How Hazel's Treasures™ Supports Local Colorado Businesses

Local Colorado businesses are the reason Hazel's Treasures™ exists. Not as background characters in our story, but as actual partners — the kind willing to say yes to a six-year-old with a heart-stamped pitch sheet and turn her idea into a real thing.

We're brand new — Hazel's first machine just went in this week — and if you run a family-friendly business in Colorado, here's an honest look at what hosting a Hazel's Treasures™ machine is designed to do for you, your customers, and your community.

Zero hassle, zero cost

There's no fee to host a machine. We deliver, install, refill, maintain, and collect. All you provide is a small footprint of floor space — usually about the size of a paper grocery bag.

We restock on a regular cadence so you never have to think about it. If anything ever needs attention, you text us and we show up.

A reason for families to linger

Family-friendly businesses know that the deciding vote on "where do we go after this?" is often cast by the smallest person at the table. A 50-cent surprise bouncy ball machine near the front gives that smallest person a reason to remember your spot — and a reason to ask to come back.

It's a tiny moment of magic that costs the parent half a dollar and earns you a memory that travels home with the family.

A story your customers will tell their friends

"There's this little vending machine at our favorite spot. It's run by a six-year-old. Ten percent of every quarter goes to Children's Hospital Colorado."

That's the kind of sentence we hope travels — and the kind of small, true story we're hoping to build alongside the businesses that host us.

Aligned values, visible community impact

Ten percent of every purchase is independently donated to Children's Hospital Colorado. When customers ask about the machine — and they do — your team gets to share that. It signals, without you having to say a word, that your business cares about the same things your community cares about.

In a state full of family-run, community-minded businesses, that alignment matters.

Supporting a Colorado kid entrepreneur

And then there's this: your "yes" helps a Colorado kindergartener learn what it feels like to be taken seriously by an adult — at the very beginning of her journey, when those early yeses matter most.

The first business that said yes told us it was their favorite five minutes of the week. We're hoping more stories like that are still ahead.

What a great host location looks like

• Family-friendly foot traffic — ice cream shops, cafés, bakeries, bookstores, kid-focused fitness studios, family entertainment.
• A small, visible spot near the entrance, register, or waiting area.
• An owner or manager who likes saying yes to small, good ideas.
