The Advantages Of South Florida Vending Machines

By Clyde Browning


A full-line South Florida vending machines company establishes several kinds of vending machines that sell a variety of products. Products may include candy, cookies, chips, fresh fruit, milk, cold food, coffee and other hot drinks, bottles, cans of soda, and even frozen products like ice cream. These products can be sold from machines offering coffee, snack, cold food, 20-oz. bottle machines, and glass-front bottle machines.

Bulk vending may be a more practical choice than soft drink/snack vending for an individual who also works a full-time job, since the restaurants, retail stores, and other locations suitable for bulk vending may be more likely to be open during the evening and on weekends than venues such as offices that host soft drink and snack machines. Almost all machines accept bills with more and more machines accepting $5 bills. This is an advantage to the vendor because it virtually eliminates the need for a bill changer. Larger corporations with cafeterias will often request full line vending with food service.

Bulk candy machines are mechanical machines that vend a handful of candy, a bouncy ball, or perhaps a capsule with a small toy or jewelry, for one or two coins. The items may be unsorted; in that case what the customer exactly gets is subject to chance. In other instances, the customer is guaranteed a specific type of candy. The gross margins in the bulk candy business can be quite high, gumballs, for instance, can be purchased in bulk for 2 cents apiece and sold for 25 cents in the US. Gumballs and candy have a relatively long shelf life, enabling vending machine operators to manage many machines without too much time or cost involved. In addition, the machines are typically inexpensive compared to soft drink or snack machines, which often require power and sometimes refrigeration to work. Many operators donate a percentage of the profits to charity so that locations will allow them to place the machines for free.

As part of an initiative involving The Standard Hotels and Quiksilver, Quiksilver has reissued their original board shorts from the 70's and 80's with an updated fit and they'll soon be for sale in vending machines, located poolside at The Standard Hotels in line with an article on Springwise. If board shorts aren't your standard swimming gear, they'll also provide bikinis (XS, S, M and L) available for $84. Board shorts will cost $75. Each location (LA, Miami, New York and Hollywood) will have a signature design. The board shorts for Miami will be white with a yellow waistband and hem. Each purchase from these vending machines will include a waterproof travel bag. This is great for those late night/early morning swims when everything else has shut their doors for the evening.

South Florida vending machines make life easier by providing people with all of life's essentials: soda, convenience foods, and even a number of luxury items that you might need. Now, you can add one more item to that list, bathing suits.
