I Wanted To Start Up A Vending Machine Business, But How Do You Go About Find Spot To Place Your Machines?
A good friend of mine has a vending machine route and it is a lot of trial and error. The machines that do the best are the ones that are in company lunch rooms where there are at least 40 employees. Trucking company lunch rooms seem to be the best. Another good spot for salty items like peanuts and cashews is in pubs or bars. You just approach the bar owner and explain that you will make their customers thirsty and most will allow you to place them there.
She found that putting them in department stores was a waste of time.
Hope this helps!

I would start by going around to small warehouses, offices, and business and make an offer if they allow you to put a vending machine in there business you will give them a percentage of the net profit for the use of the space for the vending machine and any electricity that it might use.
I know that is how I was approached.

I would start by contacting the owners of small office buildings.

ask the places that you want to put a machine what they think. you will probably pay them rent or give them a % of what you make in the machine
