T BIRD Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 what is the cost for a location? thanks , bdig36 Here ya go.............Just to clarify things for everyone Midwest is still in business and owned by Jackie, I am Jacklyn I used to manage Midwest but unfortunately I no longer work for Midwest. Central Locators is my business and we are not affiliated with Midwest. Central Locators company policy is as follows: For candy locations including single, double, and triple heads they are $55 per machine. Gumball and dentyne ice locations are $60 per machine. Our guarantees are in effect for 90 days after purchasing the locations, we guarantee $10-12 monthly for single head machines $12-15 monthly for double heads and $15-20 monthly for triple heads. If for any reason you have to remove your machine or the location does not produce we will find a replacement for you. Our turnaround times are expected to be 1-2 weeks depending on how many locations are purchased Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Central Locators Posted July 10, 2009 Author Share Posted July 10, 2009 Eventually we will expand our services to offer a larger variety but for now we are going to stick to bulk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurtsman Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 When you worked at midwest, who was in charge of locating commission racks? Is that person still with Midwest? When you say gumballs are 60$, and that's more than a double, are you talking about any form of special gumball machine? It seems weird that a gumball/skittles double would be cheaper than a single gumball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antoniocinisi Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 does $60 include machines such as oscars wild ride and wowie zowie,since these are pretty easy to find locations for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T BIRD Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 does $60 include machines such as oscars wild ride and wowie zowie,since these are pretty easy to find locations for?You really think those two machines you mentioned are as easy as a straight up gumball machine?

nam Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 When I walk into a location and there's already a rack, spiral and sticker/tattoo I'm really glad I've got Wowies too! So often the locations already have more machines than they really should have anyway. What am I gonna say if they're happy with their current machines - gee, would you like another spiral or maybe a second sticker/tattoo machine? The majority of these locations already have so many of those machines I wouldn't put another one in if they asked for it. Actually, I can't see how some of these locations make any money with so many machines similar or just like the ones every other business has down the street. I'd much rather have something completely different! nam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powertechvending22 Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 well i just like to report that i used central locators and received my locations quickly and am happy for the service and plan on using them in the next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Central Locators Posted July 14, 2009 Author Share Posted July 14, 2009 Any machines that contain gumballs are higher in price due to the fact that in my 4 years of locating experience they are harder to place then any candy machine. A lot of location owners either don't want the employees to chew gum or they get concerned about the mess gum makes. If anyone has any further questions give us a call at (417) 832-8758.

Jax Snacks Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 I believe it has more to do with commission versus charity. Machines that size would require a commission in most cases. Commission locating is simply not their gig. Charity locating is their specialty and focus. I have seen many of these Wowie's come and go. Most restaurants I have been in have had them removed - too much space and not enough return for the location. A crane takes up the same amount of space and will usually return a whole lot more to the location. There is a convience store near me where a Wowie was abandoned! I am using that as a gateway to get a rack in there after they throw the Wowie into the dumpster! Jax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antoniocinisi Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I`d be camping near that dumpster!! just because a machine is abandoned doesn`t always mean the vendor did it intentionaly, or vending wasn`t for him,maybe the guy died who knows.thats the only way I would abandon a machine. I wasn`t aware thaT the ladies are focusing on charity locations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurtsman Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I'd be interested in that dumpster 2. I would ask if I could lend them some muscle and a pick up to help move it from the front to the dumpster. We can load it into the pick up together, and I'll take care of the rest by myself so they don't have to waste valuable time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Central Locators Posted July 30, 2009 Author Share Posted July 30, 2009 This comment is to all existing customers of Central Locators. We would appreciate all feedback negative or positive, just to ensure our quality of service. I would also like to offer a promotional deal for any vendors in the central time zone, due to time restrictions we need more business in the central time zone. Now through August 7th we will honor a $5 discount per location good for up to 10 locations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurtsman Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Does that mean your price for a triple is taken all the way down to 40$? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cavity Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Anyone hear from Central lately? I ordered a few spots several weeks ago, have emailed and received no reply yet. I guess I'll give them another week or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
