Wheel Fun Rentals Franchise Opportunities

Wheel Fun Rentals franchisees have seen growth year after year that’s consistent with these trends and are excited for what the future holds. But even a few years ago, when the economy was less stable, Wheel Fun Rentals continued to be a great value in family entertainment.  We have historically found that when consumers are cutting back, our high-value entertainment and amusement alternative does well. Whether in economic recession or boom, Wheel Fun Rentals expects to deliver solid revenue growth year after year.

WHY BECOME A FRANCHISEE?

In addition to brand identity, fully-developed business operating systems, a great lineup of products, market analysis, and exclusive prime territories, there are many other reasons to have a Wheel Fun franchise:

Thorough Training

Attend the week-long Wheel Fun Training Camp in Southern California, and then receive ongoing training and support for as long as you are a Wheel Fun franchisee.

Ongoing Support

Receive the support of a team that will assist you on the road towards realizing your dreams. Take advantage of our field visit program, response hotline, owners association, and use our free in-house advertising agency.

Established Clout

Obtain preferential pricing from suppliers, including insurance at a system-wide rate.

Image & Branding

We strive to maintain a consistent “Wheel Fun” experience across all of our franchised locations. Our goal is modern amusement entertainment (think Disney®), in a leisure environment.

Earnings Claim

Unlike most franchisors, we’re not afraid to provide you with information on historical results – not just the numbers on prime locations – on every Wheel Fun location. That information is part of our offering circular and we welcome any questions you may have.

“One of the biggest points of becoming a franchisee was the overall support;
the marketing and the support of the company.”
– Reggie Drew (Franchisee – Santa Barbara, CA)

As a Wheel Fun franchisee, you will be part of a great, hand-picked team. You’ll have the benefits of a nationwide system, supported by cutting edge technology, providing you with recognition and a brand image second to none, and the assistance of a franchisor that is committed to supporting you as you achieve your goals.

How long does the process take?
Depending on how quickly you want to move things along, the process can take as little as 3 to 4 weeks to be qualified and awarded a Wheel Fun franchise.

What happens during this process?
We’re looking for a few select candidates; ultimately we’ll only have a few hundred territories (over fifteen hundred outlets). We get a chance to meet, show you the Wheel Fun opportunity, and answer all of your questions. At the conclusion of the selection process, both of us must be confident that the prospects for a mutually rewarding relationship are overwhelmingly positive.

What does it cost?
Depending on the territory, the total costs will be between $65,000 and $320,000. These amounts will vary depending upon your build out costs, size of territory awarded, and mostly the amount of equipment needed.
