New to Snack-a-Can

This is all really helpful, thanks. I will come back if I have more questions, if you don't mind. Has anyone found the vending business affected by the recession. Are sales falling in general at the moment?

[Ade]

to be honest no, but we have had jubilee, euros and olympics which have kept things busy

That depends where you are I think. Personally, I have had lower sales recently, but I have put it down to the poor summer weather.

If you have a job at the moment, keep it going until you have around 100 machines, then consider if you want to earn your living from vending.

Good advice Paul, bit of a nightmare keeping up with all the sites and a full time job though but wouldnt want to rely on this game alone, its definetly a numbers game

definatley start independant with 10 you shouldnt have a problem getting 10 sited with family who know friends with clubs n pubs etc, you can buy your stock independantly to, i use sweetfix and have no problems. never dealt with snack a can but from what i have seen and read on here i wouldnt touch them with a barge pole, i have dealt with tubz vending and i learnt a valuable lesson there!!! i would clean toilets before giving them any more of money

Hey Ade, Be careful what you say! Some of the folks on here wanted to burn me at the stake for saying i'd rather drive a bus than deal with tubz vending!!! Regards Al.

Thanks for the feedback. I was thinking of buying into the franchise to get me started but not sure now. Just trying to do a bit more research. Would anyone recommend starting up with just 10 towers as a sideline? I thought that might be a good way to 'test the waters'.

Hey Mr Chocolate, whats your name?? Where are you based?? Regards Al.

Al has asked "chocolate" twice now as to where he is based, and still not had an answer??
I am very wary of ppl on here who benefit from all our experience yet fail to tell us who or where they are !!

Not good etiquet

Not everyone is going to give their name, especially if they are considering buying off one of the suppliers. You can imagine the phone calls they would get!!

[Ade]

that`s the joys of an open forum im afraid we have to take people as they are

Sorry Al, I missed that the first time. I'm in the South West (Taunton) area. How wide a patch would you consider manageable? I was thinking about 25-30 mile radius? Name's Dave by the way.
