The Vending Machine Oasis

“Throughout Europe and Japan clusters of vending machines are quite common. Get & Go Express is the first of its kind in the United States. We are experiencing from 1,000 to 1,200 vends per day at our test locations, 90% of which are from drive in traffic.” says Jeffrey A. Parsons, Founder and CEO, Get & GO Express.

Jeff Parsons has introduced a unique franchise business model by designing a portable structure equipped with vending machines. The structure can house up to 34 vending machines offering soda, candy, chips, hot food, other snacks and merchandise. The structure is laced with a built in security surveillance system and each vending machine is equipped with a wireless data reporting device. The machines can be lighted at night for the convenience and safety of the customers. The business can be operated 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, that too without employees! The owner has to clean and fill the machines only once a week. Major advantage of the structure is it’s mobility. If the location of the business is not profitable, it can be relocated with minimal cost.

Get & Go Express is fully functional in Springfield, Illinois, since September 2004. Parsons has patented the vending machine oasis. He is planning to sell franchis throughout United States. This April, Get & Go Express will open four outlets in West Central Florida.

One of the many advantages of this franchise business is flexibility in investment, ranging from $75,000 to $275,000. The franchise is offered complete with structure, vending equipment, site selection, set-up, on-site training, and on going support. At present 32 different types of vending machines are available and there are going to be new additions offering snacks like Tombstone pizza in just 90 seconds.

Sounds like a profitable franchise business offer, what say ye?
