The Route Market by the Numbers

ATM and vending routes are actively trading. Here's what the market actually looks like.

1.5–3×
ATM Portfolio Multiples
ATM portfolios with documented income and placement contracts sell at 1.5× to 3× Sellers Discretionary Earnings (SDE). Premium routes with long-term contracts and modern machines command the highest multiples.
70–75%
Operators Exited Since 2005
The independent ATM operator cohort has shrunk significantly as consolidation accelerated. Many routes are being passed to second-generation owners or sold to regional operators — creating active demand for qualified routes.

What VendGrid Charges Sellers
Zero. VendGrid makes money from buyers, not sellers. There are no listing fees, no commissions, no success fees. Price your route, list it, and deal directly with buyers.
10–12%
What Brokers Charge (We Don't)
Traditional business brokers charge 10–12% of the sale price. On a $150,000 ATM route, that's $15,000–$18,000 gone. VendGrid is free. List and keep the full amount.

The route market has never been more active. We see buyers from operators scaling up, PE-backed regional players, and first-time buyers every week. A well-documented route with financials moves in under 60 days.

Frequently Asked Questions

+
How much is my vending or ATM route worth?
Vending and ATM routes typically sell at 1.5x–3x their Sellers Discretionary Earnings (SDE / net profit). ATM portfolios with multiple machines and long-term placement contracts command the higher end of that range. Routes with strong location contracts, modern equipment, and documented income sell faster and at higher multiples. A route showing $4,000/month net profit is worth roughly $48,000–$96,000 depending on contract stability and equipment quality.
+
How does VendGrid Score work?
VendGrid Score is a 0–100 quality rating for every listing on the platform. It measures completeness (has photos, financial data, location info), financial transparency (revenue, net income, machine count), seller verification (contact info confirmed), and listing freshness. Listings scoring 70+ earn a "VendGrid Verified" badge. A high score means buyers can make fast, confident offers — and sellers close faster.
+
Is listing really free?
Yes, 100% free. VendGrid never charges sellers to list, feature, or sell their route or equipment. There are no commissions, no success fees, no "finders fees." We make money from buyers purchasing equipment or route details — not from sellers. If anyone asks you to pay to sell on VendGrid, it's not us.
+
What information should I include in my route listing?
Buyers need enough information to make a serious inquiry. Include: monthly and annual gross revenue, net profit (SDE), number of machines and brands, number of locations and location types, machine age, reason for selling, and whether placements are under contract or month-to-month. Listings with complete financials and photos get 3x more inquiries than incomplete listings.
+
How long does it take to sell a vending route?
Correctly priced routes with complete information typically receive serious inquiries within 7–14 days. Routes priced at market value — based on 1.5x–3x SDE — move faster than overpriced listings. Routes with documented income, strong location contracts, and verified financials sell fastest. Inactive or incomplete listings may sit for months.
+
Can I sell an ATM route that has existing placement contracts?
Yes — routes with existing placement contracts are more valuable than routes without them. Most buyers specifically look for routes where host locations are contracted for 1–3 years, as this provides income predictability. Contracts transfer with the sale in most cases, and the buyer typically assumes the same terms. Make sure to clearly note contract end dates in your listing.
