Starting a vending machine business involves several key steps, including choosing the right equipment, securing profitable locations, managing your inventory, and planning your finances wisely. The #VendLife team offers 1-on-1 Coaching Sessions (found under the mentorship & coaching tab) to walk you through every step of the process with real-world strategies and support.
Vending machine prices vary depending on the condition, features, and technology. Used or third-market machines typically range from $800 to $2,500, while refurbished or reconditioned machines usually cost between $3,500 and $7,000. If you're looking for brand-new equipment shipped directly from the manufacturer, expect to invest upwards of $7,500 per machine.
We're also seeing exciting new technology enter the market—like AI-powered smart coolers, which are changing the game. These innovative machines start around $3,000 and up, depending on features and capacity.
Finding the right locations is key to success, and #VendLife makes it easy. Through our Locations/Routes Service, we provide access to operator-ready vending locations and routes throughout New Jersey and the surrounding areas.

They can—and for many, it’s a profitable source of semi-passive income. When you’ve got the right machine in the right location, you can make $200, $300, even $400+ per day without being tied to a desk or clocking in anywhere.
The secret? It’s all in the setup: machine type, product selection, and steady foot traffic matter. Whether you're looking to supplement your income or build a full-time business, vending can absolutely deliver—as long as you treat it like a business, not just a hustle.
No worries—we’ve got your back! #VendLife offers maintenance and repair services to keep your machines running smoothly. For some issues, it might be worth calling the manufacturer directly, as they can often walk you through troubleshooting steps for free.
