Saitō started the collection in 2016. He obtained and purchased machines for the collection through online auctions and word of mouth. A majority of the machines are from the 1970s and 1980s, the end of Japan's Shōwa era. Saitō repairs and maintains the machines himself, since they are no longer supported by their manufacturers. In September 2021, a button on one of the machines was broken by a vandal, and a plastic parts manufacturer created a replacement for free using CAD.
The collection is more time-consuming than the tire shop, and Saitō has as many employees to restock and cook for the machines as his shop. The kitchen makes more than 600 meals a day. In 2022, Saitō estimated that the collection drew 300–400 customers on weekdays and 1,000 customers on weekends. The collection is considered a "pilgrimage site" for fans of retro vending machines.
