i have been considering operating a vending machine as a viable business venture; an important factor is to get the location right i.e place with high human traffic(cybers,arcades,plazas, malls etc) and charge the products at a reasonable price (most vending machines have exorbitant prices on simple merchandise ). The operating costs according to me would be the electricity bill and money for repairs and maintenance. fellow wazuans i seek your wise counsel on this; feel free to changia

@layman i think you didnt get the title well its about running a vending machine as a business venture. a vending machine can be used to dispense all those things you quoted but at a central point.....its your proverbial one-stop-shop. most that i have seen in kenya dispense; chocolates, icecreams, sweets, sodas etc
