What's up everyone, my name is Brian and I am new to bulk vending. I've been doing this about a month and have a total of 5 machines (3 machines on location, 2 need to placed.)

I found a location for my 4th machine today but was told that I could only put in kosher candy???
There was another machine on site that was selling Mike + Ike's and two other items I've never seen (something red and something black). The only candy I had that matched up as kosher was Good + Plenty, but the guy didn't want it saying that it wouldn't sell. He also doesn't want candies with dairy, because he looked at a bag of M+M's and although it met the kosher requirements since it had dairy, he didn't want it.

It seems like it could be a busy location (a big auto repair shop) but I'm not sure what's left to put in the machine? Has anyone had any experience with a similiar situation? Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Well, I've looked into it and these are the candies I found:
these candies are Kosher Pareve (which i think means no dairy?)

Chicklet Tabs
Crazy Hearts
Jelly Beans (any kind)
Hot Tamales
Mike + Ikes
Jujy Fruits
Jolly Joes
Oh Baby Pacifier Candy
Any Kind Of Nuts
Sunflower Seeds

Here are the 2 sites I got my info:

Now I've got to figure out where to buy them because the sam's club in my town doesn't have most of this. Maybe they can special order.

I'll let everyone know how it works out.

At Sam's you could pick up nuts, Mike & Ike, and Dubble Bubble 1 in. gumballs and be covered.

PS- Pareve is neutral, compared to meat or dairy

I figured that Dubble Bubble probably was but the symbol that the guy showed me to look for ( a U with a circle around it)
wasn't on the box. I saw on one site Dubble Bubble being under kosher candies, but it wasn't the 850 count gumballs that I have. As far as the Mike and Ike's, I could use them if I find another flavor because he doesn't want repeats of the other machine's candies.

This might seem like a pain, but he isn't asking for charity or a percentage. He was basically like sure, bring it in but I'm not responsible for it. So, I'm just trying to get items that will be accepted no questions asked.

Thanks alot though Philo.

Well, I placed the machine earlier today. I ended up putting Hot Tamales, Cashews and Mike + Ike Tangy Twister
in. Does anyone have a good spot for bulk Hot Tamales? I am not sure if Mike and Ike sell bulk in the Tangy Twister flavor. I bought both at the supermarket in individual boxes just to get the location up and running. I figure now I've got a month to track down some bulk.

Thanks.
