People Love Seed Packets at The Pink Petunia in Crofton, Kentucky

I feel confident saying this now: People are really enjoying the concept of purchasing seed packets from an electronic bulk vending machine so far.

For context, Wilcox Arcade placed said vending machine at The Pink Petunia in Crofton, Kentucky, in March — a move that ensured my company would once again have a presence in Christian County following a half-decade hiatus.

My wife Jordan Wilcox was the brainiac who suggested we should vend seed packets at a greenhouse. And you know what? She was absolutely correct about that.

Now, nearly one month into the experience, I’m happy to report the experiment has paid off, and it’s inspired me to conjure up other unorthodox vending scenarios. (You may see some of that come to fruition later this year at Pear Tree Mall in Mayfield, Kentucky.).

I’ve already been considering what else I could eventually vend at The Pink Petunia itself — my main idea being one-inch watermelon gumballs, which seem similarly thematically appropriate — provided owner Allie Duplessis is fine with allotting me just a little more square-footage.

Advertising my presence in Christian County has been top of mind, to the point that I even ordered yard signs at Printing Services of Murray. It’s important to me that people are aware of the Wilcox Arcade route, despite it being somewhat small.

I’m extremely proud of the commercial I made for Wilcox Arcade at The Pink Petunia, as well, available now on YouTube. “Brand-New Bulk Vending Fun (Crofton, KY)” is one of those special videos for which I went all-out in Adobe After Effects, so I’m hoping I can afford to get it on WPSD before the end of the season.

And that’s the sad part: The Pink Petunia will not remain open year-round, meaning you won’t find Wilcox Arcade in Christian County past May. Of course, I can’t imagine we won’t do this all over again next year, but man, I sure do enjoy doing business in Crofton.

Until then, though, be sure to purchase your very own seed packets via the Wilcox Arcade bulk vending machine at The Pink Petunia in Crofton, Kentucky. In doing so, you’ll be treated to a fun surprise every time — which you totally deserve, by the way.
