J & D Services, owned by local residents Joel and Diane Dugas, has started a Bag of Ice Automated Ice and Purified Water vending machine business that will operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week in Napoleonville.
Customers can pull up in their vehicle to the Bag of Ice vending machine and can quickly get 20 pounds of ice for $1.50. Customers have the choice of either dispensing directly into their ice chests or into a provided bag. Customers can also purchase purified water for 25 cents per gallon.
Each customer’s ice is freshly dispensed at purchase. This means it does not sit in a freezer, and there is no clumping or stale taste.
Cash, and credit and debit cards are accepted by the Bag of Ice machine.
J & D Services’ Bag of Ice vending machine is at 4748 La. 1.
