Ice Vending Machine Blogs
Selling ice has always been a person-to-person transaction. On a sunny and 85F Saturday afternoon, a customer walks into a retail store, checks out with the cashier, heads back outside, and grabs their ice out of the loaded ice merchandiser in front of the store.
Simple, straight-forward, and traditional. But times are changing.
Luckily, the self-checkout lane for ice exists. Today, the consumer can avoid all person-to-person interaction by using a Leer Ice Vending Machine!

Not all Walk-In Quick Ship programs are alike. Leer’s Quick Ship and Quick Ship Plus Program stands apart from the crowd by offering the perfect blend of speed, affordability, and flexibility all while meeting the highest standards of quality.
Quick Ship Walk-In Coolers and Freezers are more affordable and faster than other options. But why is this the case? This blog explores how at Leer, the answer always has to do with operational efficiencies and never has to do with compromising on quality.
One of the most common mistakes when searching for the right Walk-In is not considering the Quick Ship options. But how do you know if a Quick Ship Walk-In Cooler or Freezer is right for your business? This blog explores why Quick Ship Walk-In Coolers and Freezers are an economical and efficient choice for your refrigerated Walk-In needs and what industries are good candidates for purchasing them.
Hot summer days may increase traffic to your Walk-In Cooler for bottled water or beer, but with that extra traffic comes additional heat and humidity. In our other blog post, we calculated that a smaller Walk-In Cooler or Freezer can cost roughly $5.00 per day to operate, while a larger Walk-In can cost as much as $10.00 per day or more. These costs are likely to rise as humidity, heat, and traffic in and out of the Walk-In rise, but there are ways to limit the impact!
Operating a business can be a rollercoaster, with unpredictable highs and lows which almost all businesses have to navigate – sometimes more than others. Occasionally, business slows down unexpectedly, or there’s a need to shut down for a short time in order to keep the ledger in the black. But even when business is at an unwelcome standstill, there are hidden ways to save money, and prepare to sling-shot forward.
If your business isn’t in full swing, your walk-in coolers or freezers are probably not in use – maybe even empty at the moment – which is the perfect time to reduce expenses and do some maintenance.
