The end of cigerette vending

Post by choice vending »

Got a phone call this morning from a good friend of mine who inspired me go into vending. He has a cigerette vending round with 40 sited machines in pubs. He started about 7 years ago.

Come october his business will come to an end unless there are changes in the law. Cigerette machines will be banned.

My friend suggested that i take on his machines for a nominal fee and adapt them to vend other products. The machines are all multi mech so they can take any coins.

So ideas folks please!! Surely there can be a way of making some money out of this situation all around the country for venders ans suppilers. Any Ideas folks??

Im surprised you folks can still vend cigarettes. It has been illegal here for as long as I can remember.

There is a market for the old machines though. Many vendors adapt them to sell items such as art, and packages of sports cards.

Yeah, I wouldnt imagine it would be. I was just sharing some info about what others around here are doing. Sports are a huge market here.
