I am doing full line vending but have had a ton of requests for different types of candy,gum etc is there somewhere besides sams I can get a large amount of candy in bulk to place in candy machines?

As with any food product you should be concerned with freshness (and the lack of) for your products. Stale product will cost you. Most bulk vendors buy from local sources if the prices are good, like the Sams, Costco, or BJ's.

Plus... A lot of 'specialty' candie are going to destroy your bottom line. I mean when you think of bulk vending... you think M&M's. Mike and Ike. Reeses Pieces. Gum. Not Kit Kat Nuggets, or Salami On A Stick.

Plus.... I noticed when one of my accounts specifies a candy THEY want, it does no better (sometimes even worse) than the rotation I put them on.

"Oooh! I really like XXX. Can you get those?"

"No. And you never will. Don't you ever ask me that again. Consider yourself lucky to even get any candy. You get a pretty machine AND get to help kids with cancer AND get to see my smiling face once a month. Don't push your luck."

OK... So maybe it doesn't go down QUITE like that...... But keep the candy normal. Stuff you can get without chewing up your BL too much!
