> soo, im looking to spend a little cash and invest in something new, I see online this guy has 6 legit redbull machines. My ex girlfriend who im very good friends with works at planet fitness which is 24 hours which would be absolutely GREAT for a redbull machine. Im pretty sure If I gave each gym 20% theyd have no problem letting me throw a machine in there… What do you guys think, good or no??

if you could make 86k a yr i think everyone would get into the vending business

BJ’s sells 24 cans for $32 where could you get them cheaper?

The vending machines are about $1000 new, thats a very good price actually. In theory it sounds like a good idea, buttttt

I think you will run into problems actually putting them in the stores, you may know the people there but when the top dickheads roll through on their yearly visits they may not like it, not to mention they want all the profits from the machines, so if they see you making all this money why not just say screw you and do it themsleves and make 100% of the profits
