Getting started in the vending business is a lot of hard work. Fact is that many countries have a well established vending machines culture.

Vending machines are not a novelty and that applies to candy vending machine especially. The most popular form of the quick snack will have to be candy.

No one wants a quick toy from a toy vending machine. They want a sweet treat from a candy vending machine. Even vending machine suppliers have come to realize this and promote their candy vending machines robustly.

So why start with a candy machine? The answer is simple; the profit margin is significant.

If you compare between a bulk vending machine that sells beverages from U Turn Vending or a candy machine that by Personal Vending Machines can load up to one thousand gumballs, it is obvious that the latter has an advantage by virtue of the huge number of products that it is able to sell.

If you can service two or even three machines in an hour and extract this amount of money from each machine, then the overheads and stock costs are covered relatively quickly. You probably need to do this once in a week, i.e. 2-3 hours of work per week!
