About Family Fun & Games

Building the Supply Chain
for Fun in America.

A privately owned, family-run business led by CEO Andy Denton — building, powering, and scaling the fun economy across the United States.

Our Story

A family business built
on the business of fun.

Family Fun & Games is a privately owned, family-run holding company headquartered in Charleston, South Carolina. We are the parent company behind a growing portfolio of digital properties, brands, and operator technologies that together form one of the most integrated platforms in the vending and amusement industry.

With over 30 years of industry experience and more than 200,000 customers served, we have deep roots in the businesses of bulk vending, amusement machines, candy and consumables, and operator software. We didn't stumble into this space — we built expertise in it over decades, and we're now using that foundation to build something much larger.

We operate across multiple offices and time zones, with teams in Salt Lake City, Elgin, Charleston, and remote partners and employees around the world. The business is lean, entrepreneurial, and built to scale.

"Make fun more accessible — and more profitable — everywhere it lives."

Led by an Entrepreneur

Family Fun & Games is founder-led, with hands-on vision and ownership driving every major decision across the portfolio.

AD
Andy Denton
Owner & Chief Executive Officer

Andy Denton is a seasoned online entrepreneur with a career built on identifying underserved markets, acquiring category-defining domain properties, and scaling them into full-stack digital businesses. He leads Family Fun & Games as owner and CEO, setting strategy across the full portfolio of properties, brands, and services.

Under Andy's leadership, Family Fun & Games acquired CandyMachines.com — a 30-year-old industry institution — and immediately set about modernizing it with new technology, cashless payment systems, and the SmartClaw route management platform. The company has since grown into a multi-brand holding company with ambitions to become the defining infrastructure company in the vending and amusement industry.

Andy's vision is direct: build the supply chain for fun in America — connecting equipment manufacturers, product suppliers, software platforms, and financial services into a seamless ecosystem that serves operators at every stage, from a first home machine to a nationwide commercial fleet.

Our Vision

The Supply Chain for Fun

We're not just selling machines or candy. We're building the infrastructure that powers the entire fun economy — from the first home machine to a nationwide commercial operation.

Building the Supply Chain for Fun in America

Family Fun & Games is assembling the pieces of a vertically integrated platform — equipment, product, software, financing, and insurance — that no single operator has had access to before in one place. Our goal is to be the infrastructure company that powers the business of fun at every level: the hobbyist buying their first claw machine, the startup operator building a 10-location route, and the professional FEC operator running a commercial fleet. We connect them all.

Serving Two Customer Groups

Our distribution strategy is purpose-built around two distinct customer groups. Professional operators and FECs are our core customers — commercial route operators and family entertainment centers who need reliable machines, analytics, and scale. Home enthusiasts and aspiring operators are our growth engine — hobbyists, gift buyers, and startup entrepreneurs who become tomorrow's professional operators.

ClawMachines.com as the Bridge

As America's definitive resource for claw machines, ClawMachines.com uniquely serves both customer groups simultaneously — offering premium plush prizes and approachable single-machine buying for home operators, while delivering SmartClaw analytics, commercial fleet pricing, and financial services for professional operators. It's the only channel in our portfolio that speaks to everyone.
