Wherever there's commerce, there should be an ATM!

There was a time when independent retailers didn't give ATMs a second thought. Today, flea market owners like Steve Blakewood see ATMs as indispensable.
In fact, the owner of the Waldo Farmers & Flea Market in Waldo, Fla. found that his first Triton ATM was so popular that he recently added a second. "We put in a second machine to handle the volume, so we wouldn't have a line," he said.
Blakewood's two Triton ATMs crank out about $25,000 in cash every weekend. He estimates about half of those withdrawals return to his 1000-plus merchants as direct cash sales.
"It's a convenience for our dealers because customers can get cash and go back to the booth," said Blakewood. "A lot of people don't intend to spend money but they end up seeing something they want, and come back two or three times to the machine."
It also doesn't hurt that the machines provide a constant stream of revenue at a reasonable transaction fee that supplements the market's income.
