jt13 Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 I'm looking at a route to buy and the guy says he buys his beverages at a wholesaler in dc which would be out of my way. Where do people typically buy their 20 oz bottles? Wholesale clubs or wholesale distributors. Anybody in here from Northern Virginia that knows of a good one?

mxer518 Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 20oz will have to come from the manufacturer such as Coke and Pepsi otherwise specialty vending supply company's such as vistar or vendor supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizugori Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 mxer where can I get products like vitamin water, gatorade, etc. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vendman0729 Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 You can buy gatorade, vitamin water e.t.c from whole sales distributors. I buy them from Sam's Club. You can buy 24 packs of gatorade and such. I prefer to vend cans if possible instead of 20 oz bottles. Cans you can buy from any where and wal-mart has them very cheap.

mizugori Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 Is there any way to get them cheaper, in larger quantities than 24 packs, but less than like a pallet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jt13 Posted June 12, 2010 Author Share Posted June 12, 2010 Thanks mxer; what does coke normally charge for the 20 oz coke on a per bottle basis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vendman0729 Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 I have 3 coke 3rd party machines in my area in NC. Their prices are rediculous. I have heard it varies in different areas so it would be important to find out in your area by contacting your local coke distributor. Coke charges me $10/case for cans which is over .40/can. At these prices, I don't even want to know the prices for the bottles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mxer518 Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 in my area under the gold buying program for volume it is a few cents over 15$ per case for 20oz main line products such as coke diet coke and sprite, a few dollars less a case if you are looking for flavors like fanta orange, vault, nestea, and other not as popular flavors.

Same for me. 15.69 for Coke, 13.67 for Fanta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mission vending Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 mxer where can I get products like vitamin water, gatorade, etc. ? Gatorade is available at places like Sam's or through your local Pepsi Bottler. Vitamin Water is also available through Sam's and other warehouse clubs but most of the time it is in mixed cases (two or more flavors), invariably one sells far better than the other so you will wind up with a surplus of one. Vitamin Water is a Coke product. To order direct from the bottler most will require a minimum order, for me locally its a 15 case minimum. That's 15 cases total, not of one flavor. One suggestion is try to find a vendor locally and see if he will let you piggy back smaller orders onto his until you get big enough to order directly on your own. Hope this helps.

jt13 Posted June 12, 2010 Author Share Posted June 12, 2010 I'm assuming 24 in a case? so about .63 for one 20 oz bottle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mxer518 Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 if you live in NY always add 10 cents per bottle or can for deposit and "recycling fee". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mission vending Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 I'm assuming 24 in a case? so about .63 for one 20 oz bottle? Yes. .65 for Coke and .57 for Fanta. I retail them for no less than 1.25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soco Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Nobody's mentioned Restaurant Depot so I will. I used to deal with each bottler, but I can get most 20 oz. selections at RD. Also, they have gatorade and Vit water in single flavor 24 cases, unlike Sam's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparta_Automation Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Walmart has lowered their prices for most Pepsi/Coke product to $5 a case (a hell of a deal). For other types of drinks such as RedBull, Rockstar. Monsters....Costco. Also, I do get some things at our local Cash and Carry. Travis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
