The Quad City Business Times in Davenport, Ia. recently reported on the rapid growth of Vander Vending in Colonna, Ill. in the past year. For the full story, click here.
Editor’s Insight: What this report indicates is that vending is still a viable business opportunity for motivated entrepreneurs. This person operates close to 300 machines in addition to holding a full-time job.

What’s changed for these entrepreneurs is the capital needed to expand to serve larger locations. 01-27-12 By Elliot Maras
