The best locations to put vending machines in

@GodOfOutreach Great tip!

How many times do you follow up, and how frequent?

Just landed a new vending account 🚀

They want me to handle vending, ice machine, coolers, and microwaves.

Initial investment:

- 5 vending machines: $18,800
- Card readers: $1,450
- 4 microwaves: $600
- 2 double-door fridges: $5,000
- Moving + inventory costs: $2,000

total = ~ $27,850

Projected monthly revenue:
Lease (microwaves, fridges, ice): $499
Vending sales: $3.5k @ 35% margin = $1,225

Total cash flow: ~$1,724

Payback period: ~16 months

does this sound worth it?

Big win in the Vending Machine LaunchPad community! 🚀

One of our members just installed two vending machines at a school with a great product lineup.

Expecting $1,250 per month!

We’re just getting started 🔥

@kennderella_k I secure vending locations by cold calling, emailing and running ads 🚀

I installed a new vending machine location yesterday!

Was a bit worried since employees are only required to come in 3 days a week, but it's already proving me wrong.

At this rate, it should bring in around $1200-1500/month—solid return on a $5K investment.

Not bad at all! #VendingBusiness

I grew my vending business to 6 figures in the first year—and now, I’m just a quarter away from hitting 7 figures.

Since I started at 18, I've been seen as the "underdog," but I will outwork anyone to make sure I'm the biggest in my city.

Just checked out this smart cooler by @cantaloupeinc_ at a convention – it’s a game changer.

Keeps track of inventory, can sell a variety of items, and is secure. 💡

Underestimating Maintenance: Machines break down, and products run out. Stay on top of maintenance and restocking to keep your locations happy and your machines running smoothly. 🛠️

[Jaime Ibanez @JaimeIbanezz]

@jmoder From my experience around 25% own their own machines!

It makes sense that most of them would, but most laundromat owners want to be hands-off as much as possible.

If they already have machines, I offer them an upgrade. In this case, it was the detergent machine 🫧

If you’re thinking about starting a vending business, remember that the location plays a HUGE role in success. Look for places where people are for a long time, and think beyond just snacks and drinks! 🏪
