Our Mission

There’s a lot of information online about the vending business, and most of it just adds to the confusion.

Purple Rose Vending exists to make this simple.

No half-truths. No recycled advice. No hype.

We focus on helping you understand every aspect of the vending business so you can make informed decisions, avoid costly mistakes, and build something real.

If you’re tired of being overwhelmed and ready to move with purpose, you’re in the right place.

Meet The Owner

My name is James Wormick

I’m the owner and operator of Purple Rose Vending.

My connection to vending started early. Growing up, I spent countless after-school hours in my father’s beeper shop, where a single vending machine quietly became part of some of my best childhood memories.

Years later, with children of my own and a desire to build something meaningful, I returned to vending — not just as a business, but as a way to create stability, ownership, and time with family.

After nearly a decade as an owner-operator, I’ve experienced the full rollercoaster: setbacks, frustrations, hard lessons, and real success. That journey is what shaped The Blueprint.

Vending isn’t just income for me.
It’s a tool for freedom, legacy, and bringing family together.

    Build Your Vending Machine Business the Smart Way!

    The Blueprint teaches you how to think and move like a real vending owner — not someone relying on social media advice or guesswork.

    Inside, you’ll learn:

    • How to approach vending with an owner-operator mindset, not influencer hype

    • How to decide machine first or location first, and why either can work when done correctly

    • What actually matters when buying machines, and why capabilities beat everything else

    • How to spot weak vendors and take over existing locations instead of chasing empty ones

    • How to build routes using strategy, psychology, and negotiation, not cold calls

    • When and how to handle contracts and commissions without killing your profit

    • How to price products for speed and turnover, not just per-item profit

    • Proven ways to increase sales at existing locations, including advanced strategies

    • How to expand beyond snack and drink machines by identifying what locations are missing

    • How to turn vending into a flexible income stream that can grow with you

    This guide doesn’t do the work for you.
    It teaches you how to think, decide, and execute so you can build something real.
