Trolley Pub
We provide tour and experience businesses under the TourScale, Trolley Pub, Trolley Party, and Paddle Pub names. Our businesses offer mobile entertainment tours to the general public using pedal-powered trolley vehicles and paddle-powered pontoon vessels. We operate with a standardized system that includes equipment specifications, software, operations procedures, customer service standards, training, and marketing support. In addition to operating these experiences, we also manufacture, sell, and lease some of the pedal-powered vehicles and vessels used in the business. Our model is a service-based, locally operated entertainment business that must comply with transportation, alcohol, safety, and other local regulations.
