Advice for finding locations for gumball machines?

[SaraK]

My 6-year-old son has been talking for months about wanting to earn money. He is too young to do most jobs that kids can hire out for like yard work, paper route, etc. I was thinking that investing in gumball machines might be a good option for him (with lots of supervision from me of course).

He and I did some research on the internet on how to do it, cost of machine and candy, etc. But the area that I couldn't find much info on was tips on finding good locations, how to approach business owners, what is a reasonable fee to pay owners to have the machine there, etc. And it seems to me like that is the most difficult part of the process.

So my question for the group here is, does anyone have experience doing this? Can you offer any advice? Do's and don'ts? What is reasonable "rent" to pay the owner of the property?

Any insight you can share would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
