Vending Machines: Not Just For City Kids
Traditionally when people think of vending machines, they think of bustling towns and cities or suburbia. They don’t often think of rural or regional Australia, and yet, this is where vending machines can have a real impact for business owners and consumers alike.
After all, convenience is just as appreciated outside of cities isn’t it? Perhaps even more, when restricted store opening hours and even store availability can come into play.
Mobile Central 24/7 believes that in these kinds of areas, vending machines can provide a real service and benefit.
With a small footprint, Mobile Central 24/7 vending machines will incur low or even possibly no rent costs; minimal operating costs (ie electricity); require no staff; and add an income stream for the machine host.
