I've got a Pepsi machine in a nursing home. I don't like to take money out of my bank account to waste on things like CD's and beer and video games, so I use the cash from the pop machine for that. I can just imagine if you had a few of those in high traffic areas it would bring in some nice coin.
I have a friend that had a good vending machine business going. He sold it recently for $175,000 Canadian. He had a contract with a local truck stop on a major highway that made big bucks. (the Flying J on the 401, for anyone in Ontario) Arcade machines, pool tables, as well as food and pop machines in other areas.
It's a great business to be in. Kind of a bitch in Canada though when they keep releasing these stupid new coins. It costs about $300 per machine to replace the coin changer to work with the new coins, so that pissed a lot of people off who had dozens of machines.
