guile Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Nice numbers on those "Hot" spots J!! A few questions. What are you vending at the Lowes and Olive Garden loc's? And did you get those spots from a locator? Also, what would you recommend is a good two head rig? Thanks, g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T BIRD Posted September 14, 2008 Author Share Posted September 14, 2008 Olive Garden is reeses and MMPs. Lowes is M&I and MMP. Northwestern Super 60 from Sam's Club is the way to go for a top quality machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guile Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 They seem to be terrific machines. I just picked up an 8 head NW super 60 myself. Aren't you also using some lypc machines? While I am a complete newbie in this business, I have always felt you get what you pay for. That's not to mean there aren't deals out there but personally, I prefer to use the best quality machines. Although I see a couple of deals out there for Vendstar 3000's, I just can't seem to pull the trigger. Even at $15 a pop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T BIRD Posted September 14, 2008 Author Share Posted September 14, 2008 I hear ya guile. I am with you. I do have 7 doubles out there made by LYPC. They have not given me any mechanical problems ( with the exception of one money drawer lock that had to be replaced ). But when the doubles are set up on the stand they are too unsteady in terms of the machine itself moves back and forth too much and does not sit firmly on the stand bracket especially when you turn the mech to get candy out. For what ever my reasons were, I felt compelled to try a bunch of different machines and manufacturers to see which one I wanted moving forward. Its definitely the NW 60.

T BIRD Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 My numbers went down in October. So far in November, they have taken a healthy turn upwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T BIRD Posted December 7, 2008 Author Share Posted December 7, 2008 Love your avatar kelly! I go thru a locator for all of these. And thanks! I just looked. My numbers are down average wise right now. I did not think they were down but they are. I went from averaging almost $29 per month for 2 heads per location to $26 per location. This is over 3 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T BIRD Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 My monthly average has dropped to around $25.00 per 2 head location. I collected $42.50 from one head vending 2 pieces of DI in a capsule. That's a high number for me with this product. Its a JC Penney breakroom.

T BIRD Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 Hi, R all these locs founded by Marjorie? R these triples? What are you tipping her anyway? T LOL! Very funny T. These locations and a few more are all part of a wonderful run I had in the summer with Midwest. They simply lucked out and found me some great spots T. Basically, all of these locations are doubles. I have several triples scattered around. But my highest money makers ( $50 per and over ) are all doubles with the exception of one Superpro triple.

new2this Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Thanks, Again, congrats on the great locs. I've noticed lately that my doubles do better than some of my triples. No more lugging around heavy triples, I am going to concentrate on doubles and try my hand at some more racks. Good job. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
