Upgrade
Rolling Bones Outdoors is an outdoor expedition booking and concierge franchise that helps clients plan hunting, fishing, and other outdoor trips through a catalog of outfitter-provided adventures. The model also includes hunting and fishing license application management, plus a branded retail store for outdoor gear, supported by a membership program and the company’s RADS software system.
The concept was founded in 2011 by Brian Mehmen and Lynley Mehmen, and it established its first brick-and-mortar pro shop in Spearfish. The business later expanded from trip booking into a broader system that includes independent agents, member services, and standardized tools that support how franchises sell memberships, adventures, and gear.
