Hello,
Newbie here. I have a mixture of doubles and triples. I want to keep it simple and profitable. I want to do single heads with gumballs. I am tired of being a jack of all trades. One machine/one product. Is anyone out there doing this? If so, please share. It doesn't have to be gumballs, maybe you've chose mints or something. Thanks for the feedback.

Hey,
This is a good idea in general for running a fleet. I am going to take that approach getting my route built up. The exception will be placing triple head 1800 machines at all of my best locations. But in general I plan on running singles with gumballs and maybe a couple of products.
There is a good discussion of this @ vendiscuss.com. Check out the "done with doubles" thread.

when i first started i had a route of 50 singles. All gumballs... best choice ever... you can reuse left stock in your next machine and you don't have to buy a million things ... i upgraded the whole route to double heads and i sold chicklets on one side and gumballs on another... yes... both gum and both ran like crazy... i think it's a good idea. made crazy money :-) heheh.. if you have any other questions i'll tell you my experience but i think it's a great idea. all the success for you...

Hey there!
Yeah man, you have the right idea about singles. I swear to you I wish I would have started with singles myself. They are just easier to manage and generally make a lot more per head then doubles/triples.
Gumballs are the obvious choice because of their extremely high profit margin, BUT, many industrial locations won't support them. You have to go with M&M Peanuts. My idea is industrial M&M Peanuts, retail/other gumballs.
