Pokémon Cards are in demand…and only getting more popular.

We install, stock, and maintain these small units in grocery stores, local shops, gas stations, arcades, bowling alleys, and sports venues.

Do you know the average age of a person buying Pokémon cards?

You might be surprised — it’s not kids. More than 70% of Pokémon cards are purchased by adults. Pokémon has been around for over 30 years, so many of today’s buyers grew up with it. That nostalgia, combined with steady incomes, makes trading card products especially attractive to young adults.

A demographic trend that supports this: the average age of first-time mothers in the U.S. is 27.5 years, according to a 2025 CDC study. Delayed family formation and changes in lifestyle mean more disposable income and leisure time for hobbies like collecting and playing TCGs.

If your business is considering installing a Trading Card (TCG) vending machine, this audience matters. A TCG machine can attract young adults to your location and encourage them to linger longer — increasing foot traffic and potential secondary sales.

We also install Mystery Packs! These packs bring an excitement to the experience and drive repeat customers. Who doesn’t want more repeat customers who keep coming back for a great in-store experience? Our touchscreen, cashless vending machines are especially popular with young adults and families, and we keep the selection fresh with new and rotating packs on every visit. With a wide range of Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Wizards of the Coast, and sports cards, there’s always something new and exciting to discover.

At Elevate Vending, we don’t just help you generate passive income — we partner with you. We handle maintenance and stocking so you can focus on your business, while we support growth and customer engagement. Tell us how we can help you elevate your space.

Which animated character has brought in the most revenue worldwide?

I will skip the suspense. It’s Pokemon’s Pikachu by far. Hands down Pikachu wins. Pikachu has brought in over 150 Billion (USD) in lifetime revenue. Let’s compare that to Hello Kitty at 89 billion and Mickey Mouse at 52 billion in lifetime revenue. A reminder that these are worldwide numbers. Within the US, Mickey Mouse pushes Pikachu to #2. But being second behind Mickey Mouse is nothing to scoff about! We will give the mouse his props!
