## ◆ A different kind of fun from traditional cotton candy stalls

CANDY SPIN's cotton candy is an authentic product supervised by a popular Harajuku shop famous for its rainbow cotton candy. It automatically makes colorful cotton candy from 24 designs in about 2 minutes. There are four flavors: strawberry, lemon, soda, and plain. The price is 500 yen, and in addition to coins, various QR code payments such as PayPay are accepted. The installation location is on the 2nd floor, next to the escalator in front of SOYU.

## ◆ A mechanism that makes you want to record a video

The process of making cotton candy captivates not only children but also adults. In other installed stores, many voices say, "It's cute to see children staring intently as the cotton candy is made automatically," and "I can't help but record a video." Posts by actual users can be seen on Instagram, creating a buzz. Among them, it is so popular at Aeon Mall Sapporo Hassamu that there are queues from morning till night.

This "experiential" and "cute" cotton candy vending machine is expected to attract attention as a new spot where people can enjoy a little fun while shopping.

## ◆ Maintenance is performed by the watch specialty store Time Station NEO

## ◆ Background of introducing experiential cotton candy vending machines as a new spot in commercial facilities

Nakazawa Co., Ltd., which operates watch specialty stores "Time Station NEO" nationwide, has recently been challenging itself to introduce new technologies and content to expand the value of physical stores from "places to buy products" to "places to enjoy experiences."

This introduction of "CANDY SPIN" is part of such efforts. It is a new challenge with the desire to be a presence that connects with local people with smiles, going beyond the realm of watches.

## ◆ To commercial facility stakeholders

"CANDY SPIN" is an unmanned entertainment device that operates with only a few maintenance checks per day. Maintenance and operational support are handled by staff trained by the watch specialty store "Time Station NEO," ensuring a safe and secure system for hygiene and equipment management.

In addition, this machine has obtained PSE certification based on the Electrical Appliance and Material Safety Act, clearing safety standards for installation within facilities.

Amid challenges such as labor shortages, there is growing attention to utilizing vacant spaces in commercial facilities as a solution that achieves both labor saving and enhanced customer experience.

We are always accepting collaborations and installation proposals from commercial facilities.
