An empty Carvana vending machine in Denver, a billboard for corporate troubles



The problem with political advice, “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything,” is that sometimes there’s nothing to say but both are fine. and useful. Get Carvana, online sell used car the company has had nothing positive to say about it for at least six months. The woes so far have involved registration issues in various states that have resulted in some of Carvana’s business licenses being revoked, the stock price impressive in terms of Titanic behind the iceberg, and the price of used cars retreated to less than what Carvana paid for the cars. Now, the city of Denver, Colorado is facing a novel concern – an empty Carvana vending machine.

Looks like the company submit the plan to the Denver government in 2020 to build a 75-foot-tall vending machine at a conspicuous corner near the I-25 highway that runs through town. Remember three years ago, when everything went out of control and the explosion of daily contactless life had just begun? carvana bought this $5.8 million corner piece of land downtown, then lobby the city council in 2021 to pass a rezoning measure allowing this eight-story vending machine. Remember two years ago, when everyone was scrambling for everything, distracting everyone from the real horrors out there? According to one reported on 9News, part of council discussions focused on whether vending machines could be classified as billboards. The council overcame its concerns and approved the rezoning. Carvana built the vending machine, completed last fall. And Carvana didn’t put a car in there. So there’s an empty glass castle – that’s right, a billboard – testifying to Carvana’s troubles for months instead of car deliveries.

Because another political admonition, “Don’t kick someone when they fall,” also didn’t get much respect, local Denver newspapers began reporting on the empty building in December. Carvana told Denver7 last year, “We’re excited about the opening of this Denver Vending Machine location and are working with Denver to finalize a remaining permit and get City approval before we officially open in. New Year.” Now that we’re entering the new year and the vending machines have nothing to sell, 9News of Denver produced a humorous segment about the building that was still empty. Carvana told 9News: “While we haven’t shared our press launch date with the outside yet, we do have a planned launch (coming soon). our vending machine, we share our press release with all the details as we get closer to our press launch date.”

In January, The Wall Street Journal report Carvana has laid off and laid off more workers, while leaving other positions vacant, and has smaller sales and inventory that isn’t selling as quickly as it used to. Barron’s report Carvana admitted to breaking a law in Michigan that resulted in the loss of its license to operate its only vending machine site in the state, and Search Alpha report The battle between meme stock punters and the broader market became so volatile that the exchange halted for a short time. transactions in stock. We are only two weeks away from the new year. So a press launch date in Denver could be high on the company’s list of priorities. Maybe things will be better with Professional Pickleball Associationconsider Carvana as the main sponsor since October last year.
