Hawg if you read this, how did you target ALFs/nursing homes? Walking in and talking to someone?

Yessir. Something I have never done but thought about was little retirement apartments and such. Throw out a bone of offering to provide drinks and snacks for holiday celebrations at the places as well. This beats giving them a percentage.

My rule of thumb is targeting places that there is no threat of machines getting broken into. Nothing outdoors, which I think I have probably said in this thread.

Also, what are your thoughts on coffee vending machines? Would like to add a few to some of the locations

Never looked into it really. I am a big coffee drinker and any instant coffee like that I have ever had, sucked. But that is just me.

I strictly have drink machines, snack machines, and cold food machines. Have started selling phone charging cords, tylenols, and pepto as our police training facility. Sort of a test run. Large mark up on those.

In nursing homes or retirement places, be prepared to NOT be able to sell energy drinks. Each one I have will not allow those.
