September 11, 2019 // Franchising.com // St. Augustine, FL, West Palm Beach, FL, Del Ray Beach, FL, Key West, FL, Boca Raton, FL and Waitsfield, VT - Discovery Map International, the leading provider of curated guides to top tourist attractions, cities and towns throughout North America, recently announced Ryan and Simi Pinnell as the new owners of the Discovery Map of Port St. Augustine, Key West, Delray Beach and Discovery Map of West Palm Beach. The Pinnells acquired the maps on August 1.

Owners of Treasure Coast Seltzer Works, the Pinnells first became familiar with Discovery Map through the territories and family vacations where the company sells its seltzer products from Melbourne, Florida to the Florida Keys.

“We’ve seen Discovery Map prints throughout our travels and in the territories where sell our seltzer and loved them,” said Ryan Pinnell. “When Simi was looking to go back to work once our three boys had grown, she wanted something that would be a challenge professionally yet offer the flexibility in schedule to be there for our boys after school. That’s when we started exploring business opportunities that would allow us to keep our schedules open.”

Adds Simi, “When the Discovery Map franchises became available in West Palm Beach, Key West, Delray Beach and St. Augustine, it made sense from so many perspectives. Business-wise, we liked the idea of taking over established maps in established territories. Personally, the flexibility in schedule fits in well with our lifestyle. The boys will even be helping out in the business distributing maps.”

Discovery Map prints are colorful, hand-drawn maps that have become a favorite of travelers for navigating local dining, attractions, businesses, cultural experiences and tourist destinations. Discovery Map of West Palm Beach, Key West, Delray Beach and Discovery Map of St. Augustine includes sites and destinations ranging from restaurants to shopping venues, art museums to theaters and various activities.

Discovery Map prints are typically found on display in local stores, restaurants, hotels and tourist attractions. In addition to the printed map, DiscoveryMap.com offers curated content for visitors to West Palm Beach Key West, Delray Beach and St. Augustine and those planning a trip (it’s even great for locals who are unaware of their own town’s hidden gems). The interactive map found the website is to scale, thus can be used for turn-by-turn directions, as well as to access detailed information about areas of interest, places to eat, lodging and other noteworthy sites.

“As much as we rely on our smartphones, people still prefer printed-out maps,” said Ryan. “The maps are truly like works of art and reveal the character of an area... and West Palm Beach Key West, Delray Beach and St. Augustine have plenty of that.”
