High Tech Vending Company

Unique Business Model

This business is a franchise with a unique business model based on quality vending machines that have been equipped with service-driven proprietary technology that is easily operated from your computer. This technology allows you to track sales and profits of individual machines as well as each product in those machines. This route is exceptional due to its geographic efficiency and an average 10% commission which is low for the industry. The growth opportunity is substantial since the owner has been working another job and has not prospected in his route territory. The owner's assets are only two years old; the vehicle only has 11,000 miles and has an extended warranty. All equipment needed to operate the route is included in the sale except a computer. The owner used the franchisor's storage area option for $450/month. This could be reduced or saved if a new owner had optional storage for inventory or wanted to rent storage elsewhere. Seller will transition with new owner for 30 days at no cost. There is franchise training as well for a small cost.
