I was just wondering if anyone has tried the tropical 9900ct at Sam's? Does it sell well? How many pieces vend at max?

Thanks in advance.

I just started using the Sams 9900 count. Thought I would give a different choice of gums instead of gumballs (Sams also) only. Have not vended them long enough to see how they are doing in my triple heads.
My wheel setting is the smallest number, which vends 9 peices. One advantage for me is that I dont have to buy the gumball wheel, it works with the standard wheels.
My Dentyne Ice machines vend 2 peices, so if I have them together, will most likely not do gum at all in the triple heads or just do gumballs.

(9900/9).25=$275 per case gross versus 850*.25=$212.5 gross per case of gumballs. If they sell well it's a no brainer.
Let me know how they do!

the key word is if they will sell. I tried this concept at all of my locations you will find success in each location with this product however after a month my sales dropped big time..... i believe it was because it was a new item and they just wanted to try something different.
I set my machines up in regions of 2. Say i have 20 locations will set 5 locations with one type of product and the rest with other types. Then after the 30 days i will rotate each region with a different product. I use the same machines just transfer heads from location to location
