Molly Moon and a mission to make the world better

DIVI Success Stories from Fastcorp Vending, the world's leader in frozen vending

Making the world a better place with Minimoons™

Molly Moon's mission to make the world a better place with a DIVI Frozen vending machine
With 8 brick & mortar locations in Seattle, they recently launched their robotic retail initiative by placing three DIVI machines selling minimoons!

Founded in 2008, Molly Moon’s mission is to make the world better, one scoop at a time as a multigenerational gathering place with sustainability and happiness at the core of all they do.

Challenge

Molly Moon Neitzel didn’t want to open a new Molly Moon’s Handmade Ice Cream shop because she was having a baby. But she still wanted to find a way to grow her business.

Solution

Working with the team at Fastcorp, Molly discovered she could buy vending machines with freezers in them for less than $12,000. That was just what she needed to bypass the $500,000 capital investment it takes to open even a small ice cream shop and still grow revenue at her business

Outcome

With 8 brick and mortar locations in Seattle, WA, they recently launched their robotic retail initiative by placing three DIVI machines around the city selling minimoons!

Now every generation has even more locations to gather and enjoy Molly Moon’s exceptional deliciousness!

Using assets provided by Molly Moons, the Fastcorp team provided a mock-up of how the DIVI would look. The team determined that a traditional theatrical-style DIVI with striking graphics that would be recognizable by new customers and old.

Our minimoons have been popping up all over the city from Washington State Ferries to Children's Hospital, and now we're launching ice cream vending machines in some of our favorite community gathering places, including KEXP and University Village. Each vending machine gives back 1% of its sales to a nonprofit related to its new home. We are so excited about this delicious new product and all of the awesome partnerships to come!

Enjoy life . . . eat more ice cream from a DIVI™

DIVI Success Stories from Fastcorp Vending, the world's leader in frozen vending
Enjoy life . . . eat more ice cream from a DIVI Frozen. Read how Tom Costa balanced family life and increased profits with Fastcorp in Dickinson TN
Enjoy life . . . eat more ice cream from a DIVI Frozen. Read how Tom Costa balanced family life and increased profits with Fastcorp in Dickinson, TN

Enjoy life . . . eat more ice cream - from a DIVI™

For anyone who has ever craved premium ice cream at midnight but had no place to go and get some from, Katie’s Ice Cream had you in mind. Katie’s Ice Cream is a family business inspired by Tom Costa, his wife, and four children. To maintain family time for himself and his staff, Katie’s is closed on Sundays.

Challenge

“Family and recreational time are important for all of us, but I wanted to allow customers to come by on Sundays and after-hours and still be able to enjoy a few scoops of delicious ice cream. I began researching after-hours retail and came across Fastcorp Vending.”

Solution

“I worked directly with Fastcorp’s vice president, Colleen Morris, who assured me Fastcorp could design and manufacture a versatile, efficient machine that could vend ‘nicely frozen ice cream’. The machine’s configuration focused on 2 container sizes: a single-serving cup with a wooden spoon and lid, and a take-home pint container.”

Outcome

The DIVI offered Katie’s customers a 24-hour robotic storefront that accepts cash and cashless payments, and enables Tom and his family to enjoy their Sundays. “The DIVI sits next to our front entrance. Customer engagement has been a great added bonus in both our physical location and social media.”

Using assets provided by Tom, the Fastcorp team provided a mock-up of how the DIVI would look. Tom and Katie’s team were originally considering a theatrical-style traditional unit but ultimately decided on a programmable 24″ touchscreen menu and media player.

Customer excitement about having a vending ice cream machine has generated more traffic than we imagined.

It has exceeded my expectations, a few hundred dollars each Sunday and, even vending ice cream during our open business hours.”
