Everyone is familiar with the present system of purchasing ice at grocery or convenience stores. Youve 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 consumers 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.
