Always Time for Ice Cream : Year-Round Soft Serve Made Simple with the Spaceman VT28C.

It may not seem the time of year for ice cream, but the truth is there’s always time for ice cream. From cinemas and leisure centres to shopping malls and retail outlets, soft serve continues to sell whatever the season. And with our introductory offer of £8233.00, now is the perfect moment to look at the brand-new Spaceman VT28C push-button self-serve ice cream machine.

The New Spaceman VT28C

The VT28C has been upgraded from the original coin-operated design and now works at the touch of a button. Customers simply purchase a cone or cup at the till and press to dispense. This makes it more user-friendly, more hygienic, and easier for operators to manage portion sizes. It’s a strong fit for leisure venues, retail environments, cinemas, and anywhere with steady footfall looking to add a high-margin treat to their menu.

Some Ice Cream Facts

• The UK ice cream market is worth over £1.3 billion a year.
• UK consumers eat on average 6–9 litres of ice cream per person per year* — that’s roughly the equivalent of a tub every couple of weeks.
• Soft serve is a high-margin product: cost per cone is often just 20–30p, with typical retail prices of £2–£3.
• Sales are not just summer-based — ice cream remains popular all year in leisure and hospitality venues.

How Quickly Could It Pay for Itself?

At £8233.00, the VT28C may feel like a large outlay, but the numbers make sense very quickly. On average, operators see a profit of £1.50–£2.00 per cone. That means:

Cones Sold per Day	Daily Profit (at £2 per cone)	Payback Period
20	£40	~206 days (approx. 7 months)
30	£60	~138 days (approx. 4.5 months)
40	£80	~103 days (just over 3 months)

Even at the lower end of 20 cones per day, the machine could pay for itself in under a year. For busier sites, it’s a matter of just a few months before the VT28C is generating pure profit.

Flexible Payment Options

We understand that £8233.00 can feel like a large investment all in one go. That’s why some of our customers choose to spread the cost using trusted finance providers such as iwoca Pay. With payments staggered, your VT28C can start generating profit from day one while easing the strain on cashflow. Finance is subject to eligibility and approval.
