Quick answers

How do I find a vending location?

Look for places where many people spend a long time and where you do not see a machine yet, such as offices, apartment buildings, hospitals, schools and gyms. The VendBuddy lead finder takes a ZIP code and lists nearby businesses, each rated High, Medium or Low for revenue potential with the reasons shown. Searching is free. Then you contact the person who decides.

Can I get a vending machine for free?

Often yes, if you own or manage a place with enough people. A local operator buys the machine, stocks it and fixes it, and the property normally pays nothing for the machine. Not every place qualifies, and VendBuddy is not the operator. The free check takes about a minute and tells you whether operators are likely to want your spot.

How do I sell my vending route?

List it on the VendBuddy marketplace. There is no listing fee and no commission. First check what it is worth with the free route valuation tool. VendBuddy does not hold the money and points both sides to a licensed third-party escrow company.

How do I make money with vending?

You put a machine in a good location, keep it stocked, and keep what is left after product, fees and any share of sales paid to the property. The location matters most. Take the 60-second quiz to get a plan, and use the income reality calculator to see honest numbers before you spend anything.

Where are vending machines for sale near me?

The VendBuddy marketplace lists machines, routes and locations that sellers have posted across the United States. Listings change, so check back, or post what you are looking for on the Wanted board. The machine finder compares machine types before you buy.

How accurate are the leads?

No lead list can promise that a business wants a machine or has none, and we do not claim it can. Each lead gets a rating with plain reasons, and it says Limited data when the evidence is thin. We cannot tell whether a building already has a machine. How a lead is rated, and what the rating cannot tell you, is written out on the lead finder page, so you can judge the method for yourself.
