There are two new vending machines in Manchester Arndale like no other the city has seen before. With bold pink and brown stripes catching the eye of passers-by as they rush through the bustling shopping centre, the Amura vending machines are already proving popular.
Forget cans of Coke, chocolate bars or bags of crisps. These vending machines sell six varieties of the same thing - cupcakes.
Sitting opposite Subway and around the corner from Aldi, the two huge touchscreens have been drawing shoppers' attention in since they were installed on Saturday (July 30). The machines have completely sold out on two occasions so far since being switched on, and as the Manchester Evening News went to check them out on Friday lunchtime two flavours were already out of stock.
