    New Version of the Vending Formula

    It recently became obvious to us that our Vending Formula needed to be updated with new information. We moved “Location and Visibility” up to Priority #1 & #2 since this is the key to high vending sales. Security is still very important to safeguard the money and products, but all the...

    NEW EXPRESS EXTERIOR VENDPRO-iG4EE COMPLETED

    As a result we showed our proto-type for the ShurVend VendPro-iG4EE at the Car Wash Show 2013 held in April in Las Vegas. We used comments made at the show to guide us in tweaking the design to work better. The high security VendPro-iG4EE is designed for installation in the free vacuum area...

    NEW EXPRESS EXTERIOR VENDPRO-iG4EE COMPLETED

    I have been absent from the Forum for a few months retreating to my cave to finish the building of the first ShurVend VendPro-iG4EE designed specifically for the fast growing Express Exterior (EE) car wash models being built across the industry. In the EE models that I have seen and/or sold...

    Six feet of vending space-Which would you choose?

    GreenTreeCarWash You state you only have 6 feet of vending space with an old multivendor Rear Load that doesn't work. That leads me to think this is an old vending center probably near the bill changer. I respectfully ask you to "think outside the box" in planning your next move in...

    How Have Express Washes' Free Vacuums Strategy Affected You / Changed Your Biz Model?

    Kemp's set up!!! Kempape and all, I did help Kemp set up his idea to give free vending products to his customers that bought an IBA wash. What I did was to sell him an free standing 18-selection machine that he installed on a pedestal between the auto-cashier and the entrance to the IBA so...

    CarWash 2013 Show Report Continued

    There was a Post on the forum asking what was new at the 2013 show with many responses. From my perspective there were many new ideas, redesigns, and new approaches to both the hot, new Express Exterior business models and the more mature Self-Serve business model. The EE model is still...

    New ideas from the ICA show anyone?

    I.B., Thanks for your effort to set up the Forum dinner. The tables were set up up so it was hard to get around to see members, but that the way it is. As for Chicago I am more "underwhelmed" to exhibit there than anywhere else. I don't like the place at all. We exhibited there about...

    Vendor Placement at an Express Exterior

    As mentioned in other posts we have sold many vendors for use in the Express Exterior (EE) business model which has become the “place to be” in the past few years. We don’t often get asked to help an operator place the new vendor on a wash site, but we were asked in 2009. The operator sent...

    FLEX-SERVE paradigm recommends VENDING

    Mac, I don't want to start an argument about vending, but I would like to point out some inconsistencies in your knowledgeable friend. There would no extra labor since the attendents already there would do the servicing of the vendor. The customers are already vacuuming their cars and can...
