Host a booth in Ontario / Malls
For Ontario shopping centres
Give Shoppers a Reason to Stop
Malls are working harder than ever to be a place to spend time, not just a place to buy things. A photo booth gives malls a small attraction that pays its way. We place it free in Ontario shopping centres, keep it running, and share the revenue from every session.

What changes
How a booth earns its spot in a mall
Shopping centres have learned that experiences keep people on site longer. A photo booth is one of the simplest experiences there is, and it needs no staff.
- Teen and student traffic. Friends after school and on weekends are the most loyal booth users there are.
- Holiday season. From Black Friday to Boxing Day, families want a photo together, and a strip is cheaper than a mall portrait.
- A reason to linger. A booth near the food court gives people a reason to linger after they eat.
Leasing cost
We do not charge for the booth, install or service. It is a revenue share, not a lease.
Revenue share
10% to 25% of every session, paid monthly with reporting.
Trial
90 days to prove it inside a 12-month agreement. If it underperforms, we remove it.
How it fits
Where a booth works best in a shopping centre
We look for spots with heavy foot traffic and a natural pause: near the food court, by an entertainment anchor, or along the main corridor between department stores. The booth needs a standard outlet and about the floor space of a small kiosk.
Best spot
Food court edges and centre court, where people already stop.
Busiest moment
Saturday afternoons, school holidays and the weeks before Christmas.
On brand
We can wrap it in your centre’s seasonal campaign or a partner brand.

Proof, not promises
Our first campus booth: what happened at NSU
Our first booth went into the lobby of the Don Taft University Center at Nova Southeastern University in Florida, wrapped in Sharks blue. Students found it on their own, and nobody on staff has to touch it. Ontario booths run on the same program with the same service. Move-in week drove a lot of month one, so read these numbers as a strong start, not a forecast.
