Any advice on getting in the business? Did you research all the companies and found Twice the Ice was the best? I've found 6 so far, with most saying $100K to get them up and running (all initial info, haven't talked to any of them directly yet). Unfortunately, Twice the Ice territory has already been purchased in my area.

Who are the target market customers? People who don't own refrigerators?

I don't get where the demand comes from outside of Fourth of July bar-b-que cookouts and tailgaiters during football season.

I would start out with one machine. I think the TTI machines are the best from what research I have done. If you get in a high traffic/low income area you will do well. My best machine will do 35k this year. I know a guy in memphis who has a 60k a year machine.

Don't fool yourself into thinking that all you have to do is go collect money everyday. I have three machines right now and they cost me about 10 hours a week.

If you know more about the iceberg machines I would love to hear it. I had never heard of that company till you posted that.

When you get done with your research could you put the info in this thread. I looked at this briefly a few years ago. What held me back was not knowing what kind of return it would generate.
