Experiential Tourism emerged as a real thing less than 10 years ago. Its growth has been phenomenal. It’s driven by millennial pocketbooks as consumers trend toward spending money on “experiences” over “things”. The industry is expected to exceed $12 billion in revenue by 2023. Pedal Pub is the original U.S. party bike—we’ve set the standard and continue to raise the bar.
PEDAL PUB Franchise
Pedal Pub offers community members and tourists alike a chance to socialize with friends, partake in a light workout, and tour neighborhoods and cities in an exciting, unique way through our party bikes. We have partnered with the world-renowned bike manufacturer, Fietscafe®, the original party bike, to ensure every bike is of the highest quality and meets our exceptional safety standards for the benefit of all our riders. Our founders brought the first party bike from Amsterdam to the U.S. in 2007 and not only did they start a novel idea for city tours— they invented an industry. Fast forward a decade later and we’re operating in more than 50 cities, creating a fun, safe, and eco-friendly experience for millions of guests annually.
Why Pedal Pub Franchise?
All franchising opportunities are not created equal. If you want the potential for financial success combined with a fun and adventurous lifestyle, then mobile entertainment is where you want to be. And within that space, Pedal Pub is miles ahead of the party bike copycats.
- A Fun & Rewarding Experience: Our franchisees love what they do and can’t wait to get out of bed in the morning. Pedal Pub is an experiential company, and owning a Pedal Pub franchise delivers a far more unique experience than owning a brick-and-mortar business.
- The “Kleenex” of the Industry: In a world of imitators, Pedal Pub is the original U.S. party bike. We set the standard, and we continue to raise the bar.
- Experience & Quality: We’ve logged millions of tour hours, so we can help you navigate all the ins and outs of the business. As the people who brought the original Fietscafe® party bike to the U.S., we only put only the highest-quality and longest-lasting vehicles on the road. And with our Pilot Certification Program, no one puts better-trained pilots on their bikes.
- A Sky-High Ceiling: The party bike industry is booming. With 50 locations and growing, Pedal Pub invented the space and leaves its competitors in the dust. As more cities realize the economic benefits of mobile entertainment, we’ll continue to lower the barriers to success.
- Corporate Account Sales Program: We’ve created a system to book corporate team-building and other tours across the country, delivering more business to your front door.
- Unmatched Buying Power: From insurance and booking software to signage and merchandise, we’ve got the negotiating leverage. We get discounts. We lower your cost of doing business. We constantly work to improve your profitability.
- A Better Bottom Line: Backed by investors who believe in the party bike space, Pedal Pub offers you a great franchising opportunity. And it starts now.
