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.

We offer a winning combination of people and products, and our proven system that will help you reach your growth potential.

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.
