Bubble Bus: Spreading Joy Through Mobile Bubble Entertainment

Bubble Bus is a unique mobile entertainment franchise that delivers unforgettable bubble-filled fun to events of all kinds. It was founded in 2014 by John and Beth Reider in St. Louis, Missouri, where it is still headquartered today.

The company began franchising in 2015, allowing others to bring this joyful concept to their own communities. Each Bubble Bus is a brightly wrapped vehicle capable of producing thousands of bubbles per minute, making it a hit at birthday parties, school events, festivals, and corporate gatherings.

The business stands out thanks to its patented Tekno Bubbles™, which glow under blacklight, adding a magical twist to nighttime events.

By offering an experience unlike any other in the party and event space, Bubble Bus continues to grow across the country. Its focus on spreading happiness, creativity, and wonder makes it a standout choice for aspiring franchise owners looking for a rewarding and joyful business.

Training

Bubble Bus Franchise LLC provides a structured training program to prepare new franchisees for operating their bubble-themed event business. The initial training is mandatory and must be completed by the franchisee and one employee before launching operations.

1. Initial Training Program: Bubble Bus offers a training program that includes classroom and hands-on instruction covering the operation of the Bubble Bus Business. This program must be completed to the franchisor’s satisfaction and is a prerequisite to opening the business.
2. Vehicle Setup and Product Training: Prior to training, the franchisee’s vehicle is equipped with necessary equipment and an initial inventory of bubble fluids and branded merchandise. This includes installations like vehicle wraps, shelving, LED lighting, and utility features essential for mobile events.
3. Operational Manual Access: Franchisees are loaned a copy of the Confidential Operations Manual, which includes detailed standards and procedures. This resource supports the franchisee throughout the training and ongoing business operation.
4. Ongoing Support: After the business is operational, Bubble Bus offers additional guidance and assistance upon request, which may be subject to a reasonable fee. This continued support includes access to product purchases and operational updates via the Manual.

Territory Protection

Bubble Bus Franchise LLC provides a defined "Protected Territory" to its franchisees under the Franchise Agreement. This territory is designated before the agreement is signed and must include a physical mailing address within its bounds. Franchisees typically operate from home but must ensure the business remains within the protected area, which is exclusively theirs for the duration of the agreement, barring any breach.

The protected territory means that Bubble Bus will not license another franchisee to operate within the area assigned to you. However, this exclusivity is tied to compliance—any failure to meet the franchise obligations may affect your territorial rights. The protection is not contingent on sales performance or other metrics; once assigned, the territory remains yours unless contractually altered.
