The foundation stone of our Snack-a-Can Franchise is our unique ability to acquire almost limitless quality sites that span 72 different business categories within the Retail, Leisure, Commercial, Industrial, Government and Licensed Trades to name but a few. Developed over 14 years ago, this enviable ability has made us the leading vending site location provider in the UK typically acquiring 1500 - 2000 new sites a month for our growing army of operators via a full time team of professional site locators. You would be right to assume that a service of this quality and sophistication would be expensive, but you would be wrong, in-fact the Vending Revolution site locating service is THE LOWEST cost service in the UK. So how are we able to offer this amazing service for such little cost? The answer lays with our unique and powerful techniques that enable us to only target those sites that are FULLY qualified via our extensive real time databases. Many competitors have attempted to emulate and poorly copy our service but none have succeeded.

Having access to quality locations is fundamental to business growth but the fuel of growth is PROFIT, and this is another area where the Snack-a-Can Franchise is unbeatable. The reason for this exceptional profit is the industry low site commission that the operator pays the site. Presently independent operators are having to pay between 25% and 40% to secure a site, our operators pay a staggering low 5% that puts at least a further 20% profit on your bottom line, this is the extra profit that powers your growth and gives you the lifestyle that you went into business to enjoy.


- HIGHEST MINI-CAN VENDING PROFIT
In the unlikely event that another Mini-can vending company offer you a higher like for like gross % profit - WE WILL PAY YOU THE DIFFERENCE!

- LOWEST SITE COMMISSION
In the unlikely event that another vending company offer you a lower like for like site commission % - WE WILL PAY THE DIFFERENCE FOR YOU!

- NO SITE POACHING
In the unlikely event that you have to remove a Snack-a-Can Tower due to poaching of your site - WE WILL REPLACE IT WITH A SIMILAR SITE FREE!


We have a saying…


During our 17 years in the industry we have seen many independent operators fail due to avoidable operational mistakes and misjudgements that can soon cost an unwary novice dearly. For this reason we provide not only initial training, but importantly, ongoing practical support and business development that effectively removes the chances of getting it wrong! Do not under estimate the importance of our support and practical experience it is the difference between real success and failure.

The Stack-up
In the following example we have compared like for like against a typical plastic tubs stock supplier. We have taken one of the top selling products, Jelly Beans, as an example, all figures include VAT. The site commission quoted for the comparison against our 5% is based on a realistic average commission that is being widely paid by other independent operators today. The commission paid by independent operators ranges from a now rare 20% to a staggering 40%, which is now regularly paid by desperate operators and other franchise companies when acquiring sites for their operators.

Snack-a-Can Franchisee	Other Mini-Can Franchise
Vend Revenue £1.00   Less cost of product .38   Less site commission 5% .05   Total gross profit: .57p	Vend Revenue £1.00   Less cost of product .42   Less site commission 25% .25   Total gross profit: .33p

Do not be seduced by the low headline prices of inferior mini-can vendors, most DO NOT INCLUDE stands or even essential labels and some even have hidden management charges!

The cost of our Snack-a-Can Tower Vendors INCLUDE access to our powerful Franchise and unbeatable profit format. The fully developed Snack-a-Can Tower Vendor is of the highest quality and is designed for long term reliability and durability backed up by a next day comprehensive spares and servicing back-up service.



NEW Snack-a-Can vendor



Snack-a-Can the ULTIMATE product range

The vendingrevolution dot com is not new to re-inventing and shaking up the vending industry, our revolutionary approach to Bulk Vending, which we launched 16 years ago, still dominates the vending industry as the most successful vending formula in the UK today. Over the past 3 years we have researched and field trialled over 500 mini-can nut vendors to establish their viability, and more importantly, their products.

Unfortunately, we were disappointed with their performance that confirmed our thoughts concerning the limited choice and suitability of the imported product range. We reasoned the way ahead had to be with a dedicated UK optimised wider stock range, which we pioneered, packing them ourselves in clear plastic tubs. This unique approach has seen us achieve massive sales increases of over 70% over traditional imported mini-can products.

