Healthy Vending Machines? While filling our vending machines I would occasionally get asked by a customer at a location to include some healthier snacks. We would use granola bars, sesame snaps, and unsalted peanuts and even tried protein bars.

Unfortunately, healthier snacks cost more than traditional bars and chips and required we put a premium price on them. We always let the locations customers decide what went in our machines and let them vote with their wallet. Although locations would ask for healthier snacks we inevitably sold a greater percentage of traditional chips and bars. Usually to the point where we would only have 1-2 healthy items in a 48 selection snack machine. And those items were still the poorest seller. We were in the vending business to make money and therefore stocked products that sold.

Readers Comments From someone who has absolutely NO familiarity with the vending business, I found your writing to be very informative and frank. In fact, I have re-read some portions and each time I retrieve a piece of information I overlooked in a previous reading. There are some topics you discussed that I had already implemented (quite by mistake, I might add). Thanks again! Jody Goldman ..(email on file)
