Opinions on using contracts

28 November 2007 - 12:06 PM

Hi,

I am in the process of setting up a small vending route, and I am starting out with about 4 machines. I am new to the business and I wonder if any one uses contracts to lock in your locations? I guess there are pros and cons to this...I'd be stuck with the location if it isn't performing, and if I don't put a contract in place, someone else could negotiate to pay more of a commission, and take my location.

Also, is there a web-site that will allow me to download a basic vending contract if I decide to use them? Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

Gumball machines pros and cons?

25 November 2007 - 08:53 AM

I have the chance to buy an established gumball machine route. The numbers that I've been given seem promising, but collecting one quarter at a time worries me. The route has 15 triple head machines advertised for $3000. The seller claims they make $500 each per month. Are there any success stories like this out there?
