You'd have to sell a lot of bags of ice to cover your initial $100k. I considered it but seemed like too big of a risk to me. I can't imagine how long it'd take to sell that much ice, plus enough to cover maintenance, electricity, water, and to lease the land.


But, the one near our house always has a couple of people near it. Great for towns with lots of fisher/hunters. We also go get a few bags every time we tailgate or have a party at the house.

I have a relative who owns about 50 of them in Texas and I know he has done quite well with them. In the summer, hurricanes and etc he does very well but its very hectic with maintenance. The machines shut themselves down a good bit so make sure you learn how to work on them or have a reliable person that can do it as well. He had some dickheads doing it for him and it lost him lots of money when people were lined up for ice and the guy couldn't fix it.
