Action
Action (Vending)
Current net sales in the industry has declined every year for over the past 20 years because of all the information out there about snacks and health concerns.

We have to look at other areas to keep profits up to each years level.  The ability to do this has been accomplished by buying from other sources such as Sam's Club.

Our profits are currently running above this past year even though we have added 2 extra employees to help with the full time recycling program. The labor will continue to rise with the additions of all the dorms to the route.

The profits will also be affected by the opening of the new dorm which comes out of our profits and can account for and extra $ 25,000.
