Is "Kickstart Locators" legitimate?

17 August 2010 - 07:51 PM

I came across their website and was wondering if any of y'all have any experience with them. Thanks for your feedback.

How many machines can you really have?

16 August 2010 - 03:59 PM

I'm interested in getting into vending and I asked a few questions in the Snack and Soda section; I'm interested in growing a vending business large enough to return significant income. In your opinion, is it easier to do this with snack and soda machines or bulk vending machines?

Also, how many vending machines can one person really have? And how quickly can one expand in the bulk vending business?

Let's say your average location returned $10 per month; so if you own 1000 locations, wouldn't that be $10,000 per month?

Thanks for your answers

Some vending questions

28 July 2010 - 03:18 PM

Hi all, I'm looking to get into vending and I have a few questions; and this forum seems to be a good place to ask them, and so I appreciate any answers that y'all may have.

I'm looking to get into vending for additional income, and may want to grow it over time into a substantial business. My questions mainly regard the realistic expectations that one should have with vending, and what is or is not common. Also, for these questions, just assume that one has the necessary start-up capital to invest into the machines (say $100,000).


What sort of expansion is realistic? I have read posts by people who say that they expand at a rate of one machine per year; I have no experience in vending, but is it that difficult that you can only do one machine per year, or is it a matter of personal choice? Is it possible to expand at a rate of a machine per month, or per week?

Can you earn $35 per week per machine, or is that too high?
Can you earn a significant amount of income from the vending industry, and how long do you reckon it'd take to get there, with the necessary capital?

Do any of you have employees? Any tips on that?

Is it better to buy an existing route and keep on buying routes, or expand from the ground-up?

Thanks for any answers. I know vending is work, and it's not just sit-on-your-couch, but I want to know what my realistic expectations should be. Is it possible to earn $250,000 a year from vending? $500,000? Or more?
