Asset Sale Description
Background:
This is not a fully passive vending machine business. This is a high-volume and recession proof business that is setup to be turnkey for the new owner. This business grosses over $327,000 and requires frequent servicing of the vending machines. The larger locations sell out of drinks, snacks, and food within 2-3 days. Please note that this business works directly with the State of Georgia. Therefore, the state of Georgia will require a background check and can audit / drug test whenever they deem fit. The new operator and its employees will need to take this into consideration. Lastly, please leave a voicemail or text message if I am unable to pick up - I will return your call as soon as possible.
Background:
This vending machine business contains 4 multi-year contracts with 4 Georgia State Prisons. These locations are 1-2 hours south of Macon. The contracts grant exclusivity rights to serve food, drink, and snacks - there is no food allowed inside the state prisons.

All locations have growing inmate populations. In addition, 2 of the 4 locations are almost done with new construction that will house even more inmates.
This business includes 39 vending machines, all equipped with Cantaloupe Card Readers, that provide food, drink, and snack machines. Majority of the vending machines include a 1 year warranty and the rest of the machines have a 2 year warranty. In addition, all machines have free lifetime phone support. So, if the new owner has any questions beyond the transition period then they are covered. In addition, the business includes an optional 2024 Ford Transit Cargo Van that is utilized for transport.
