A trading card vending machine in your shopping centre
A machine of about 1 m² that draws collectors, families and young adults. BoosterStop installs, fills and maintains it; you provide the space.
Rounded averages from our Geneva network.
Why it works in a shopping centre
Visits that come back
Collectors return with every new set. Our live stock page gives them a reason to check, then to come to you rather than elsewhere.
The audience you want
Pokémon and One Piece speak to children, their parents and young adults who collect: the core of a shopping centre's visitors.
Little space, strong sales
In Geneva, a machine averages over CHF 10,000 in sales per month on about 1 m². It fits in an aisle or a common area, with a flexible commitment and no minimum term.
Release days people talk about
A new set is in the machine on release day. On those days, the machine brings life to the centre.
How the machine fits in
Aisle, entrance or common area
A visible spot indoors, close to the main flows. About 1 m² of floor space and a power socket are enough.
Nothing for your teams to manage
Installation, weekly restocking, maintenance and customer service are all on us. Payment happens at the machine.
Your choice of payment
A fixed rent or a share of revenue, depending on your policy. Flexible commitment, no minimum term.
Your centre, online
Each machine has its own page on our site, with the venue's address. In Geneva, it also shows the live stock.

Questions we get asked
- Where should the machine go?
- Wherever most visitors pass: the entrance, the main aisle, near the escalators or a toy or leisure store. We discuss it in the first exchange.
- Who takes the payments?
- The machine itself: cash with change, contactless card, smartphone, and TWINT in Switzerland. Nothing goes through your tills.
- How is the centre paid?
- Through a fixed rent or a share of the machine's revenue, as you prefer. We agree on it together, based on footfall.
- Will the machine compete with our tenants?
- We build the assortment with you. If a store in the centre already sells certain products, we can leave them out.
- Who is responsible for the machine?
- We are. It remains our property and is covered by our insurance: you carry no financial responsibility.
Propose your location
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.
