Thinking of starting a vending machine business? Let’s break it down👇 1️⃣ Find a location first! Don’t buy a machine until you’ve secured a spot. Locations are the hardest part—think gyms, apartments, Airbnb hosts, or offices. Most places will want 10-25% of your sales or a flat $50-$100 monthly fee. 2️⃣ Buy the machine. A used one costs ~$2,000, or go new for $3,500. Make sure it takes credit cards, or add a card reader for $300. 3️⃣ Stock up. Snacks or drinks will run you ~$300 to fill up your machine. Buy wholesale from Costco, Sam’s Club, or Smart & Final. 4️⃣ Don’t forget logistics. Gas for restocking, wholesale memberships, and insurance can add $100+ monthly. 💰 Upfront cost? Around $33,000 if you’re looking to replace a $70K/year income. You’ll need 15 machines making ~$400/month each. Expect to put in 15-20 hours/week, including drive time. It’s not as easy as some say, but it’s doable with the right plan! Drop your questions below 👇
