We have one Master Franchise and two Area Developments Awarded. The first site will in in Henderson, Nevada (Las Vegas area), and the next two sites will be in Phoenix and Chandler, Arizona. All three are planned to open Summer of 2025.

While the Links Golf Cafe model itself is new, one of the Founders has sold over 192,000 books on starting and running coffee bars, and has built some 187 of them for himself and his clients. That means he has built more independent coffee shops than anyone else on the planet. And the average cash on cash return was 52% per year over that period of time.

We are very proud of our support systems, both as you open your Links Golf Cafe and on-going support.The Initial Support answers the question, ‘just what do I get for my initial franchise fee?’, and the Ongoing Support answers the question, ‘what do I get in return for paying those ongoing system rental fees (or royalties)?’

Area Development Agreement

Own the right to develop 4 - 10 Links Golf Cafes with exclusive rights across a city, metro area, state, or province. Our primary focus in the beginning. Early adopters get several special bonuses including equity in Team Headquarters, double sized protected territories, and more. First two Area Developments are in Las Vegas and Phoenix.

Master Franchise

A Master Franchise, technically a Regional Subfranchise, is the exclusive rights to a Country or several US States to develop Links Golf Cafe Franchises in that market. Local knowledge, an appreciation of local customs, and of course, local language and laws, make this method the best way to grow if we find the right people. First Regional Subfranchise is in the Mountain Region. This includes Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Arizona &

New Mexico.

We use ten year terms, with ten year renewals. In addition we’re not allowed to make material changes to the renewal agreement (unlike most Franchisors), so that we can keep a win-win focus.

We are as proud of our targeted marketing strategies as we are of innovative Links Golf Cafe design and our impressive business golf and referral programs. As you progress through qualifying as a potential Franchise Owner, we’ll share this in detail, focusing on three areas: Lead Generation, Lead Conversion and Retention processes for the Links Golf Cafe.

With our extensive market research we’ve defined a large protected Territory of no less than one hundred thousand people. Therefore our protected Territories have been increased to two hundred fifty thousand people to ensure they’re big enough long term.The first ten Area Developers get double that size, or five hundred thousand population per protected Territory. This gives early adopters a major asset they can develop or sell off as we grow together.

All products and services must be approved by Team Headquarters. New ideas however are encouraged, and there are no test program fees to launch them. We do want to set goals and criteria for success, so that we can learn if it works or if it falls short.

Our goal is to have a business that generates more life and more profits for the Franchise Owner. That said, each Links Golf Cafe is designed to be run by a General Manager and three Assistant Managers. They’ll have strict standards to operate within, and will be encouraged to suggest improvements all the time.

Improvements will fall into three categories. Easy to test, more challenging, and very expensive or risky. Our plan is develop testing protocol to reflect the risk/reward of each category, and encourage the local leadership teams to embrace a Constant And Never-Ending Improvement mindset. (CANI).

Our franchise is set up to allow for easy exit, when the Franchise Owner decides it’s time to sell. Transfer fees are designed to cover the cost of training the new Owner, and do not include a percentage of the sale. We do have the right to “reasonably approve” the new owners, of course, but that’s it.

Our plan is to open at least one hundred locations within the first three to five years after the first site opens. This will be done by finding 20 - 30 Area Developers that open 4 - 10 locations each.

This is an early stage start-up, it’s not McDonalds or Starbucks. 

The Franchisor is in positive cash flow, selling the high end training Franchise Owners will sell in their Links Golf Cafe, and they are currently raising capital to expand the Team Headquarters.

In addition, the Founders have outside businesses that cash flow, and can sustain this early stage start-up.

Extensive research has been done to validate the three business models (coffee, golf and masterminds), including thousands of hours in this field by the Founders and Advisors To The Board.

The National Golf Foundation has detailed data on the sport of golf, and in particular the growth in what they call “Non- Traditional Golf” (golfing anywhere but on green grass golf courses). Of 37.5 million Americans who engaged in golf in 2021, 25.1 million played on a golf course and an additional 12.4 million participated exclusively off-course at driving ranges, indoor golf simulators, and golf entertainment venues like Topgolf® and Drive Shack®. This means that for the first time number of Non-Traditional Golfers are 50% of green grass golfers, up from less than ten percent a decade ago. And that number continues to grow. In 2023 54% of all golfers don't golf on grass. Equally exciting the percentage of women golfers on grass (20%) has risen to 43% in Non-traditional settings.

We’re so confident that these Links Golf Cafes will have positive cash flow that we are one of the very few Franchises that guarantee it, in our Franchise Agreement. If you’re not cash flow positive within 12 months of opening your Links Golf Cafe, we will pay your System Rental Fees (what some franchises call Royalties) until you are. Details available here.

That said, if you invest in a Links Golf Cafe and it doesn’t meet your financial or quality of life goals, we’ll help you find a buyer. One of our Founders has helped several hundred entrepreneurs sell their businesses over the years.
