minivend Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I have an opportunity to place 3 AP LCM-3 machines in a 83 lane bowling alley. This location is busy 9 months out of the year. Anyone have experience with snack and chip machines in bowling alleys? I'd like to give them 10% of the revenue per machine each month as far as commission goes..Your opinions and advice are appreciated.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinnJinn Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 bowling alleys in my area have there own counter for snack sales. What few places I did see a snack machine in, they were beat all to hell, dents and names/words scratched into them. and punks constantly trying to shake them to get free product from them.

One that I have has leagues pretty much year round and it will do over a $100.00 a week this time of year and a little more than half that in the summer. The other one will do about the same in the winter and shuts down for the months of june and july. I would not go more than ten percent. If they have kids leagues or high school tournaments just fill the whole machine with skittles and starburst and you do well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minivend Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 great, thanks for the information. They do have a concession area that does NOT sell candy or chips..My goal is to try and install 2 machines to start and add the 3rd if necessary..

mission vending Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 I managed a 40 lane house in a prior life. We did our own vending. You should do fine if they have plenty of leagues. During the summer when you have far fewer league bowlers and more open bowlers business will slow down for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
