dapreachaman Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 i was just in a sandwich shop close to a high school and jr hi school. it is crazy busy during the week and does not have a candy machine. I asked about it and was offered the spot. Now my problem. I am visiting the in-laws and it is one hour one way to get to this location. It would probably empty a 3 head every month if not sooner. i would have to be here once a month minimum and I have no other machines in the area. what would you do?

pdavid Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 I'd work on getting some more machines in the area to make the trip worthwhile. Can you get any sticker/toys in there as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dapreachaman Posted December 30, 2008 Author Share Posted December 30, 2008 the store is very small and triple would be the limit of what could fit. might could do a small rack but i do not have any racks and would not invest to get into one store. i should take a weeks vacation and come here and build a large route.

tedk Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 I'd ask trhe in-laws about servicing it or at least checking it periodically. If the don't want to service it they could at least tell you when you need to come by. Ted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluePlate Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 I have one location far away, does really good. I have a setup where the owner can fill the candy, but not get the money. I get there every 3 months. The location gets 50% net. OR put a few more locations near this. If you have 3 empty heads a month on this location, that's about $200 gross.

dapreachaman Posted December 30, 2008 Author Share Posted December 30, 2008 true about the money just time to get here and not be bad at service which is why they dont have machine person didnt service in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer980 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Those machines can hold a lot of money and product. I would fill it to the top and see how it goes after a month. You could get a small rack and duplicate the product using two triples. You can put a double triple in if you need to but I would try the triple first.

mwinn33 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 I have a machine far away also but am trying to place more machines on the way to that machine, so it makes the trip worthwhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dapreachaman Posted January 1, 2009 Author Share Posted January 1, 2009 good idea mwinn i have two cities between me and this location and it could be worthwhile to capture some of the locations along the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
