Vend price

Definition

The price per wash or dry cycle, which usually rises with less customer loss than most retail.

Why It Matters

Because demand is local and sticky, an increase here falls almost entirely to the bottom line, which makes the seller's pricing history both a valuation input and the most obvious upside available. Ask when prices last moved and what happened to turns afterwards. A store that has not raised in years is an opportunity; one that raised last month has already taken the improvement you were planning to underwrite.
