When it comes to vending machines, one of the most critical decisions you can make is where to place it. Even the best-stocked machine won’t turn a profit if it’s tucked away in a low-traffic area or in front of the wrong audience. That’s why at Feel Good Snacks, we go beyond vending machines for sale—we offer full location guidance and support, ensuring your investment works as hard as you do.

Let’s explore how the right location can supercharge your vending business—and how we help make sure you get it right.

Why the Right Location Matters

The success of a vending machine isn’t just about what’s inside. It depends on:

Foot traffic volume
Demographics (age, occupation, health-consciousness)
Dwell time (how long people stay nearby)
Competition (other machines or convenience stores)

When you combine a great location with strategic product selection, profits follow.

Top-Performing Vending Locations in Canada Based on data from across our vending network, these are consistently high-performing locations:

Office Buildings: Especially mid-size firms with 30+ employees, where convenience and time-saving are key.
Gyms and Fitness Centres: Perfect for protein bars, electrolyte drinks, and wellness-focused snacks.
Community Centres and Libraries: These often have less nearby food access, making vending machines more valuable.
Manufacturing Facilities and Warehouses: Great for shift workers needing quick access to energy-boosting snacks.
Educational Institutions: Colleges, tutoring centres, and training campuses drive high-volume snack sales.

What Makes a Spot Profitable?

A profitable location has a few core traits:

High foot traffic (ideally 100+ daily visitors)
Limited food options nearby
Indoor or semi-sheltered space for weather protection
Security and visibility (avoids vandalism)
Access to electricity and possibly Wi-Fi

We also help evaluate power availability and physical dimensions to match the right machine model to the space.

Vending Machine Locations for Sale Instead of leaving you to figure out where to place your machine, we’ve created a dedicated page for operators and investors interested in locations for sale or lease. These listings are curated opportunities where vending machines are already performing or have high potential.

You can view available spots, inquire for more information, and choose a site that fits your business model—all with zero cold calling or chasing property managers.

Tips for Evaluating a Location Opportunity Whether you’re reviewing one of our listings or considering your own options, use this checklist:

Confirm consistent foot traffic patterns (especially during peak hours)
Ask about access to electricity and lighting
Understand who uses the space (age group, needs, preferences)
Check whether competitors already serve the space
Consider how your product mix could offer something different or better

Red Flags to Watch For

Remote or poorly lit areas: Higher risk of vandalism or theft
Over-saturated markets: Avoid buildings with multiple existing machines
Limited access hours: Machines need consistent visibility

Case Study: Boosting Earnings with a Location Switch David originally placed his machine in a small co-working space. Sales were modest. After consulting the Feel Good Snacks team and reviewing available locations for sale, he moved it to a high-traffic physiotherapy clinic nearby. Within the first month, sales jumped 80%.

“The right place made all the difference. It’s like a different business,” David shared.

Important Reminder: Location Review is Ongoing Consumer habits change. We help you:

Evaluate whether a location is underperforming
Relocate machines to better sites
Update product mix if demographics shift
