Is it possible to make money in the vending business? Do you make a decent amount every month? What’s your story?

I want to sell food at festivals and carnivals and stuff like that? The product I would be selling is Buffalo Wings. Barbeque and Hot. It comes with a heap of curly fries and 6 wings and s1 soda for 6 bucks. Would you buy it over your typical burger and turkey leg or sausage on a stick kind of crap?

We own 10 vending machines. The machines contain chips, candy, soda, water, etc? Just starting out, good opportunity but want to make sure I am doing things the right way. Thanks

I consider “low” start-up cost to be under $5000.00. Also, if there are any businesses that could probably get a grant to get started. I contacted the SBA (Small Business Admin.) and was told that the government is not giving out any grants to start a business. I am fiddling around with vending machinces, snack and soda. Should I just stick with that field? Can vending bring in enough extra $$$ to live comfortably off?

Hello all,
I am close to closing a vending machine business but are trying to get my numbers right and see if this makes sense and will be profitable.
First of all this is an energy mint which I have had and loved, I think having it in a gym, bar and on a college campus would be a hot item.
The deal I am working out would cost be $12,250 for 25 vending machines and the right to buy this product for the merchandisor at a discount price and also would give me retail rights.
Retail rights aside I am trying to get the vending info straight and this is what I came out with.
12,225 – 25 Vending Machines
3 partners – Partner A half is 6112 Partner B 3056 Partner C 3056 = 12,225 – 25 Machines and retail rights.
1 Vending Machine holds 1,000 mints selling at .50 cents each. 1,000x.50=$500.00
$500.00 (-$200 manuf cost) =$300.00
$300 X (.40 vending profit $120.00) = $180
$180 / 2 = $90.00 my cut $45 Partner A and B.
Please keep in mind that these energy mints are new and are compared to energy drinks, 5 hour energy and such.
Does look profitable to you?
