👋 Welcome to This Week’s Scoop

This issue is all about high-value installations in premium locations — and the power of model flexibility.

From luxury NYC activations and ultra-affluent neighborhoods to 24/7 gas stations and major U.S. military bases, these installs show just how adaptable the 99 Spoons platform can be.

Every one of these locations represents:

• Strong independent brand visibility
• Access to higher-spend, high-traffic audiences
• Operator creativity, initiative, and standout branding
• Growing trust in the flexibility of the 99 Spoons platform

Together, they reinforce what we’re building: a scalable, brand-agnostic model that works across vastly different environments — without sacrificing quality, presentation, or performance.

🍨 Custom-Branded Install

Victoria Paul Co. (DUMBO, NYC)

Ashley T.— A Masterclass in High-End Branding

This install is one of the most elevated and stunning uses of a 99 Spoons kiosk to date.

Ashley transformed her machine into a boutique-style dessert concept inside Victoria Paul Co., a luxury NYC brand known for its vegan, fully automated ice cream experiences for private events.

Why This Install Stands Out:

🎨 Custom Wrap + Elegant Buildout
Ashley and the team created a dedicated kiosk space with a sleek, premium design matching the Victoria Paul aesthetic.

🍨 Operator-Controlled Premium Recipes
Because 99 Spoons is not a franchise, she can serve her own curated vegan or organic soft-serve blends.

🏙️ NYC-Ready Presentation
In one of the most brand-conscious cities in the world, this proves the adaptability and upscale potential of the model.

👏 Huge shoutout to Ashley — a perfect example of turning a kiosk into a luxury customer experience.

🪖 Two New Military Base Installations — South Carolina

Noah H. — Charleston AFB & Shaw AFB

Noah has successfully secured two major U.S. Air Force bases, marking the first-ever 99 Spoons installations in South Carolina and a major milestone for our growing military footprint.

📍 About These Installations

• Combined population of 35,000+ active-duty personnel, staff, and family members
• Consistent, year-round foot traffic
• Ideal demographic for frozen desserts, with limited on-base alternatives
• Stable, long-term environments well-suited for unattended vending
• No existing self-serve soft serve concepts on base

Noah secured both locations independently and will be operating with a portable three-compartment sink system to meet compliance requirements.

This installation is part of a fast-expanding national rollout across U.S. military bases, including:

• South Carolina
• Augusta, GA
• Little Rock, AR
• Lakehurst, NJ (pending)
• JLBE Virginia Hempton (pending)

🇺🇸 Supporting Those Who Serve

At 99 Spoons, we’re proud to support the men and women who protect our country.

All active-duty military members, veterans, and military spouses receive special discounts when launching a 99 Spoons business — our way of giving back.

We are a U.S.-based company, powered by:

• American employees
• U.S. based service providers
• A nationwide network of American entrepreneurs building income through automated frozen dessert vending

To all who serve — thank you. We’re honored to bring 99 Spoons to your bases, your communities, and your future businesses.

🏙️ Frozzi! at Islander Market

(Brickell, Miami FL)

Premium Frozen Yogurt in an Ultra-Affluent Neighborhood

Allen and Andrea secured this location themselves through local community networking — and it has quickly become one of the most polished, boutique-style 99 Spoons installations to date.

📍 About the Location: Islander Marketplace — Brickell Key

Islander Market is located on Brickell Key, an exclusive island community surrounded by luxury residential towers, waterfront promenades, and a highly health-conscious, high-income population.

Residents here value:

• Clean ingredients
• Wellness-focused food options
• Convenience without compromise

This makes Brickell Key an ideal environment for a premium frozen yogurt concept.

🎨 Fully Custom-Branded “Frozzi” Installation — Now Live

The kiosk is now fully wrapped and operating under the Frozzi brand.

The custom wrap is clean, bright, and modern — intentionally designed to match Brickell’s upscale aesthetic and elevate the kiosk beyond traditional vending. It feels like a purpose-built dessert concept, not a machine.

💡 Why Frozzi Works So Well in Miami

Health-First Lifestyle Alignment
Miami — and Brickell in particular — is one of the most wellness-focused markets in the country. Fitness, outdoor living, clean eating, and functional foods are part of daily life. Frozzi fits naturally into this culture.

Premium Product Offering
Allen and Andrea selected Dannon low-fat frozen yogurt to meet the expectations of their audience:

• Low fat
• Low calorie
• High calcium
• Live and active cultures
• Probiotic-rich

It’s a treat customers feel good about enjoying — and coming back for.

Versatility of the 99 Spoons Platform
This installation perfectly demonstrates yet again the flexibility of the 99 Spoons model. Operators can curate their own product, brand, and customer experience without being locked into a franchise system or single menu.

