Buying an established vending location sounds like a shortcut… Plug in, restock, collect money. That’s the dream people sell. But here’s the reality: Not every established location is worth buying. Part 1: When It’s NOT Worth It If a location isn’t performing, you need to respect that. Don’t walk in thinking you’re about to magically fix everything just because it’s now your machine. Some locations just don’t spend money like that. It doesn’t matter what machine you bring in.

“How much should I charge for chips?” “What should I price my drinks at?” Y’all gotta stop asking the internet this. Because now you got 20 different people telling you 20 different prices… and not ONE of them knows your situation. They don’t know: - What you pay for your products - What your location looks like - Who your customers are - What people around you are charging But you’re about to base your business off their opinion? That’s backwards. And let’s add another layer

“What items should I put in my machine?” Sounds like a smart question… But it’s the wrong one. Don’t make the mistake of asking random people what you should put in your machine. I get it—when you’re first starting out, it’s uncomfortable. You want guidance. You want a list. So you go looking for: “Top 10 vending items” “Best snacks to sell” “Best selling drinks” And then you load your machine with what everyone else is selling… And wonder why your products just sit there.

If one machine made you $300 a month… Would you really call that “not worth it”? The Problem With Social Media Math Social media got people thinking: $10K months are normal Big locations are easy And anything less is a waste of time That mindset is why most people never get started. Let’s Talk Real Numbers Let’s keep it simple. 1 machine = $300/month Now stack it: 5 machines = $1,500/month 10 machines = $3,000/month That’s not hype. That’s math. “But I Want More” Cool. Everyb

Most people getting into vending are looking for the same locations. Hotels. Warehouses. Office buildings. Because social media tells you those are the “money spots.” And I get it. On paper, it makes sense. More people should mean more money, right? Well, not exactly. I’ve had locations that looked perfect. High traffic, lots of people, everything you would think should make money. And they didn’t. At the same time, I’ve had locations people would completely overlook. Car wa

“Most vending businesses don’t fail because of the machine. They fail because no one told them the truth first.”

If vending was really as easy as social media makes it sound, everyone with a $500 machine would be rich by now. But that’s not how this business works. I know a lot of people will tell you the same thing…“Just get up and get started.” But the hardest part isn’t starting. The hardest part is stepping away from what’s already working. The job that's paying your bills. The routine that feeds your family. Taking a step into uncertainty is never easy. When you’ve got responsibil
