Why do very few people vend pringles? The only machine I have seen in Toledo was sold out. I called pringles directly and they say they will keep producing vendable pringles. My local distributor has all in stock and good pricing. The mechanical machines are cheap and the electronic ones aren't bad either. Do they just not sell? It seems like they would kick butt. Any ideas I plan on getting some machines soon and just wondered.

I wouldn't buy a Pringles machine because it limits you to one type of product. What location wants five varities of Pringles and nothing else? I suppose you could put small soup cans in a column or two but how much soup are you likely to sell either? If you want to vend Pringles I would do it from a standard vending machine. Buy a coil that will accept the Pringles can and sell them along with a varity of other products. I don't think selling Pringles only will make any money for you.
Good luck with your new venture.

I know what you are saying but I was also think that I may be able to get into locations due to no competition. Also the machines are only $120.00 shipped to my house so that seems pretty good. Around here people really love pringles and the machines are also very small. I am still thinking about it but will probably try one out first for that price.
