What are the types of vending suppliers?
are the companies that actually manufacture the products or machines. Usually selling through distributors or brokers. Occasionally selling directly to the vending operator at discount prices. DISTRIBUTORS sell machines and/or products directly to you in your area. Some distributors may have products and vending equipment in stock with warehouse space, assisting you with vending equipment, product, parts, and financing. RETAIL WHOLESALERS are a specific kind of retail distributor. Often a retail wholesaler has a large, easily accessible inventory that they will resell to the public at wholesale prices. Well known retail wholesalers such as Sam’s Club or Costco Wholesale, which require a membership to purchase products. BROKERS act as middlemen between manufacturing companies, retailers or distributors, selling products to the smaller local vending business vendor.
