This concept refers to established points of sale for automated retail units, already equipped with the necessary infrastructure and, often, an existing customer base. These pre-existing setups can include spaces within office buildings, retail stores, hospitals, schools, or other high-traffic areas. A prospective buyer acquires not just the machinery but the placement itself, inheriting the potential revenue stream associated with that particular spot.
Acquiring an established point of sale offers significant advantages compared to starting from scratch. Key benefits include a reduced initial investment in site selection and setup, access to a pre-existing customer base, and potentially faster profitability. Historically, acquiring these established locations has been a common entry point for entrepreneurs seeking to enter the automated retail market, offering a more manageable and less risky starting point. The ability to assess existing sales data provides a more informed investment decision compared to projecting revenue for a brand-new location.
