tubz vending Franchisee giving up

[Mark@YorVend]

Just spoke to a guy from Derby about buying a couple of machines he had on Ebay. When I asked him why he was selling he said he was winding down his round because 'they still haven't found all the sites in over a year'.

Apparently he only bought a 10 bundle and they still owe him a site! He's now given up as one of his sites closed down recently, and as he put it 'I'm not waiting another year for them to re-site for me'.
I can ask him if he's willing to sell the 8 machines he still has sited If anyone is operating in the Derby area, just PM me.

I've got a feeling he's ready to get out!!

Yes it's a very OLD post , sorry! - But some things never seem to change!!!

Wow I still remember that, I went down on the train and carried two machines and two stands back in massive holdalls!

Got some funny looks on the train as I was sat on a stand in the gangway. I think the train was about £20 return and the machines cost about £60 each, so it was £140 well spent

Since then I've bought machines from another 2 or 3 tubz vending guys that have given up! Just waiting for one of the others in my area to give up so I can buy his sites, and spare machines! (although I did threaten to break his legs a few months back so he might not sell to me)

Hmmm never thought of that.
Next time I will take some stock with me and stand the machine in the corner... might make a few quid on the way back... or get thrown off!

the weight of the stands never bothers me... wer tuf lads up ere in't north!
