Every machine is a seed for our cities to grow from.
We install free trading-card vending machines in local businesses — no cost, no upkeep. Earn 5% of revenue, or become a Community Host and put $1 from every pack sold toward a free hangout space for local youth and young adults.

raised so far — the meter starts the day machine #1 goes live. We publish the running total as it grows.
How it works
Four steps, and you're only really involved in one of them.
PLOT 01
We plant it.
We order, deliver, install, and stock a smart vending machine in your space — usually within 2 to 6 weeks of signing.
PLOT 02
It grows on its own.
Customers tap to buy authentic, sealed, licensed trading-card packs. We watch stock levels remotely and restock before it runs dry.
PLOT 03
You get the foot traffic.
The machine draws people to your corner and gives them a reason to stick around — at zero cost to you.
PLOT 04
The city grows too.
With the Community Host option, $1 from every pack sold funds a free space where local youth and young adults have somewhere to go that isn't home, school, or nowhere — and you get to say your business helped plant it.
The hardware
A machine that looks like it belongs in your space, not a hallway.
Full-color touchscreen, tap-to-pay, and a protected drop system so every pack arrives in perfect shape. We stock it, monitor it, and service it — you just give it a corner.
Tap to pay, no cash handling
Monitored remotely, restocked before empty
Clear, fair, kid-friendly pricing

Why host one
What's actually in it for your business.
Zero cost to start
We buy it, deliver it, and install it. You provide the corner.
We handle everything
Restocking, repairs, and customer questions — all on us, always.
Good for your reputation
Kids and families get something fun to do while they wait or shop, and you're listed as a partner local business on our website and promo materials.
No long-term contract
Not a fit? Give 30 days' notice and we'll remove it ourselves. No hard feelings.
Two ways to partner
Pick whichever feels right for your business.
OPTION 01
Earn 5% of revenue
You receive 5% of the machine's revenue each month. Nothing to buy, manage, or maintain.
OPTION 02
Community Host
$1 from every pack sold goes toward a free local hangout space for kids and young adults, and your location helps build it.
Either way: $0 cost to you. We install, stock, and maintain the machine, and there's no long-term contract.
Community hosts
Local businesses already growing something.
Businesses that chose the Community Host option: $1 from every pack sold goes toward a free hangout space for local youth and young adults.

I'm Zack, a local recent college grad launching City Seeds, and I'm looking for my first locations. I'm happy to stop by and show you how a machine would fit your space using augmented reality. It takes a couple of minutes, with no commitment.
Questions
Everything a business owner usually asks.
No. We cover the machine, delivery, install, and all upkeep. You provide the space, and you choose how you'd like to partner: earn 5% of revenue, or become a Community Host.
We do, on a regular schedule — and we monitor stock levels remotely, so it rarely runs empty.
There's no long-term contract. Give us 30 days' notice and we'll remove the machine ourselves — no hassle, no hard feelings.
Authentic, sealed, licensed trading card packs only — Pokémon and similar games. Nothing opened, nothing resold, and no inventory for you to manage.
Yes — it's the same category as a toy aisle. Transparent pricing, no gambling-style marketing, and we're happy to answer anything else.
If you choose Community Host, $1 from every pack sold at your machine goes toward a free hangout space for local youth and young adults. No formulas, no monthly math — it's tracked pack by pack.
You receive 5% of the machine's revenue each month. We handle everything else.
We also offer a curated guest-experience machine for bars, breweries, and late-night spots — phone chargers, hydration, recovery essentials, disposable cameras, and more. Same terms: $0 cost to you, we handle everything, and no long-term contract. See what's in it.
Just like Community Host for trading cards, but for these machines: $1 from every item sold goes toward free rides home for the local community. Tracked item by item, no formulas or monthly math.
Yes — general liability and equipment coverage. We'll provide proof of insurance before installation.
Usually within 2 to 6 weeks of signing — we have to order the machine, then confirm the exact spot together and get it installed.
Also available
Not every business is a trading-card fit — and that's okay.
For bars, breweries, and late-night spots, we install a curated selection of guest-experience essentials instead — the kind of things people reach for on a night out but usually can't find on hand. Once it's up and running, we tailor the mix based on what you and your guests want more of, so you're never locked into a fixed lineup.
Phone chargers & cables
Hydration & electrolyte packets
Mints, gum & recovery essentials
Disposable cameras & novelty items

OPTION 02
Community option
$1 from every item sold goes toward free rides home for the local community, and your location helps make that happen.
Same terms as our trading-card machines: $0 cost to you, no long-term contract, and we handle install, stocking, and upkeep. Mention it in your request if this is the better fit for your space.
