Frequently Asked Questions

How Does a Gumball Machine Work?

When a coin/token is inserted, the internal gears rotate to release a single gumball from the storage compartment into the dispensing chute. Some machines also feature adjustable mechanisms so you can control the vend size or switch between candy and toy capsules.

When Was the Gumball Machine Invented?

It all started in the late 1800s when the Thomas Adams Gum Company placed machines in New York City subway stations to sell Tutti-Frutti gum. Ford Mason revolutionized the industry in 1913 with his own machines and gum, with his legacy continuing today as Ford Gum still produces the popular Carousel Machine.

Do People Still Buy From Gumball Machines?

Absolutely! There’s a reason you still see these in restaurants, malls, waiting areas, and retail stores. People cannot resist the affordable treats, nostalgia, and impulse buying.

Do Gumball Machines Make Good Money?

They certainly can! A single high-traffic machine can easily make $20 to a few hundred dollars per month with almost zero maintenance. Multiple machines mean scalable, passive income. 

Are Gumball Vending Machines Profitable, Though?

They certainly can be. The gumballs cost pennies on the dollar, but customers pay 25 cents or more per vend. The markup is enormous. Once your gumball machine on stand is paid off you’re profiting everything someone buys a gumball.

Can I Put Any Candy in a Gumball Machine?

Not all candy works. Standard machines are designed for 1-inch gumballs or round candy like jawbreakers, runts, or peanut M&Ms. We have other types of candy machines if you want to explore additional options.

Where Can I Put a Gumball Machine?

The best locations for vending machines are high-traffic areas like retail stores, supermarkets, restaurants, fast food chains, malls, entertainment centers, waiting rooms, offices, schools, and arcades - the possibilities are endless.

How Many Gumballs Does a Gumball Machine Hold?

Small home-use machines hold around 250-500 gumballs, while large commercial vending machines can store 3,000+ gumballs at a time.
