Looking to purchase to what appears to be a very well run vending route with 20 established locations -

Each location has pop & snack machines & are nicely located geographically - & all appear to be nice looking machines(via email pictures)

many spare parts are included including dollar bill counter , coin roller & counter

2 newer coffee machines not being used as well as 3 snack machines

also included which I like very much is a low milage 3500 gmc custom bubble box truck (looks like new) with a power lift gate - this truck has been outfitted for vending only & was bought new in 2003 has custom shelves, coolers etc

Business grosses 40K without the xtra machines being used - & takes around 10 - 12 hour a week to service

Asking price is 30K

For those of you with experience how does this opportunity sound to you?

I am going to look at this tomorrow what might be some good questions to ask & what should I look at in the equipment?

6 of the pop machines are Pepsi leases but have always been no charge as long as you buy Pepsi - I like the fact that if they break Pepsi fixes same day usually - the owner also keeps several Coke selections in these machines & of course removes the Coke if a machine is being serviced by Pepsi

Anyways advice would be appreciated ,

Much Obliged

If you're new to vending...that sounds like a lot of machines to take on and a lot of money for something that you're unsure of. If you're new to this, then i would start out small with just a few machines and work your way up. starting out on a large scale could prove to be pretty overwhelming, especially when your machines start to give you problems and you dont know how to fix them.

Need more information, how many and what type of equipment ( vending machines) and how many does he own outright.Getting into vending is easy, staying in vending is the challenge.
