Thinking About Buying a Cotton Candy Vending Machine — Looking for Advice
Hey everyone! I’m seriously considering purchasing a fully automated cotton candy vending machine and would love to hear from operators who currently own one.
For those who have experience with these machines:
What types of locations have performed best for you?
Are children’s museums, malls, trampoline parks, arcades, or family entertainment centers good locations?
What would you consider a good number of daily sales?
Do you typically pay fixed monthly rent or offer the location a percentage of sales?
How much maintenance/cleaning do these machines realistically require?
Is there anything you wish you knew before purchasing your first machine?
I’m especially interested in hearing **real numbers and experiences—good or bad**. I’m trying to make sure I choose the right location before making the investment.
Thanks in advance! Any advice from experienced vending operators would be greatly appreciated.