Owner-Operated Convenience
Living nearby allows Allen and Andrea to manage operations effortlessly, ensuring consistent quality, cleanliness, and presentation.

Boutique Presentation
The custom branding transforms the kiosk into a premium dessert destination — reinforcing trust, quality, and repeat engagement.

This is a standout example of how 99 Spoons operators can craft a concept that reflects both their market and their vision — and why flexibility is such a powerful advantage.

⛽ Bryan W. — Sky Scoops at Marathon Gas Station (North Lauderdale, FL)

Our First 24/7 Gas Station Install — And Another Self-Branded Win

Bryan has officially secured and launched Sky Scoops, a fully self-branded 99 Spoons kiosk, at a high-performing 24/7 Marathon gas station in North Lauderdale, Florida—marking a major milestone for the platform.

This location was referred through a third-party location procurement teamfocused on delivering strong, operator-ready opportunities, and it immediately stands out as a powerful use case for unattended frozen desserts.

📍 About the Location
Marathon Gas Station — North Lauderdale, FL

• 1,000+ customers per day
• Open 24/7 — nonstop traffic, day and night
• Located directly beside a busy school and major bus stop
• Consistent foot traffic from families, students, and daily commuters

This is exactly the type of environment where impulse dessert purchases thrive.

🎨 Sky Scoops — A Self-Branded Concept

Rather than relying on a standard system or trademark, Bryan launched this kiosk under his own brand: Sky Scoops. The branding is clean, fun, and approachable—perfectly suited for a gas station environment where visibility and instant recognition matter.

💡 Why This Location Is a Game-Changer

Near-Passive Operation
As part of the agreement, on-site staff assist with basic kiosk upkeep. This significantly reduces day-to-day involvement for the operator and makes Sky Scoops an almost hands-off installation.

24/7 Revenue Potential
Unlike limited-hour venues, this location captures:

• Morning commuters
• After-school traffic
• Evening and late-night customers

That means constant exposure and consistent sales opportunities around the clock.

🚀 A New Category Opens

This installation officially introduces gas stations as a scalable category for 99 Spoons.

With tens of thousands of 24-hour gas stations nationwide, this opens the door to an entirely new class of high-volume, high-visibility locations—especially for operators interested in self-branded, near-passive models.

Another strong example of how the right equipment, the right product, and the freedom to brand your own concept can unlock powerful opportunities.

🚗 Wasif — Old Greenwich, CT (Car Wash + Service Station)

Delivering Premium Frozen Treats to One of America’s Most Affluent Zip Codes

Wasif has secured an exceptional placement inside a car wash and service station in Old Greenwich, Connecticut—located in Fairfield County, which is consistently ranked among the top five wealthiest counties in the United States.

📍 Why This Location Stands Out

• High daily vehicle and customer volume
• An affluent, quality-driven customer base
• A strong focus on customer experience and convenience
• A natural fit for a premium frozen dessert offering

For the host location, the kiosk enhances the overall customer experience, creates a competitive point of differentiation, and introduces a new incremental profit center. For Wasif, it means access to a steady, high-spending audience with strong sales potential.

🤝 How This Opportunity Came Together

This location was sourced through another one of our third-party location procurement partners—another example of how quality opportunities are being surfaced for 99 Spoons operators.

In this case, the on-site staff has also agreed to assist with day-to-day kiosk servicing, making this installation nearly hands-off for the operator. These types of partnerships allow owners to scale efficiently while maintaining high operational standards.

This is vending at its smartest—placing premium products in premium markets, where quality, convenience, and experience matter most.

📌 Closing Notes

We’re installing machines at a steady, consistent pace across the country—many for operators who took the time to prepare, plan, and wait for the right moment to launch. It’s incredibly rewarding to see so many of you step forward and bring your concepts to life.

One thing we’re especially proud of is the flexibility of our 99 Spoons model. Operators are not locked into a franchise, a trademark, royalties and franchise fees, or a rigid system. Instead, you have the freedom to shape your kiosk around what best serves your market:

• Traditional soft serve
• Frozen yogurt with live cultures and probiotics
• Vegan or dairy-free options
• High-protein or functional frozen desserts
• Fully custom recipes and branded concepts

Regardless of your goals or location, 99 Spoons is here to help you plan and execute your vending business. Whether that means dialing in classic frozen treats, calibrating machines for your own healthy or vegan formulations, designing a custom-branded kiosk that elevates the customer experience, or even identifying a more hands-off opportunity via third party procurement teams —we’re here to support you.

Your kiosk — Your brand — Your product.

This flexibility is exactly why our operators are finding success in premium venues nationwide. You’re able to tailor your offering to the audience, and it shows.

Thank you for being part of a community that continues to grow, adapt, brand creatively, and prove week after week that demand for this category is real and expanding. We’re excited to close out the year on a strong note and even more excited for what 2026 will bring.
