About most candy machines

Candy vending machines are very popular automatic merchandisers.

They sell candy like Skittles, Snickers, and M&Ms. Often they also sell popcorn and potato chips. Candy vending machines come in all sizes, from small to large. A small machine might offer six choices and a giant kiosk might have hundreds of selections. Large kiosk vending machines can be designed to look like sail boats, buses, cable cars, and other novelty shapes. Beaver Vending sells Black Dog Woodwork designs such as Wazoo Toys and Candy Cable Car kiosks vending machines.

Most candy machines, however, are relatively small and offer 32 to 40 different selections. You can double up the more popular items, devoting two or more slots for one product if you wish.

Almost all candy vending machines have a glass front so that consumers can see exactly which candy they are getting. This is not true for most soda machines because people already know what a standard 12-ounce can of soda looks like.

If you want to buy a candy vending machine, make sure you have some good locations in mind. You’ll want to set the vending machine at an eye level that is right for the location. If you place it in or near a toy store, for example, set the machine at the eye level of the average child. If you place your candy machine in a train station, go for a near-adult eye level. Never set the eye level higher than five or six feet, however, because children will always be your main customers.
