Some business owners waste days scrolling Craigslist and auction sites hunting for a “cheap” vending machine. Others shell out $2,000 for a clunky, used unit that breaks within a year. But here’s the truth: if you’re looking to add snack vending to your office, gym, apartment complex, or school, you probably don’t need to buy anything at all.

First things first, micro market vending machines don't really exist. It's a misnomer. But since so many people search for information using that specific term (because they don't realize it), we had to put together an article you could find so that we could set the record straight.

There’s a difference between placing a vending machine and placing it where people use it.
Summer changes everything. People are outside. They’re hot. They’re lazy. They don’t want to walk across the building for a bottle of water or dig through a cooler at the concession stand that’s never stocked. They want cold. They want now.
That’s why location isn’t just a detail; it’s the difference between steady sales and zero movement.
Forget square footage. Think footsteps. You want machines where people are already standing, waiting, or sweating.
