Everyone is familiar with the present system of purchasing ice at grocery or convenience stores. You’ve probably experienced it yourself; standing in line to pay, collecting your bag (if you remember), and at some point, banging the ice on a hard surface to break it into useable pieces and sometimes breaking the bag. “Twice the frustration” With an Ice House, ice is produced and delivered to the consumer using a unique patented vending strategy. In 8 seconds, a 16 pound bag of ice is bagged and dispensed – or 20 pounds of bulk ice is dropped directly into the consumer’s cooler – at half the local market price. The ice is chipped, deliciously chewable, and never frozen together in hard chunks. This fully automated, self-serve Ice House delivers ice 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
