I recently bought a cold beverage vending machine and have placed it at my wives work. It was a big purchase for us but my wife says her office drinks a ton of soda and bottled water and there are not any convenience stores within walking distance (so people bring their own but she thinks we can sell them a lot, cause people forget or run out!) There is a really good mark up on soda and bottled water, We buy it from the store and stock the machine a few times each month. So far it’s going really good, once I have made enough to cover the cost of the soda machine we are considering buying a machine that vends potato chips and other snacks. Her work is more than happy to take a percentage of my profits in exchange for looking after the vending machines, they are inside the break room so I really don’t have to worry about them getting stolen or vandalized.
Just in case no one has quarters my wife keeps a few at her desk! We would like to upgrade the machine so it accepts dollar bills but the mechanical drink machine was pretty cheap so that’s what we bought for our first machine. I was thinking I could expand into some of the other offices around her work since I would already be in the area to stock her soda machine. I am hoping that these vending machines start to make us some excellent money as I am retiring and will still need some extra cash. The hard part is finding good locations you want it where there is lots of foot traffic but not where it’s going to get broken into or trashed. We are even thinking about placing a few gumball machines in the local stores around our house.
