How Ice & Water Vending Works
Ice House America ice vending machines create fresh clean ice and can vend that ice into bags or directly into a cooler. The machine also has the capability to vend water to fill up a water bottle or for a full water cooler.
- Our franchisees typically charge $1.50 or more for a bag of ice and $1.00 or more for a 5 gallon water fill up.
- Construction workers, restaurants, and individuals use our machines everyday for their bulk ice needs providing a consistent source of revenue.
