I am new to the vending business.

Can someone with experiences please let me know if the sales of soda actually drop in winter season?

If it does, by approximately how many percent?


Thanks a lot!

Good question! I was also wondering about this!

I asked a friend of mine who used to have soda machines he said no the indoors ones go up because people are less willing to travel in the cold .I guess ill find out this winter if he is right or not to.

It depends would be my answer

A blue collar location with warehouse workers very likely will go down. In a primarily white collar location you won't see nearly as much of a difference if the weather stays mild. Sales will drop off during times of very cold weather in just about all locations.
You will also see a drop off around the holidays.
