Welcome!

For full line vending, you can't go wrong with "Automatic Merchandiser". You can subscribe for free at...

https://cygweb4.cygnuspub.com/Secure/Subscriptions/Sub_form.cfm?iPub_Code=245

Or just visit their site at www.amonline.com

They have yearly state of the industry reports and other great information on full line vending products and services.

As for a website, I may be a bit biased but I think you've already found the best one for learning about the business from those who have been where you are now. Plus you have the added benefit of interactivity with one another here.

Once you get 20 posts, you will have access to our PLUS section with much more information and tools to help you grow your business. Most of it is geared towards bulk but there are also some full line tools as well.

A little well deserved self promotion.

You might want to look at the Vending Times. Available in print and online.

Look up your state vending association as well, it should be relatively inexpensive and they can help you keep up to date with legislative issues that impact our industry. The national association is NAMA www.vending.org
