Looking for Coin-Operated Service or Vending Machine Ideas...?

Question

Anyone have any ideas about kinds of coin operated services or machines I could add to my existing business?

I already have or have ruled out:

Laundry
Showers
Steam Room (would like something in complimentary to this)
Car Wash
Pressure Washer
Vacuum
Arcade
Snacks
Drinks
Cell Phone Charging
Tanning
Music/DVD's
Steam Iron
Toiletries

This business is located in a tourist town with emphasis on outdoor recreation (skiing nordic/alpine, mountain biking, camping, hiking, snowmobiling, fishing, hunting, etc.)

Answer 1

At one of the bars here, there is a punching bag machine that measures the force of your punch. You pay 25 cents, punch the bag, and it tells you how hard you hit.

Although boxing isn't an outdoor sport, it doesn't hurt to know how to, say, punch a bear in the nose!

Answer 2

Look for Difresh Vending Machines and Alcomatic Breath Alcohol Testers. This factory based in Spain gives Life Guarantee in every Machine and they are in more than 100 countries since 2000. The best is that they sell machines at their manufacturing cost and they have only few cent margin on their exclusive products. They show you how few money can be transformed in a high mountain of money. They have clients worldwide and very good references. You can find Difresh factory and Alcomatic Factory using internet. I have more than 1000 machines installed since 2002.

Toiletries is the best I think ruling that out would be a shame. I think things like condoms, tampons, pads, wipes, are needed in thoses types of areas.
