Society Wine Bar Franchise Is a Low-Cost Food Business With Potential for High Revenue

Society Wine Bar offers an affordable entry point into the food business

If the startup costs related to food business ventures have discouraged you, Society Wine Bar is a first-to-market concept that is considerably less costly than a typical retail or food franchise. Society Wine Bar’s low startup costs, multiple revenue streams and corporate team of franchise and wine experts make our concept an attractive option for entrepreneurs who want a business that stands out in the competitive restaurant space.

A Society Wine Bar also is an exciting and fun franchise to own. Our impressive wine list features more than 200 wines by the glass, making us a hot spot for wine lovers of all levels. Additionally, we serve craft beers and small plates.

Society Wine Bar is a popular destination for people looking for something other than a traditional sports bar or impersonal restaurant or hotel bar. From couples on date night to a group of women enjoying a girls’ night out, the franchise is your local hot spot for all things wine.  

“Wine lovers seeking more in-depth knowledge about wines and wine making often have limited choices. They want something a little more elegant than a cookie-cutter chain restaurant bar that offers the list of generic red, white and sparkling wines you can find anywhere. Society Wine Bar offers an extensive wine list, plus hires only the most knowledgeable and passionate staff to guide customers through the wine buying and tasting process,” says Founder and CEO Jayme Kosar. “We are your local resource for all things wine, as well as a must-do for travelers. We set the bar, so to speak, in Tampa and Seminole Heights, and we’re ready to introduce wine lovers nationwide to our first-class wine bar concept.”

We’re seeking savvy entrepreneurs to help us expand beyond our popular Tampa, Florida, flagship locations. 2018 is the opportune time to get in on the ground floor of Society Wine Bar, which has low startup costs and minimal competition.

Low startup costs and multiple revenue streams make us
an attractive investment

The startup costs for a traditional restaurant or bar can be high — but not so at Society Wine Bar. Because our menu focuses on small plates and desserts, we don’t require a full kitchen. This translates to a simple build-out and low overhead. We also don’t require a large staff, since our operating hours are primarily in the afternoon and evening and we don’t need a full cooking staff. Society Wine Bar offers a flexible footprint, operating in fewer than 1,200 square feet, making it less costly to secure a perfect location.

With Society Wine Bar you’ll also have comfort of knowing that the business model is centered on four revenue streams: the wine bar, a retail wine shop, a weekly wine society and monthly wine club memberships that generate recurring revenue. Our popular weekly wine society classes attract regulars and build a sense of community, as well as strengthen our brand as local wine experts. Our subscription-based wine club rounds out this four-part revenue stream and is another differentiator from the typical, and predictable, neighborhood or restaurant bar.

Society Wine Bar franchise is a great portfolio investment
for experienced food operators

Not only is Society Wine Bar an excellent initial investment for entrepreneurs, we offer a potentially high-profit addition to a more experienced investor’s business portfolio. For instance, an established local restaurateur may wish to expand their food business holdings in their city with a Society Wine Bar. Because we don’t serve a full lunch or dinner menu, there is no direct competition!

The total investment range for opening a Society Wine Bar location is low, starting at $151,100. We don’t require a kitchen or extensive buildout, and our simple business model is ideal for retail space conversion. Preferred square footage for your Society Wine Bar is 1,000 to 1,200 square feet.

Our franchise team will assist you in selecting a location, ideally with proximity to restaurants and other retail establishments.