The eventual choice of product range has involved a long-term evaluation at hundreds of sites to ensure maximum repeat sales. Our Initial launch range contains a professionally packaged selection of 13 confectionery and 2 nut products, all proven repeat sellers enabling the operator to fine-tune each site.




STOP PRESS....
Due to our partnership with the UKs No. 1 nut company "Planters - Big D" we are pleased to announce the launch of our new range of top selling branded products - Big D Salted Peanuts and Big D Dry Roasted Peanuts, also available is their premium Healthy Eating brand "Berry Nutty" offering the highest quality healthy mixes including, Fruit & Nut with Cranberries, Fruit & Nut with Yogurt Raisins and Peanuts and Jumbo Blanched Peanuts and Raisins. This well known UK branded nut range is what the consumer has been demandeding for years and at last are now availble to increase your sales like never before.

SOME INTERESTING FACTS

How we got it wrong

After our decision to develop a top selling range our first challenge concerned the packaging method for our new brand. We initially sourced suitable size clear plastic tubs. Intended for the toy industry, these cheap plastic tubs with snap on lids appeared to offer a quick and low cost solution to the problem, unfortunately the cracks – quite literally – began to appear.

As these clear plastic tubs were never intended for the food packaging industry they proved to be extremely fragile and brittle and would often crack. This was minor though compared to the expensive “Glasshouse” effect. Due to the clear plastic allowing day light into the tubs - even on a cold day - they acted as glasshouses, and having no ventilation, the heat build-up in the tubs caused the product to melt wasting hundreds of pounds worth of product not to mention turning customer off from using the vendor! The final problem we suffered concerned the freshness of the product. We soon discovered that the normal air trapped in the tubs made the product stale and customers were not repeat purchasing, even worse they were not telling us why they were not satisfied.

Desperate to solve these problems we tried flexible Polypropylene tubs. Although these prevented the cracking it did nothing to stop the product from being damaged by light and normal air and unfortunately introduced a serious new problem. Polypropylene is a flexible, milky, opaque plastic that MASKS the product making it look visually dull and unappetizing which affected sales.

Despite all these serious problems a notable increase in sales was achieved in the short term but we knew that with these worrying limitations we would never be able to maximise the full potential of our extensive product range and it would be out of the question to offer these unsatisfactory tubs to our operators. We had to beat these problems if we were to meet our objectives of Maximum Repeat Sales and Total Customer Delight.

How we got it right

After consulting with industry experts the decision was taken to develop our own high quality Metal Composite can with an air tight heat sealed aluminium foil lid that would be designed to fulfil our brief for a professional packaging solution that solved ALL the problems.

The final design uses the EXACT same construction and materials as used by all the worlds leading food producers and packagers such as Pringles, Cadburys, Mars, Nestles, KP, Planters, McVities all who demand the ultimate in packaging quality. Finally, we went one step further and insisted on a high gloss photographic quality finish label which gave the can a "high end" feel made the product look irresistable! To ensure we maintain the highest quality control a further major investment was made in establishing two all new production and distribution facilities totalling over 8,000sq ft, and incorporating state of the art weighing, filling and MAP-F heat sealing technology.

The fully automated and computer controlled MAP-F Modified Atmosphere can sealing equipment is the absolute pinnacle of modern food packaging, which flushes the can free of normal air (oxygen) and replaces it with food quality Nitrogen gas to prevent the product from rapidly deteriorating and becoming stale due to oxidisation from normal air. This results in the product being as fresh when opened as when it was packed as well as extending the best before date. Our total investment in this project has exceeded £1/2million with a further major investment in a second complete packaging line to handle the constantly growing demand from both UK and European operators, and ensure that consumers get the VERY BEST PRODUCT and operators get MAXIMUM REPEAT SALES and PROFITS.

Our new 8000 Square foot production and distribution facilities.

State fo the art MAP-F fully automated weighing,
filling and sealing equipment.

Consider this...

If you operate just 15 mini-can vendors and you are able to increase your sales by just ONE sale per day, five days per week you would gross an EXTRA £3900 per year!
