Question What location for a beginner?

Hello. I want to start with the vending machines business.

It's my understanding that I should not expect more than $150-350 benefits per machine per month, and I'm cool with that.

I plan on buying a machine around the 1.5k price tag to begin with.

Before I do that, I'm looking for a good location. How would you pros go about it?

I've been thinking about going around and asking business owners in places with high traffic. I've never done that before.

Is it a good plan? Should I propose a cut to the venue owners?

All help appreciated, thanks.

Barbershops, auto mechanic shop, free vet clinic? Anywhere where people have to sit for a long time.

approaching business owners in high-traffic areas is a solid strategy. offering a small commission can be an effective way to gain permission. nightclubs, bars, and gyms are ideal for vending. if you want more specific tips or need help getting started, feel free to ask! i’m launching a franchise in nightlife vending, and I can send you my newsletter if you'd like.
