Many ads promise instant cash with no selling in a proven business, and suggest that routes set up by a location company may earn much more for a few hours of work per week!

In many cases, vending equipment is purchased and paid for in advance by unsuspecting buyers who never receive their vending machines. Some buyers choose to believe the fraudulent promoters who make offers that are too good to be true.

Hanna encourages potential buyers of vending equipment to check with other sources, including the Yellow Pages, Better Business Bureau and the Attorney Generals' office (to name a few) before jumping into the "deal"!!

Some owners or employees of large and small vending and distribution operations may even resort to hostile and unusually aggressive behavior toward both the unsuspecting buyer and even against the legitimate, competitive, vending organizations in the market place.

Every year, the Hannas volunteer hundreds of hours educating potential purchasers of vending machines about the good, bad and ugly aspects of vending.

It is amazing to discover that approximately 8 or 9 out of every 10 inquiries at Hanna results in such individuals decided against what they thought was a "get rich quick" opportunity. Occasionally, a truly interested party may decide to investigate further and even pursue the possibilities of vending.

Obviously, some corruption and ugly politics in the vending industry is alive and well. However, due to the positive action that Hanna has taken in the above matters over the past 15 years, Hanna customers and thousands of vending curiosity seekers, through contact with our various divisions, have relied on our expertise to present a true picture of our hard-working, competitive, service driven industry. We will continue to offer free and factual information about the vending industry with confidence into the 90's.

Today, Hanna is a positive, fearless force that is large enough to serve and small enough to care in every aspect of vending.
