Thanks for the comment. I did own the aforementioned vending machine business. It was a good business; had unique joys and challenges. I sold it to a strategic buyer after building for over two years.

If you are interested in learning more about the industry from more of an insiders standpoint, check out industry publications Automatic Merchandiser and Vending Times.

Good article on flappin’ the lips too much.

By the way, I was reading an article about the vending machine business recently and found it interesting that you used to work for a company that sold them.

Have you ever yourself considered purchasing them and creating a route, being in the business and all and having an insider view?

It’s not like I don’t have enough going on, but there’s something that appealed to me about a vending machine route selling various stuff….and then having someone I trusted tend to the route.

Allegedly, it’s quite a recession proof business as well.

If you have any personal thoughts, feel free to share.

Thanks,
Dan
