brendamca Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Has anyone had an ambulance depot as a location? How does/did it do? I saw one today and just started to wonder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mission vending Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Has anyone had an ambulance depot as a location? How does/did it do? I saw one today and just started to wonder. From my experience the good news is you have people there 24/7. The bad news is that the dispatchers are usually the only ones there, so my guess would be 5 or less at the location. Unless you find that there are at least 15-20 people there 24/7 I`d pass. Even that # is iffy, but guys that work the graveyard shift are good for the vending business.

NinnJinn Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 I haven't placed one, but I checked into one that had at least 6ppl on the grave yard shift, and from 8am-8pm had at least 12ppl there. They didn't have a problem with a machine there but they warned me that most of them go to the gas station to get a fountain drink because if they are in uniform, they get the drinks for free, and they had a machine there once before and if the vendor was being honest, they got enough commission to warrant roughly 20-25vends a MONTH.

I have seen and called on one that was HUGE with like 100+ people at any given time in a large city. If not you are looking at what mission has said and I would not do one that size. BTW the one with 100+ people had a full time nurse on staff that was bound and determioned to go all healthy in the vending machine if she had her way. I knew that was the direction that she was going to push sooner or later. I passed on that one to and did not do a proposal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sphincorp Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I have 2 of these, it all depends on how many dispatchers are there during the time(like Mission said).....most of these companies have other types of business operations on site, where there is a day time crew 6 or 7 days aweek....the drivers are only on site to stock their trucks or to change shifts, then they r gone.....
