Whether you’re looking to start your own business and purchase your first ice vending machine, or looking to roll out a nationwide strategy to replace bunker ice with vended ice at your retail locations—we’ve got you covered.
In 2003, we got tired of the old ice sitting around at the local gas station in a bunker outside. We got angry when it was out of stock on the holidays. We were irritated at how much you had to pay and how little ice you received.
We decided to change how ice is made and delivered forever. We created a new model where convenience store owners and entrepreneurs could make and vend their own ice and water—providing a better product for less than the traditional methods.
There are a lot of individuals out there looking for creative ways to use some savings to make even more money. Some folks try their hand at buying rentals, others might try starting a service-based business on the side. But most businesses are hectic, expensive, and time-consuming. Running a business often requires up-front capital, hiring employees, managing payroll, and more. Ice and water vending is different.
Ice and water vending doesn’t require inventory management, employees, or restocking. By simply supplying cheap resources like electricity and water, your machine continually makes sales and you make money. With minimal weekly maintenance and potential customers that include every human being in the area, ice and water vending machines are the ultimate low-maintenance business for busy entrepreneurs.
Ice House America has helped national organizations like Circle K, QuikTrip, Wawa, and many others replace overpriced bunker ice with ice made, bagged, and vended on-site. Too many organizations have gotten used to thinking of ice as a loss leader. Instead of paying $2+ per bag to store in a bunker, you can be paying ten to twenty cents to make and vend on-site. Our ice and water machines are available 24/7 and you never have to worry about unsanitary storage or unwieldy ice blocks, wasting employee time to unlock a bunker, theft, or running out of stock.
We’ve connected our website to SmartIce, our industry-leading remote vending machine monitoring platform. This shows real, aggregated data across thousands of our monitored ice and water machines.

Ice House America owns the Twice the Ice brand, but you’re free to leverage it when you purchase a machine from IHA, or make your own brand. When you buy from IHA, you can put whatever logo or branding you want on your machine.
However, plenty of our buyers choose to use the household name of Twice the Ice (TTI). There are thousands of TTI-branded machines in the world, and individuals use twicetheice.com to find locations near them. Twice the Ice’s brand recognition and high-quality reputation helps ice and water entrepreneurs immediately tap into a lucrative brand name, with absolutely no franchising fees.
