Best Locations for ATMs

Best Locations For ATMs

Are you looking to buy an ATM or take advantage of a Free ATM Placement? One of the most common questions asked is: “What are the best locations for ATMs?”

The simple answer is the best ATM locations are sites where cash is used frequently or required to be used for purchases. The best ATM sites break down into 3 categories:

Sites Where Cash Is The Only Form Of Payment Accepted

Cannabis dispensaries are required by law to accept only cash. Therefore, they are excellent locations for ATMs. There are specific regulations for placing ATMs in dispensaries which must be followed, and Lieberman Companies has extensive experience providing ATMs to cannabis locations.

Gaming – Cash can only be used in locations that have Charitable Gaming for purchases such as pull tabs and electronic gaming (where legal). If you have gaming at your location, an ATM is an excellent addition and will generate more activity and sales. Some of the cash will be spent on drinks and food as well.

Service Businesses Where Cash Is Preferred For Payment And Tipping

Hair salons, barber shops, nail salons, and tattoo shops can be excellent locations. The providers prefer or only accept cash payments, especially for tips.

Many service businesses are high volume and have a high flow of customers daily. The best ATMs in hair and nail salons, barber shops and tattoo parlors accept cash as primary form of payment and have steady foot traffic.

Convenience Stores

ATMs first appeared in convenience stores and are excellent sites for several reasons:

  1. Heavy foot traffic.
  2. Cash is required for purchases for items like lottery tickets, Powerball, or Mega Millions.
  3. Customers are used to getting cash at a convenience store.
  4. In many communities, especially rural and lower income areas, banks have closed and the ATM at a convenience store becomes the de facto financial access point.

All the industries mentioned above represent proven opportunities for businesses to increase revenue, improve customer satisfaction, and create competitive advantages. Whether you’re considering your first ATM or looking to optimize an existing machine, a strategic placement in high-traffic, cash-intensive environments delivers measurable results.
