Not sure that toys would do well; but you never know!

sprint54fan Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 I place bulk beside snack and soda all the time.. they do well..especially in nursing home break rooms..wow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orsd Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 If you ever want to get into full line this is great for you because tire shops are great leaning accounts and by getting the bulk you might also be able to convince them to do soda with you too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makes Cents Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Tire shops are usually good for gum & candy sales because they have a captive audience sitting with nothing to do but wait. The other good thing is you can use that placement to get different tire stores, especially if its a franchise. Its a really good way to locate. Once you set-up, ask the owner/manager if they have another friend with a shop who would benefit from your service. With this type of locating you can turn one location into 2-3.

kdub3821 Posted December 15, 2013 Author Share Posted December 15, 2013 I just started full line this year. I did think the bulk machine might get me in the door. Thanks everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
