The retail landscape is shifting fast — and propane vending is leading one of the quietest yet most powerful revolutions in automated commerce.
Here’s what you need to know.
Today’s propane vending machines no longer require your store's POS system. They don’t need your staff to unlock cages or manage inventory. In fact, your team doesn't need to be involved at all. With full automation and a mobile-app-enabled platform, these machines allow customers to buy or exchange propane in under 30 seconds — completely self-serve.
That opens the door to a completely passive revenue opportunity for property owners, gas station operators, and even strip mall landlords.
You get paid. We do the work.
We can set you up in one of two ways:
A monthly rental fee for the space, or
A percentage of gross
Propane Vending Corp proving passive income to landlords sales (commonly around 15%) with full reporting and monthly payouts.
Either way, you collect income. No cashier. No POS. No staff involved.
Propane Can Now Be Sold Almost Anywhere
Because these vending machines don’t require store involvement, they no longer need to be installed at gas stations or grocery stores. They can go anywhere there’s vehicle traffic.
We’re already seeing this in Florida, where a partner is working directly with landlords to pay a “space fee” for access to corner spots in parking lots — bypassing tenants completely. For landlords, it’s an easy way to unlock additional passive income from underused real estate.
Get in Early, Win Market Share with Propane Vending
We believe propane vending is a real estate play. The first to place a vending machine at a location will secure market share simply by offering superior convenience. And the performance metrics speak for themselves:
Locations with vending are seeing at least a 25% increase in sales
Some sites have experienced over 100% growth
And again — stores don’t lift a finger
A Capital-Backed Opportunity
The vending units are a significant capital investment. That’s why propane distributors who are willing to fund them are gaining access to premium real estate and long-term accounts.
We have partners ready to deploy these machines and provide the propane supply — all you need to do is offer the space.
