Have You Noticed?
A 20 lb. bag of ice at Sam's Club is $2.69. At Lowe's Foods 18 lbs. is $2.99.Have you noticed ice plants in parking lots of shopping centers in your area? I'm aware of two in Winston-Salem and one in Mooresville. I am intrigued by the concept of selling ice from a coin operated unit that looks like a dressed up cargo shipping container.
The units offer 16 pounds of fresh bagged ice for $1.50 or 20 pounds at the same price if dumped into your portable ice chest container. Processed water is sold there for 25 cents per gallon or $1.00 for 5 gallons.
If you desire to start your own business, I believe this could be a profitable one. The investment would be $100,000. The ongoing expenses would be rent, utilities, and maintenance. There would be almost no labor cost. If the unit malfunctions, it automatically telephones the owner.

A better machine at only like 35k is found at bagofice.com
Bill,
I've been noticing the ice unit on Reynolda Road for over a year. I see it getting only a little use. I have no idea how much revenue it's bringing in monthly. The ice is high quality, but I doubt it would be a good investment at $35,000.
