A candy floss business based in Ruislip, known as Panda Fluff, has rapidly expanded to 30 key locations across the UK and Europe. These locations include popular spots like Haven Holidays, Moto Services, theme parks, and shopping centres.
The innovative Panda Fluff machines are equipped with high-tech features and come in vibrant colours. They have the capability to produce an impressive 130 different styles of candy floss, ranging from heart-shaped designs to intricate floral patterns. Customers can choose from six delicious flavours such as strawberry, melon, vanilla, and blueberry, along with two types of toppings.
To create a personalised candy floss experience, customers simply need to tap on the machine’s user-friendly touch screen, select their desired candy floss design, and watch as it is freshly made in just 90 seconds. This unique and interactive process sets Panda Fluff apart from traditional pre-packaged candy floss options.
The founder of Panda Fluff, Kelly Poon, was inspired to start the business after her daughter requested a special after-school treat. Rather than settling for store-bought candy floss, Kelly embarked on a journey to create authentic, high-quality candy floss on a stick using cutting-edge vending machines.
Kelly’s dedication to providing a unique and memorable experience for customers has been a driving force behind Panda Fluff’s success. She collaborated closely with a factory to design the machines according to her specifications, ensuring that they not only meet her high standards but also stand out in the competitive vending machine market.
Beyond business success, Kelly is also passionate about empowering young girls to dream big and pursue their entrepreneurial ambitions. Seeing her own daughter aspire to be a ‘candy floss boss’ like her mother serves as a proud moment for Kelly and reinforces her commitment to inspiring the next generation of female leaders.
Panda Fluff operates through a combination of franchise partnerships, direct machine sales, and company-owned machines that are maintained by the business. This diverse business model allows Panda Fluff to reach a wide range of customers while maintaining quality control and consistency across all locations.
As Panda Fluff continues to grow and innovate in the vending machine industry, Kelly remains focused on providing exceptional products and experiences that leave a lasting impression on customers. With a vision for expanding into new markets and inspiring future generations of entrepreneurs, Panda Fluff is poised to make a lasting impact in the world of sweet treats and business ownership.
