A bit of a story for why I have this question. I became a vegan a few years ago. I have few healthy options especially when I travel. One of the things that I regularly do while at home is to make a healthy smoothie. But when I go out, there’s smoothie bars I have to search and go to. Here’s the question - you can almost always find a coffee vending machine but not a smoothie vending machine. Is there a good reason for that? Is it as simple as people don’t care about having a smoothie? I have researched as much as I could. I pitched my idea to my friends and a couple investors (not my potential investors), they all said it was good but kept asking the same question. If it’s obvious, why hasn’t anyone made the product? For example: I see there’s smoothie bars at a lot of gyms these days. Usually a space about 10’x15’ plus one to two people is required to run the smoothie bar. Per my back of the napkin calculation, I can replace it with a box in a 4’x4” and about the same cost or less. There, I put the idea out there and would like to see strong critiques.
