To that end, the franchise team will leverage the success of their existing locations, the first of which opened in Tampa three years ago, followed by a second location in downtown Orlando two years later.

These establishments have become beloved destinations for dog owners and their furry companions, with many becoming VIP members and enjoying the unique combination of a full liquor sports bar and off-leash dog park.

On a local basis, Pups Pub has quickly established itself as a social hub not only for four-legged friends but also their human counterparts, fostering loyalty through monthly membership options, special events such as “Pawties,” community giveback initiatives, and cherished traditions.

Unleashing A New Dog-Friendly Business Concept

By granting dog lovers and sports bar enthusiasts the opportunity to bring Pups Pub franchise businesses to their local communities, they aim to tap into untapped markets.

Initially, Pups Pub’s target areas for franchising include regions from Texas to Florida and northward to Kentucky, Tennessee, and the Carolinas.

When it comes to location design, Pups Pub focuses on new construction projects as well as the conversion of existing sports bars that exceed 4,500 square feet.

Urban areas and mixed-use entertainment and living centers are particularly attractive for Pups Pub, providing adults and their dogs with a dedicated play space, especially in densely populated apartment communities.

Expand!

To summarize, Pups Pub’s decision to expand through franchising is a testament to the success of their dog bar concept.

Their mission to establish dog-friendly spaces in urban areas and their dedication to creating a multifaceted social hub make Pups Pub an exciting new franchise opportunity for dog enthusiasts and sports bar lovers across the nation.
