If you are looking for information on the Allstate Investment Group franchise business opportunity, vending machine franchises or soda snack franchising, then you have come to the right place.
Secure your future with a lucrative vending opportunity!
In a recent nationwide survey, Vending Times Magazine stated, "Last year, over $42 billion was spent in vending machines in this country. Over 70% of that was spent on snacks and canned & bottled cold drinks...only 1% was spent in bulk vending machines."
Instead of restricting you to a small territory, we only accept one distributor for every 50,000 in population in that area, making it very simple for you to expand your business. Once you have your route built up to 20 locations, you can be making $150,000-$170,000 net profit per year, working about 17-18 hours a week, restocking 20 Soda & Snack Combo Machines that you own, and be your own boss.
It is also important to realize that we are a member of the Better Business Bureau of Metropolitan Dallas and have never had a single complaint. Whether you decide to do business with our company or not, do yourself a big favor - don't do business with any vending company that cannot prove they are a member in good standing with their local Better Business Bureau.
Recently Vending Times Magazine, the largest and oldest trade publication in the vending industry, published its 55th Annual Census of the industry. The census established the fact that locations where both snacks and drinks (cans and bottles) were available to the consumer made a yearly net profit of $8,010.60*. (Drink sales accounted for $4,680 in net profit and snack sales accounted for $3,330.60 in net profit). At $8,010.60 per year/per machine, and only one hour a week of your time for restocking, how many combos do you have time to restock in a week - 3...5...10?

The information presented may have changed since first published. We recommend that you always verify fees, investment amounts and offers with the business opportunity directly prior to making a decision to invest.
1. What training and ongoing support do you provide?
You want to know what happens after you pay the initial fee. A strong franchisor provides comprehensive pre-opening training, site-selection help, operational playbooks, and continuous assistance with marketing, technology, and supply chains.
2. What is the total initial investment, and did actual startup costs match the estimates in Item 7 of the FDD?
The Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) lists estimated startup costs in Item 7, but real-world expenses can run higher. Asking how closely current owners tracked to these estimates reveals if you need extra working capital or if hidden fees exist.
3. How do royalties and local/national marketing fees impact profitability?
You need to understand ongoing financial obligations-such as monthly royalty percentages and ad fund contributions-and evaluate whether the brand value and support justify cutting into your profit margins.
4. What are the common challenges new franchisees face, and how do you help them overcome them?
Transparent franchisors will openly discuss real hurdles like local competition, tight labor markets, or supply chain bottlenecks, and show you the exact playbook or field support they offer to solve them as well as allowing you to speak with other franchisees.
5. How many franchise locations have closed or left the system in the past few years, and why?
High turnover, store closures, or quiet franchise exits are major red flags. This question measures system stability, territory health, and whether the corporate team addresses struggling owners or lets them fail.
