newbie (Bedfordshire) with a few questions

Post by joeygeorgie88 »

hi guys

looking to get started in this tower vend business. I wonder if anyone can advise as to what existing coverage is like in my region of Bedfordshire? there don't seem to be many mentions of bedford in this forum.....

as I said in another topic - the main thing holding me back is that the use of cash is fast dying out, and I worry it might be too late to jump into a business that isn't future-proof. I just wonder what you guys' thoughts are on this? any of you looking into card-based vending?

cheers

I dont think the cash element for tower or toy vemding will die off anytime soon as it's majority kids making purchasing and its the whole excitement element of pestering parents and putting money in machine imo.

I would suggest you go out and look at sites to see for yourself, anyone covering the area is not going to tell you that there is room for you. The decent sites include family pubs/eateries, wacky warehouse type places, basically anywhere there is good footfall

Haha, so what are you telling me Style? That it's worth pursuing this or that I should stay away from your turf? :P

I'm Bedford-based, at any rate.
