Vending tower business

Post by mic79 »

Im looking to start out a vending tower business. I've been on a few websites but im not sure if they're profit claims and average sales per week are realistic. Im not sure of a franchise or going out on my own (I've heard so many different stories good and bad). Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Cheers

Mike :nono:

It's up to you which path you choose but if you take the time to read all the historic posts on the forum I am sure you will decide to go it alone.

You can pick up machines from eBay or other venders on here will do you a good deal.

Shop around for the best price on your stock, there are sweet suppliers on here that will be able to offer you their most competitive prices. It really is aprice driven industry so you will need to keep an eye on your costs.

Start off with a few machines and see how it works out for you before committing big money.

Also don't be afraid to ask questions on here, everyone was new to the industry at some point and will all be willing to help where they can.

You will generally find that weekends are a bit slower on here.

Good luck.

Rob

work on a 30 per tower gross take per month in an independent round . You can do better with thsi say up to 40 but 30 is a good base starting point. If a snack a can round base it on about 15 a month.
