I'm trying to put  machines in the small town I live in. But I'm having a tough time.  The places I  thought of that might be  some hot locations . didn't pan out. I'm thinking about the bank but I'm not sure how that would go.  Has any one  every  put one in a bank? Did it do well? Or should

The bank of america i use had an anteres machine. I spoke with my contact and they were not happy with it. So, I replaced it with a 3 wide snack and a can satilite. When I bought my vendstars, I noticed the tripple near the front door.

It always looked the same. 2 empty columns and a few chickle tabs in the middle. One day I walked in and it was gone. I put a vendstar in its place. It has gumballs(the only gumball wheel I have), PMM, and Cashews. IT did over $40 the first month.

I plan to change out the cashews for skittles next time around

Banks can do well, but are very volatile.  At some point a regional manager or corporate auditor will boot you.  Also the merger/acquisitions of banks are usually bad for vendors.  I had a chain of 9 bank branches at the old Washington Mutual and lost 8 of them in one week due to corporate auditors.  At one one point I had about 12 branches in 3 different bank companies and have lost them all.  I am not saying to not due banks, just expect a phone call some day to remove them.

The best banks are the ones that attract families and Washington Mutual was always packed with hispanic families and they even had a play area for the kids!  The machines did very well for many years and averaged $80 to $100 per month.  It was a beautiful think while it lasted.  On the other hand, banks that cater to retired people in established neighborhoods usually due poorly - but even those banks kicked me out!
