Question for PG Brew and others

Post by dorsetvending »

Pete,

Pleasure to meet you in London last month.

I have couple of questions for you re: 93mm machines.

In your non-pub sites which type of site performs best?
Do you fill them with toy or toy/lolly mix?
How easy did you find getting 100 plus machines out there?
What's the geographical spread?
Have you a decent sized unit and how much are you paying per month?

Not asking much am I :whistle:

Good to meet you to Gavin.

Apart from the obvious playbarns & shopping malls, outside locations such as convienience stores, off main roads in a parade within housing estate/block of flats with 3 schools in the area. Busy high streets are not so good.

Toys only

No problem, site finding is easy, although I bought this round of 200 machines in 2008.

90% within M25. 70% within N/S circular.

I have my own double garage and I share a single garage with Dave. I also have 3 small garden sheds.

See ya I'm off on my rounds now.

Pete

I forgot to add, I use 90mm not 93mm, a lower costing capsule more capacity & profit.

Yes Pete good point, are you ordering by container or by the pallet? Even for a pallet the capsule price would be equivalent price to ToyVend empties, but a higher capacity with 90mm so you make a gain there.
