When owner and founder Liliana Lovell started the small bar in New York City, she had no idea that someday, her brand would be world famous. 23 years after opening the original Coyote Ugly Saloon, the famous bar is expanding to all parts of the globe. Momentum has been building in recent months; the world-famous chain has signed international development deals and opened bars in Wales, Kyrgyzstan, and Japan. At the same time as the franchised locations are opening outside of the USA, it is opening new company-owned bars in Ft. Worth, Texas.
This recent surge in the brand’s expansion is just the beginning, as Coyote Ugly is in development conversations with potential franchisees in China, Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Germany, Canada, Mexico and more, with no signs of slowing down. “It’s a unique thing to have such availability for franchising in major international markets with a brand this big but it won’t last; the secret is out!” says Vice President of Global Development Justin Livingston. With major cities like London, Sydney, Shanghai, Bangkok, Montreal, Cancun, Rio, and many more, there are amazing opportunities for Coyote Ugly all around the world.
The world-famous Coyote Ugly Saloon brand, with its renowned entertainment from the Coyotes, appeals to both tourists and locals. Both a party-bar and place to be entertained, visitors can expect to grab a few (or many) drinks as well as watch as the Coyotes dazzle the crowd with dancing, signing, games and more. Coyote Ugly is a culture and an experience that keeps patrons coming back for more.
The franchise is seeking partners who have the experience and desire to enter or expand into the bar/nightclub industry at the top with a powerhouse brand. The Saloons (bars) thrive in major cities with high tourism and high numbers of local patrons. With such high brand recognition, a Coyote Ugly saloon is both your neighborhood bar and a business that attracts tourists who want to have the Coyote Ugly experience. “What an incredible opportunity to open a new business that immediately benefits from brand recognition and has people lining up to check it out!” says Livingston.
The Coyote Ugly legend began with a girl, a dream, and a little bit of Wild Turkey. In 1993, Liliana “Lil” Lovell, a 24-year-old Wall Street apprentice-turned-bartender was living a good life. She was doing a job she loved, making money, and gaining notoriety for her antics on the bar as well as behind it. Tired of working for other people, she was ready to make her move. The plan was simple: open her own bar, make money, and have fun doing it. Determined not to let anyone or anything get in her way, she drew up a business plan: beautiful girls + booze = money. It was that simple concept that challenged the way the bar industry had worked for years and incited excitement and a culture that soon became world famous.
“It never hit me how far this thing had gone until we started opening saloons abroad,” says founder Liliana Lovell. “As Coyote Ugly’s fame continues to grow, we look forward to taking the world by storm, one boot-stomping bar at a time.”
With over 20 years of experience, over 20 Saloons world-wide, a huge, blockbuster movie, three seasons of a reality show on Country Music Television, Coyote Ugly Saloons has its sights set on expanding Saloons all over the globe! Coyote Ugly offers an International franchise program for selected franchise candidates full of fun, support, high profits, and the recognition of one of the world’s best known brands. “It’s really a unique opportunity for a brand this size to have such wide availability in major international markets” says Livingston. “We’re taking the most famous bar brand in the world and offering not only the power and history of the brand, but a support and training franchise program unparalleled in franchising which sets sets up the right franchisees for amazing success!”
Led by owner, founder, and original Coyote Liliana Lovell, Coyote Ugly has a well-oiled machine for a system and is excited to translate that to one of the strongest support and training systems in franchising. Over 20 years after its conception in New York City, the Coyote Ugly brand has never been stronger. The concept has a unique offering, able to provide systems and methods of running the world-famous brand but also the flexibility to adapt to local cultures and traditions. The robust training and operations system includes full training of owners, managers, and staff, assistance with site selection and procurement, store design, brand and marketing guidance, and unrivaled ongoing support.
Franchisees who are hands on, have a deep understand of their local market and commit to follow Coyote Ugly’s franchise system are those who are most likely to become key players in the bar and nightclub retail sector.
The total investment in a Coyote Ugly Saloon franchise is between $500,000USD and $1,500,000USD dependent on location/market, size, and condition of the unit. Single and multi-unit franchise partnerships are available. Single sites carry a franchisee fee of $60,000USD while multi-store investors pay a franchise fee of $120,000USD for the rights to open up to three units.
