Mini Melts USA has partnered with The Magnum Ice Cream Company to expand the availability of frozen treats through a nationwide roll-out of branded vending machines in the US.


Set to launch in summer 2026, the partnership will see Mini Melts operate Magnum-branded automated retail machines across high-traffic locations including entertainment venues, transit hubs and retail sites.


The machines will stock a selection of products from The Magnum Ice Cream Company’s portfolio, including Good Humor novelty bars and Ben & Jerry's ice cream pints, alongside Mini Melts’ signature beaded ice cream products.


The collaboration combines Mini Melts USA’s frozen vending and distribution network with Magnum’s portfolio of ice cream brands, as the companies look to expand access to premium frozen desserts beyond traditional retail channels.


Dan Kilcoyne, founder of Mini Melts USA, said the partnership would create “a powerful platform to delight consumers in new and convenient ways”.


Bryce Carroll, senior commercial development manager at The Magnum Ice Cream Company, described the agreement as “an important step” in expanding the company’s reach beyond the traditional freezer aisle.


The companies said the initiative is designed to create new out-of-home consumption occasions while also introducing Mini Melts products to additional locations across the country.
