Without question this is the most important thing in Vending is location, location , location. Finding quality locations can make or break your business. Vendors that focus on the quality of their locations find they have less turnover of accounts and simply less accounts to manage.

Vending equipment can be costly. FInding the correct location means you can have an account that does $1,000 or a back location that does $10 per week. Include the price of equipment and your ROI (return on investment) can stretch out as far as 4 years. But with a good location you could see a return on investment in as little as 6 months.

Here's an example:
Example A: has a location that requires 2 machines @ $4000 per machine = $8,000. The location makes an average of $400 per month with gives the vendor a RIO of 20 months.
Example B: has a location that requires 4 machines @ $4000 per machine = $16,000. The location makes an average of $700 per month which gives the vendor a RIO of 23 months.
Although example A makes less they have a greater ROI. This would be important people who borrow money and want to repay quicker.People sometimes will borrow money from friends, relatives or their IRA/retirement accounts
Example B: Makes more money but has a longer ROI. It is important for example B to have greater cash flow.
Our routes typically have an ROI of 6-8 months.
