WHAT IS THE COST OF OWNING A PEDAL PUB FRANCHISE?

Total first-year start-up costs for this business are estimated between $117,450 – $270,400. This figure is low relative to most other new ventures. This estimate includes the purchase of two bikes as well as anticipated insurance, storage, and marketing costs. Each franchisee is encouraged to start with two bikes, in order to support corporate outings and group events.

WHAT MAKES PEDAL PUB BIKES SUPERIOR?

Pedal Pub party bikes are manufactured by Het Fietscafe of the Netherlands. Fietscafe is the world’s FIRST party bike manufacturer, producing its first bike in 1996! Since its founding, Fietscafe has tested and perfected its machine to be the most classic, durable, and withstanding party bike currently in production.

CAN I OPERATE IF MY CITY DOES NOT ALLOW ALCOHOL ON BOARD?

Yes, a portion of our network does not allow patrons to bring alcohol on board, due to city or state regulations. These franchisees, however, do quite well without alcohol and emphasize the social value of the experience. Details are included in our Business Brochure.

HOW SOON CAN I GET MY BIKE(S)?

We maintain an inventory of bikes in our U.S. warehouse. As a Pedal Pub Franchisee, you will receive your bike(s) prior to opening day, ensuring a quick start to your operation
