A trading card vending machine in your airport
Pokémon, One Piece, Magic: sealed boosters in self-service, on about 1 m². BoosterStop installs, fills and maintains the machine. The airport provides the space and receives a fee.
Rounded averages from our Geneva network.
Why it works in an airport
Passengers with time on their hands
Between security and boarding, passengers wait. A booster takes seconds to buy, slips into a cabin bag and keeps children busy on the flight.
A worldwide audience
Pokémon, One Piece and Magic are collected on every continent. Our machines also carry Japanese and Chinese editions, sought after by collectors and popular as souvenirs.
High sales on little space
In Geneva, a machine averages over CHF 10,000 in sales per month on about 1 m² of floor space. Measured per square metre, that figure matters in a commercial zone where every metre is let.
No staff, no till
Customers pay at the machine: contactless card, smartphone, or cash with change. Nothing goes through your teams.
How the machine fits in
Landside or airside
The machine goes where you decide. For our visits airside, we follow your access and security procedures.
Restocking off-peak
We restock every week, and more often when a new set comes out, in the time slots you set.
A standard concession format
A fixed fee or a share of revenue, under your concession rules. Flexible commitment, no minimum term.
A clean brand image
Sealed products only, bought from official distributors. In Geneva, each machine's stock is visible online, live.

Questions we get asked

- Can international travellers pay?
- Yes. The machine takes contactless cards and smartphone payments, as well as cash with change.
- How is the airport paid?
- Through a fixed fee or a share of the machine's revenue, depending on your concession model. We agree on it together.

- Can we start with a single machine?
- Yes. A first machine lets you measure real sales at your site before going further.

We reply within 48 hours. The first exchange is mainly about whether the footfall justifies a machine, and we say so frankly when it doesn't.
