Turnkey Ice & Water Vending Business With Two Strong Alabama Locations:
This listing includes two 2023 Everest Ice & Water VX3 vending machines installed at proven, high-traffic commercial locations in Helena and Childersburg. These are modern, fully automated ice and filtered water vending units with commercial-grade hardware, remote monitoring capabilities, and established customer bases. The business operates 24/7 with no employees and minimal ongoing oversight.
Business Performance & Growth:
2024 was the first full year of operation, and 2025 demonstrated consistent month-over-month year-over-year growth at both locations. Every month of 2025 exceeded the same month in 2024, resulting in a total year-over-year revenue increase of approximately 29%. Combined revenue for 2025 was approximately $10,100, with a repeat customer rate of ~26% among card and mobile payments. The Helena location currently produces the majority of sales due to strong residential density and higher per-bag pricing.
Locations & Infrastructure:
Both machines are professionally installed on concrete pads under permanent overhangs, providing protection from weather and reducing maintenance requirements. Each site includes 220v electrical service, water supply, and proper drainage already in place. These installations represent significant time and cost savings compared to establishing new locations. Traffic counts (ALDOT 2024) show ~11,000 vehicles per day at the Helena site and ~26,000 vehicles per day (one direction) at the Childersburg site.
Equipment & Technology:
The Everest VX3 is a premium ice and water vending system with a commercial Scotsman ice maker, integrated filtration, and a durable cabinet design. The units include Nayax mobile/card payment systems with real-time sales tracking. Everest University provides owners with training videos, how-to resources, and troubleshooting guidance, and Everest’s support team is available for technical assistance as needed. Two BioGreen heaters are included for reliable winter operation.
Competition & Differentiation:
While there are competing ice-only vending machines in the region, these units offer both bagged ice and filtered water, which adds convenience and recurring demand. The business serves nearby residents, contractors, small businesses, and event customers. Demand is driven by accessibility, pricing, and convenience, and both locations have shown steady organic use with minimal marketing.
Growth & Expansion Opportunities:
Opportunities include modest pricing adjustments (particularly at the Childersburg site), light local marketing or signage, and continued organic growth as the locations mature further. A buyer could also expand by adding additional machines in nearby high-traffic areas. The current owner has operated the business passively with minimal on-site visits.
Reason for Sale:
The owner is selling to simplify responsibilities, as both locations are approximately 35–40 minutes from his residence. The business is fully operational, cash-flowing, and ready for a clean transition.
A buyer packet with photos, traffic data, and a detailed 2024–2025 revenue summary is available upon request.
