Djstorman Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I put Takis into a hispanic location with young kids and not a single bag was purchased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allen watson Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 I don't sell them (Takis) but get asked for them all the time. I'm like, yeah, I hear they are pretty hot, then I move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get Takis at Candyman in 2 oz bags - usually do well in Hispanic accounts. I've never seen sweet potato chips, sounds like a Filipino thing.

Holy cow !!! $1.20 for a 1 oz bag - those must be awfully good. I doubt if I could sell them for what I'd need to price them at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mission vending Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Holy cow !!! $1.20 for a 1 oz bag - those must be awfully good. I doubt if I could sell them for what I'd need to price them at. When I was trying the healthy vending thing a couple of years ago that was one of the items I tried, they were around .80each through unfi but the minimum order probably makes it out of the question for you. If you have a whole foods nearby they get a lot of stuff through unfi and I was able to order some things through them, by the case you get a discount too. Not the way you want to run your business but for one or two speciality items to make the customer happy its worth the effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedk Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I didn't even look at the prices when I sent the link. I bought them at Costco for fifty-one or fifty-two cents a bag. I had the sweet potato and the multigrain. I preferred the multigrain but neither one of them where great sellers for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
