Soda Routes USA Vending machine scam lenexa kansas
This company offers packages starting at 10 soda machines, where they find locations for such machines and do all the necessary paperwork with the bottler to open the accounts. They are very eager to get the initial payment to get everyting started, and once you do, they connect you to the operations deparrtmen (Ronnie Bowden) .
Everything seems to be on track the first two months as they claim to be doing all the paperwork. By the 3rd month, they said the machines should start to get delivered. Nothing happened. By the 6th month I was asking for my m.koney back, and their president (Van) stopped takkng my calls. Ronnie seemed to spend a lot of time sick.
I was able to meet with a bottler from the snapple group and learned that all Soda routes does is call them to open an account, something anyone can do, but it cost me $6000. I was able to get 2 machines from the snapple group. As far as locations Soda Routes is lousy, and didnt get anything good.
It has been over a year now and they stopped taking my calls altogether and dont respond emails. Total scam!! anyone trying to get into the vending business, avoid this company.

The vending machine con-game had been around for years and it's life is all because some people are so gullible to swallow hook, line and sinker all their BS. For example, you paid $6000 and you expected to get 10 machines, right?
Did you do any research as to how much refrigerated vending machines cost? You aren't going to get them for $600 a piece! That's the FIRST red flag and right there, should have put an end to your involvement.
