Has the economy got you down?Do you want to make more money?Have you lost your job?Do you have summers off?Do you want to run your own business?If your answer is yes, then I have a great opportunity for you!
Tube Leavenworth is Washington State's first and finest river tubing company. We started in 2003 and have increased sales every season. Since 2006 we maxed out our flagship operation at 10,000 tubes in a 12 week season! In 2008 we opened 3 new locations on the Wenatchee river and in 2009 we've opened on the Yakima River in Washington and the Colorado River in Yuma. We now have our sights set on locations in Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, California, Nevada, and Texas.
Today's economy is depressing. People are loosing their jobs, their investments aren't performing well, and in many cases people are worried about keeping their homes and making ends meet. While vacations to exotic locations may be put on hold, people still need to have fun. Tubing is a great opportunity for a family to have fun on a budget. They can spend the whole day outside floating, swimming, playing, and forgetting about their troubles, all for about $15 per person.
At Let's Go Tubing we have developed custom equipment and figured out the most efficient and fun way to operate a river tubing business, and most importantly, we've created the market and have the customers calling and calling.
If you love the river, like to work outdoors, and are looking for something exciting and dynamic, we could have a great opportunity for you. You could start up and manage a new location that we have been researching. Depending on the size of the operation and the duration of the season, you could make quite a bit of money. Most of our business is summer seasonal, so if you're a school teacher looking for extra summer cash or a college student wanting to maximize your summer income, this could be just right.
Why not start your own from scratch?
You could start your own company from scratch. You could, after all, I did. But, there is a long learning curve and the equipment is not out there. There are other tubes that will work, there is software that does the job, insurance is available, and the list goes on. But why? I have all the answers and I'm willing to give them to you at a fraction of the cost of your time in research and mistakes. I'll also give you the support: What if you have 50 tubes and one van but have a request for a company picnic for 200 people? What are you going to do? With us, you can get another vehicle and enough equipment to service that reservation and grow your business! Nobody else in the industry will give you that.

Dave giving a safety talk at the beginning of the trip What's the deal? We are looking for Owner / Operators for various locations around the western states. All training and equipment is provided along with centralized reservations and ongoing administrative support. If you partner with us and purchase a location, you will own, operate, and be responsible for all aspects of the location including planning, logistics, hiring, training, safety, operations, local marketing, accounting, taxes, cleanup, and more. $$ What's is cost? $$ To buy all the equipment outright and get your own operation off to a great start with training, permits, contracts, insurance, & marketing it will cost about $30,000. How much will I make? As with any business there are fixed and variable costs. Labor and fuel are the biggest expenses, then you have marketing, permits, insurance, vehicle and equipment maintenance, and of course, taxes. When it is all said and done the typical net is 50% for an owner operated location. Depending on your volume, you can net anywhere from $20,000 - $75,000 per season. What's the catch? You can't get something for nothing. The catch is you have to work hard and manage your business well. Although we offer a great business plan with tremendous support, you still have to manage it well to maximize your profits. We have a standard agreement of non-disclosure and statement of non competition that we need from you prior to discussing the business in detail. We will also interview you and make sure your interest, abilities, and time available are a good match for this business. This isn't for everyone, but it is a great opportunity for the right person. Qualifications needed A qualified person or team for this opportunity needs to love the river, be very aware of the river environment, be able to communicate with many different groups of people, be able to drive a van and trailer, work outdoors all day, lift hundreds of tubes a day, cashier, perform basic accounting, and more. This is a do it all job. You need to hire, train, and manage staff, communicate with our office daily, receive reservations the night before, generate reports, and more. |

This is not a franchise, you will own and operate your own rental location. If you're interested I would love to talk with you about your ideas and answer your questions. Dave |
