Pups Pub Unleashes National Expansion Plans with First Franchise to Open in 2025
Florida-based and veteran-owned, Pups Pub is leading the pack in the dog bar industry as it franchises its successful sports bar and off-leash dog park concept. Fellow U.S. Air Force veteran Todeka George will open the company’s first franchise location in Brandon, FL by Q3 of 2025. This marks the beginning of Pups Pub's ambitious national expansion, with plans to open at least 10 new franchise locations by the end of next year.
Pups Pub’s innovative combination of a dog-friendly environment with a vibrant sports bar atmosphere has captured the attention of pet enthusiasts and entrepreneurs alike. Florida’s only multi-location (Tampa and Orlando) dog bar is poised to become the go-to destination for dog owners across the country with a focus on key growth markets such as Houston, Austin, and Dallas in Texas; Nashville and Chattanooga in Tennessee; Denver, Colorado; Las Vegas, Nevada; Charleston, South Carolina; and West Palm Beach and Ft. Lauderdale in Florida.
The first 10 Pups Pub franchisees, affectionately known as "Pack Leaders," will have the unique opportunity to join the company’s advisory board that will ultimately shape the future of the brand. This elite group will provide input on corporate culture, franchise training, field support, and innovation. As a special incentive, these founding franchisees will receive a $15,000 franchise fee discount and a 2% royalty fee reduction. Military veterans are eligible for an additional 25% franchise fee discount, further emphasizing Pups Pub's commitment to supporting veterans.
