Rare opportunity to acquire an established vending operation serving approximately 60 active locations throughout North Carolina, with its largest concentration in the New Bern and Morehead City markets.

The business has built a substantial base of established vending locations and generated approximately $410,000 in revenue during 2025.

The sale includes the vending machines currently servicing the route, approximately 80 credit-card readers, inventory, supplies, parts, money-counting equipment, hand trucks and other route-related operating equipment.

For an existing vending operator, this acquisition provides an opportunity to add a significant number of established locations without building a route one account at a time. It may also appeal to an owner-operator looking to acquire an established vending business with immediate revenue and an existing customer base.

Growth & Modernization Opportunity

One of the most attractive aspects of this business is the opportunity to modernize and further develop the existing locations.

A buyer may be able to increase revenue from the current customer base by upgrading equipment, expanding cashless payment capabilities, improving product selection, adding newer vending concepts or increasing the number of machines at higher-volume locations.

Rather than having to secure dozens of new accounts, a buyer is acquiring an established footprint that can potentially be improved and expanded over time.

Established Route

The business currently services approximately 58–60 locations, including a strong concentration in:

New Bern – approximately 26 locations
Morehead City – approximately 9 locations
Jacksonville – approximately 4 locations
Greenville – approximately 2–3 locations

Additional accounts are located throughout eastern and central North Carolina, including Havelock, Kinston, Washington, Pollocksville, Maysville, Newport, Cove City, Goldsboro, Smithfield, Holly Springs, Garner, Durham and Knightdale.

Included in the Sale

The transaction is expected to include:

Vending machines servicing the existing route
Approximately 80 credit-card readers
Existing inventory and supplies
Coin and money-counting equipment
Parts and service equipment
Hand trucks and other route-related operating equipment
Established customer/location relationships
Transition assistance from the seller

The seller's trucks and vans are not included in the asking price. Vehicles may be negotiated separately if desired by the buyer.

Ideal Buyer

This opportunity could be particularly attractive to an existing vending company seeking immediate route expansion in North Carolina or an entrepreneur looking to acquire an established operation rather than develop vending locations from scratch.

The business offers an existing revenue base, dozens of established locations, installed equipment and significant opportunity for a new owner to modernize and further develop the route.
