BBVendors Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I personally would just start off with a full size drink machine like a 501E and no snacks. Monitor your sales for about three months. If you have good success then start looking into snack options. The only reason I say that is because I've had gymnastic/dance accounts and they didn't do much volume even though there was a lot of traffic in and out of the place. That's just from my personal experience. You may be fine with drinks and snacks. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try and avoid placing any combo machine there - if the location is any good you'll work yourself to death keeping it stocked. I'd prefer to go Candyman's route and just put a good bottle machine in there until you know how much they'll actually use it. If it does a good volume ($400 a month or more) then you'd be wise to add the snack machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koversho Posted March 24, 2015 Author Share Posted March 24, 2015 Thanks fellas, very much. Im going to look into just the drink machine. I mistakenly gave the incorrect number above . They Gym receives 100+ girls daily. And that's a slow day. This is not counting the parents that's there as well. Summer time is double as many girls because of camps. They currently sell snacks and drinks but wants a easy way for the girls to get items. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CajunCandy Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 There is a place in Ft Worth/ Dallas, but their to darn expensive! Places in north Houston will sell you a decent machine if your willing to travel to go get. But will ship if your willing to pay shipping. Like moondawg says look on craigslist. http://houston.craigslist.org/bfd/4910713964.html cajun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
