South Carolina’s two placements are identical on every recorded field but the city and the date: premium trampoline parks, 150,000 visitors a year, 410 a day, 40% of net, thirty miles and three weeks apart. That is either a coincidence or an estimate travelling between listings, and the dataset cannot say which.
Figures below come from the 87 signed listings open on PinPoint Vending’s marketplace on October 5, 2026. Traffic is venue-reported and unaudited; no listing reports sales.
By the numbers
| Measure | South Carolina |
|---|---|
| Signed placements | 2 |
| Distinct reported traffic figures | 1 |
| Distinct shares | 1 |
| Visitor-hours a day | about 615 at each |
| Rank of each | joint 6th of 44 convertible listings |
| Effective sample size | 1 |
What is on the record for South Carolina
Two venues in the upstate.
| Field | Laurens | Anderson |
|---|---|---|
| Venue type | Trampoline park | Trampoline park |
| Tier | Premium | Premium |
| Signed | July 20, 2026 | August 11, 2026 |
| Reported visitors | 150,000 a year, 410 a day | 150,000 a year, 410 a day |
| Visit length used | 1.5 h | 1.5 h |
| Visitor-hours a day | about 615 | about 615 |
| Revenue share | 40% of net | 40% of net |
| Minimum term | 16 months | 16 months |
Premium tier requires a venue reporting 100,000 or more annual visitors, and both report half again that. Both convert to roughly 615 visitor-hours a day, which places them joint sixth of the 44 convertible listings — level with a Hiram, Georgia trampoline park and an Ocean City, Maryland indoor playground, both of which also land on 615.
What identical figures can and cannot mean
Three possibilities, and the record distinguishes none of them.
| Possibility | What would support it |
|---|---|
| Genuine coincidence | Two similar venues in one corridor could plausibly report similar traffic |
| A rounded figure both venues use | 150,000 is a round number, and round numbers recur across this dataset |
| An estimate carried from one listing to the other | Nothing in the listings would show this |
What can be said is narrower and more useful. Traffic in these listings is the venue’s own claim, not a measurement, and that is stated plainly about every listing in the record — so a figure repeated across two listings is a claim repeated, not a claim corroborated.
Round numbers are common here. The 69 placements reporting a count use only 36 distinct annual figures between them: 100,000 appears eight times, 50,000 seven, 75,000 five, and 30,000 and 150,000 four each. That is what reported numbers look like rather than metered ones.
Why the sample size matters more than the figures
Because a two-listing state with one distinct figure is a one-listing state wearing a label.
| Reading | Supported? |
|---|---|
| “Two South Carolina venues signed at 40% of net in 2026” | Yes |
| “Two independent South Carolina data points agree on 410 visitors a day” | No |
| “South Carolina trampoline parks average 410 visitors a day” | No — one figure, counted twice |
| “A premium trampoline park in the upstate agreed 40% of net” | Yes |
That distinction is worth carrying into any state table. South Carolina looks better documented than Louisiana or Maryland, each of which has a single listing — and on distinct information it is not.
Where the pair does rank honestly
Near the top of the measurable part of the dataset. Trampoline parks carry a published 1.5-hour visit length, so both venues convert cleanly, and 410 visitors a day is a high figure for the category.
| Trampoline parks in the record | Visitors a day |
|---|---|
| Laurens and Anderson, South Carolina | 410 each |
| Hiram, Georgia | 410 |
| Oxford, Mississippi | 140 |
| Pikeville, Kentucky | 88 |
| Appleton, Wisconsin | 55 |
| Oceanside, California | Not stated |
| Category median of the six reporting | 275 |
So whatever the provenance of the number, the South Carolina venues sit well above the trampoline median and among the stronger placements the record can actually rank. The conversion method is set out in our ranking of vending locations, and beyond the South Carolina row what the revenue-share data shows across all 87 placements holds what a South Carolina row cannot.
What is missing from South Carolina’s record?
Three of the four categories that carry the dataset, and the whole coastal plain. South Carolina shows two trampoline parks and nothing from bowling alleys, indoor playgrounds or family entertainment centres; Charleston, Columbia, North Charleston and Myrtle Beach appear nowhere.
Both listings sit within thirty miles of each other in the upstate, which describes a single sales corridor rather than a state. Vending machine locations by state shows where every state stands.
Frequently asked questions
How many vending machine placements does South Carolina have?
Two in the record collected on October 5, 2026: premium trampoline parks in Laurens, signed July 20, and Anderson, signed August 11. Both report 150,000 visitors a year.
What is unusual about them?
They are identical on every recorded field except the city and the date — same venue type, same tier, same annual and daily traffic, same 40% share.
Does that mean the figures are wrong?
It cannot be established either way. Traffic in these listings is venue-reported and unaudited, so two matching numbers are either a coincidence or an estimate applied twice.
How do they rank?
Both convert to about 615 visitor-hours a day, joint sixth of the 44 convertible listings — level with a Georgia trampoline park and a Maryland indoor playground.
What should a reader do with identical listings?
Count them as one data point. A state average built from two copies of the same figure has a sample size of one, however it is presented.
