I am looking to buy an existing snack vending route in DC metro region, either in Maryland suburbs/Montgomery County or Northern Virginia suburbs (not both areas in one route) and would prefer a vending route that has a healthy snacks emphasis. I would not be interested in a size larger than I can service myself of no more than 20 to 30 machines and would need seller financing after I make a down payment on the business.

I am also seeking advice on how to price such a vending route. I welcome feedback on views/experience for buying an existing snack vending route and suggestions about how this should be priced (an equitable formula for pricing on net annual revenue) with seller financing as part of the transaction. Should it be priced just on the annual net revenue or should current value of the used machines be taken into account for the price of the route?

Thank you for your input!

Has anyone experienced or heard feedback about JOFEMAR Combo Plus snack vending machine? I know that this manufacturer is based in Spain, has two US distributors and a diversified line of vending business activities in the US and worldwide.
