A friend once told me that water vending station businesses are highly profitable, with impressive profit margins, which initially made it seem like a great opportunity. However, he also warned me that licensing and regulatory hurdles can be a major challenge—something many people overlook. Recently, he went as far as to say that water vending stations have become the new scam in town, possibly because of how misleading the promises of easy profits can be when the realities of bureaucracy and compliance hit. It made me think twice about venturing into such a business, and I’m curious if anyone else has ever considered it or looked into the details.
