Increased revenue
A fixed rent for the lease of your space — additional income that is completely passive for you.
Lease us 20 sq ft.
Keep the rest of your day.
We are looking for a win-win-win: passive income for the property owner, better and cheaper ice for the end customer, and a strong location for us. Here is precisely what that looks like on your side.
At a glance
Four reasons property owners partner with us
Better customer experience
Your customers get 24/7 access to top-quality ice and water, whether or not anyone is behind the counter.
Zero maintenance
These machines are built for minimal maintenance — and we are the ones doing it. You focus on your core business.
Positive brand association
You are putting your name next to a product built around quality and sustainability, not a stack of melting pallets.
Who does what
The short version: we do it, you don't
There is no ambiguity in this partnership. This is the full division of labour.

Location criteria
What makes a site work
Our partners meet a short list of criteria. If you are close on most of them, it is still worth a conversation — we would rather look at it than have you rule yourself out.
- High-traffic business. Marinas, beaches, gas stations, grocery stores, shopping centers, campgrounds and similar.
- Roughly 20 sq ft. The machine is 46″ wide by 56″ deep by 97″ tall, plus about 6″ behind it and 2 ft each side for service access.
- Water and power within reach. They do not need to be at the spot already — all site improvement and installation fees are paid by us.
- No sewage needed. Unlike other operators, we do not require a drain connection, so plenty of spots that get turned down elsewhere work for us.
- Willingness to partner. A straightforward, mutually beneficial agreement — nothing exotic.
A live install at a marina — water, power, and about 20 sq ft.
