The Ice Vending Business Concept

Tired of paying your distributor $1.20 to $1.60 for every bag of ice you buy from them?

Worried that rising fuel and labour costs are going to increase the already high price you pay per bag?

Tired of dealing with theft and other loss of your packaged ice?

Looking to switch to a more environmentally friendly method of ice delivery and sale that doesn't require more big diesel trucks on our crowded roads?

Looking for ways to eliminate expenses and increase your hotel's profitability?

Looking for an exciting new business opportunity to take on part-time or as a career?

Interested in adding a low maintenance, high cash flow machine to your vending machine route?

If you answered "Yes" to any of these questions then ICE EXPRESS is for you!

Packaged ice vending is an exciting new business that we have introduced to Canada.  The reduced costs over traditional methods of ice retail combined with the amazing features of our machines open up tremendous opportunities to retailers, entrepreneurs, and hoteliers.  Buying or leasing an ICE EXPRESS machine is one of the easiest things you can do to increase your businesses profitability and it's a great way to start a new business too.

How many investments can deliver an ROI of greater than 100% in their first year alone?  How many nationally branded franchise businesses can be launched for as little as ICE EXPRESS costs?

The first packaged ice vending machines went into commercial production back in 2003 in Georgia, USA.  They quickly became a regional phenomenon, spreading across the American South like wildfire.  Over the years they have spread northward in the United States but these big American machines have always been too expensive for many climates or for placement at all but the busiest locations, with some costing as much as $120,000! 

These high prices and numerous regulatory hurdles have kept packaged ice vending out of Canada until Canadian Ice Vending came along and introduced ICE EXPRESS.  You can now own the only ice vending machine in the world specialized for the Canadian market for only a fraction of what the big American machines cost.  Even smaller American machines made by fly-by-night manufacturers sell for several times what ICE EXPRESS costs.

You are probably wondering, "Why are these crazy guys selling ICE EXPRESS for so little when they could charge so much more?"  The answer lies in our Founder's personal philosophy.  Though he might bristle at the term "populist", our Founder strongly believes that this great opportunity should be accessible to all, from the largest national chains to even the smallest independent convenience stores, hotels, and entrepreneurs.  He wants every ICE EXPRESS operator to be as happy and profitable as possible.  A large part of accomplishing that is keeping the cost of ownership low and combining it with great customer support.  Happy, profitable customers are the best advertising one can have.
