Our Story
From a simple idea to a thriving collector's paradise
How It Started
Wheels and Deals was born from a simple obsession: the thrill of hunting for rare Hot Wheels. We watched collectors spend hours searching malls, stores, and online platforms, hoping to find that elusive Treasure Hunt or Super Treasure Hunt. We saw an opportunity to bring that excitement directly to shoppers through innovative vending machines.
What started in one mall location has grown into a multi-mall operation serving thousands of collectors across the Chicago suburbs. Today, we've expanded beyond vending with treasure hunt sales, party packages, and subscription services—making Hot Wheels collecting more accessible and fun than ever.
Our mission is simple: bring joy, nostalgia, and the thrill of the hunt to everyone, whether they're 5 or 55.

Making Hot Wheels collecting exciting, accessible, and fun for everyone.
