TourScale is a small entertainment franchise system offering pedal-powered tourism experiences on land vehicles (Trolley Pub) and water vessels (Paddle Pub, Tiki Pub, Cruisin' Tikis). The system has grown modestly to 36 units total. Investment varies significantly based on vessel type - from around $105K for small Cruisin' Tikis operations to over $700K for larger vessel operations. The franchise fee is $49,950 with 6% royalties and 2% advertising fund contributions plus 5% required digital ad spend. Item 19 financial performance data shows significant variation in sales performance, with median annual sales of $66,855 but a range from $26K to $265K. The system provides protected (but not exclusive) territories based on a 10-mile radius from the base of operations. Key risks include the small system size, high investment requirements for some vessel types, and wide performance variation among units.
