Established Vending Route - Private University
Business Description
Turnkey vending route located on a private university campus with a consistently growing student and staff population. The business includes seven combo vending machines — (five USI ST5000 units, one USI ST3000, and one AMS combo machine) — strategically placed in high-traffic areas such as student centers, lounges, and administrative buildings. One outdoor ST5000 combo is positioned near the campus gym under a protected concrete overhang, providing convenient access for students and athletes while remaining shielded from the elements.
All machines are owned outright (no leases). Each unit aside from the AMS currently accepts cashless payments (credit/debit and mobile pay) and is cleaned, stocked, and serviced regularly. The route currently requires stocking only 2–3 machines per week, yet sales remain steady — a buyer who increases the stocking schedule could realize a significant revenue boost.
The university setting offers a stable and captive customer base with strong year-round demand. In addition to the current placements, there are several campus buildings and on-site housing areas that can support additional machines, including some in immediate need of vending options. The university continues to expand enrollment and facilities, creating strong ongoing growth potential without the need to secure outside accounts.
Seller will provide a walk-through of each location, training on restocking and operations, and contact information for local service technicians and suppliers to ensure a seamless transition.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire an established, low-maintenance vending route in a secure and expanding institutional environment. The business offers steady revenue, simple operations, and clear upside through more frequent servicing and additional placements.
Reason for Selling:
Owner lives too far from the location and prefers to focus on other business ventures.
