Josh Worley is a full-time attorney in Roswell, New Mexico. When he learned about Ice House America vending machines, he saw an opportunity to run a side business and earn extra income, without interfering with his busy career and active lifestyle. Working with his brother and law partner, Worley invested in an ice vending machine and soon owned several machines across Texas and New Mexico. The ability to run the business without the need for employees first sparked Worley’s interest in ice vending, and the machine’s high quality brought him to Ice House America.
David Kocon owns five Ice Houses in the greater Albuquerque area. After running the business and experiencing how the ice machines work, Kocon saw an opportunity to expand his own business and help others get started as well. He became the dealer for the state of New Mexico, and helped other owners start and manage the 58 machines across the state. After a career in financial services, Kocon was attracted to the idea of a business that was both lucrative and flexible. He carefully maintains and monitors his machines, helps others get started with a successful ice business, and still has time for playing golf and fishing.

Flint Dewitt is from Canton, Illinois. Flint owns three machines in the Canton area, one in Lewistown, and is getting ready to purchase his fifth machine. Flint saw his first Ice House America machine when he was on vacation and started researching how to become an owner as soon as he got home. Since becoming an owner, Flint likes the flexibility of the machines the most, the machines do the work without needing to be present 24/7.
Steve Kennedy owns two machines in Glendale, Arizona. Steve first got into the business when he was visiting family in Oklahoma and had to run out to get ice. He really liked the concept, did some research, and opened up his first machine in his hometown. Steve then opened his second machine a mile down the road as an offload to his first machine (it was so busy and couldn’t keep up with the traffic). Steve likes the quality of the water and ice the most and gets a lot of compliments from his customers.
“Before Ice House America, we could not have imagined an opportunity that has a low time commitment and no employees. It is rare to find a business that has low overhead and allows you to invest in a $4 billion industry that is essentially recession-proof. We could not be happier with how this new adventure of ours has turned out.”
“Having a background in the dry ice business, I had a pretty good understanding of the potential for the ice industry. However, I was not expecting how successful of a business model it would be when ice vending and water are combined at one convenient location. IHA has exceeded all of my expectations, and I look forward to growing this new business venture for many years to come.”
“The business opportunity offered by Ice House America allows us to 1) provide products and services that deliver exceptional value and customer experience (better, cheaper and faster!) to our local community 2) without staff investment or a full-time commitment… and 3) we are very happy with the ROI and potential future growth. We are proud to be part of a growing business segment that is successfully disrupting/revolutionizing the way people purchase ice (our tagline is, “Why would you ever go anywhere else?!”) and we love being part of the Ice House America community.”
