We love this business and receive calls all the time asking how we got into it. How did we find our bars and build them out, how we price everything … generally what we do and how we do it. And then comes the money question. Everyone wants to know how the numbers work and if this is a viable business.

The vintage mobile bar business is a great business to be in. Who wouldn’t love a bar on wheels. Weddings alone, nationwide over two million couples get married every year. That is a new audience every year to engage with. Your earning potential is only limited by how many days a week you want to put the bars to work. Weekday corporate events, private parties, graduations ... you name it. Mobile bars have the opportunity to be a seven-day a week business.

We are actively looking for Operating Partners in markets we do not currently service.  The minimum investment required to open a new market is $65K. For those seriously interested in the joining the Bubbles & Brews family, we are happy to share an inside look into our success and what the opportunity in your market may look like.

We make it simple. We bring everything to the table that works and help you adapt it for your market to fast track the business. This includes a Piaggio Ape that we restore and build-out, based on our award winning designs. Complete with our brand, creative, nation-wide coverage, pricing and marketing assets, you have all the elements to hit the ground running day-one. Going this route lowers your initial investment and puts you in the driver's seat with unlimited upside.

Alternatively, the DIY route involves importing a Piaggio or Tuk Tuk from overseas which presents numerous challenges. Watch out as there are countless stories of people paying for a unit and transporting it to the US only to have it seized by customs. This results in a total loss with no way to get it out of jail. We also hear about importers telling folks to import new Piaggios without a motor. Who wants to push a 900 lb vehicle (before you add another 500lbs of kegs and stuff) up and down trailer ramps and in and out of gigs ... not gonna happen. Then there are the challenges with servicing a Piaggio. Parts are not available in the United States and there are not any service locations. Ask us how many calls we receive every month asking for parts or help getting a truck up and running. We support our locations exclusively.
