[1:01] Josh introduces today’s guest, Shane Dunn of the Pedal Pub franchise system. Shane assists with franchise development and has served in that capacity since 2017.

[2:04] Josh welcomes Shane to Franchise Euphoria.

[2:48] Shane does a quick overview of how Pedal Pub came to be and how he got started with the business.

[7:22] Now with over 50 locations, Pedal Pub has transitioned from a licensee model to a franchise model.

[11:13] Realistically for Pedal Pub’s northern markets, there’s only about 7 months of business operation due to weather constraints.

[13:16] The franchising process for Pedal Pub took about nine months to make a strategic plan and execute their franchise documents.

[16:43] One of the biggest things Pedal Pub did when beginning their search for franchisees was invest in a reputable PR company that had proven connections they were targeting. At this point in their process, they have so many leads coming in, they can be really selective to find the right people who fit their model.

[20:01] One of the biggest challenges Pedal Pubs has faced is finding the balance between a license structure and a franchise structure. From an external standpoint, a challenge for them is working with city officials to be sure they meet the criteria for each new market’s ordinances.

Started listening to Josh's podcast after the wife and I decided to buy a franchise and I quickly went through about 200 episodes on 1.5x & 2x, before signing on to purchase a franchise. Josh's info was an invaluable part of our decision to buy, and after listening to so many episodes, I felt like I knew and trusted him on a personal level, so it was a no-brainer to enlist his services when it came time to review the franchise agreement. Josh was super easy to talk to and very empathetic to our needs, and being first time business owners, we needed all the empathy we could get. Josh helped us negotiate a great deal with the franchisor and we were very happy with his services. Great podcast, great guy, great service to anyone involved in the franchise world!
