Nov 12, 2014 07:14 AM EST | By Staff Reporter

Ice House America, the company that introduced the automated ice and water vending technology in the country, is yet again launching another innovation, The Ice Kiosk, it's new mid-sized vending machine.

The Ice Kiosk is designed for people constantly on-the-go and for restaurant owners looking for convenience of not having to line up in a supermarket just to buy ice.

The Ice Kiosk just occupies up a small space of 100 square feet. The machine offers two ice bin sizes of 2,500 and 3,000 pounds.

It supplies water that flows through Ice House America's patented filtration and sterilization process ensuring that customers enjoy clean, fresh ice and water with every purchase.

Interested franchisees can own The Ice Kiosk, which available in two sizes, 12 feet and 16 feet length for roughly $74,000.

Aside from that, Ice House America also serves other options, bulk vending machine models which are automated and works round the clock serving filtered, clean water made on-demand. The machines range from $19,000 to $100,000 each.

"In a little over 10 years, Ice House America has accomplished its initial goal and has become the sustainable alternative to traditional ice manufacturing and retail. The company set out to define the ice and water vending industry by delivering ice and water on demand that is fresh, clean (never touched by human hands) and green (made on site) - at a price that keeps consumers returning for more," says Michael Little, Ice House America's vice president of marketing.

"While continuing to chip away at the $4 billion retail bagged ice industry, Ice House America continuously strives to improve bulk ice and water-filtering technology to reduce the carbon footprint."

Usual ice production and delivery generates large carbon emmissions and is wasteful.

Ice House America is committing to serving fresh water in a sustainable way without compromising the quality and convenience of getting ice from a vending machine.
