Hey All

Post by JPN9856 »

Hey all!
My name is James and I'm new around here.
I'm not new to vending, but I'm not that experienced either.
I run a few small-time machines (gumball and bouncing ball machines) around my area.
I'm considering adding some more (and bigger) machines.
I'm hoping to pick up a few pointers and add some opinions of my own when I can.

I'm in Bolingbrook.
It's a teeny, tiny suburb outside of Chicago.
I thought I might start with a vending machine or 2 at one of the schools with some healthy (and a few unhealthy :lol: ) snacks for the kids to buy.

I don't have a lot of experience, but it might be good a little extra cash flow at the end of the month if I do it right.
