Coyote Ugly Eyes Franchise Growth with Bold Expansion Plans in North America
Internationally renowned Coyote Ugly Saloon, celebrated for its high-energy atmosphere and powerhouse brand appeal, is ramping up to expand its footprint in the U.S. and Canada.
With its unique global appeal and proven business model, the world-renowned bar concept remains hungry for growth, forging ahead with plans to expand its North American presence in strategic markets as one of the most compelling franchise opportunities in the hospitality sector.
What Separates Coyote Ugly from the Rest?
Closing in on 30 worldwide locations, Coyote Ugly’s enduring success lies in the brand’s ability to evolve while delivering a consistent and authentic experience. Whether in New York, Texas, or internationally, each location embodies the same authentic vibe with regional flavor that connects to their local communities and builds on the saloon’s loyal following.
CEO and founder Liliana "Lil" Lovell, who launched Coyote Ugly as a humble dive bar in New York City in 1993, sums up the staying power of the iconic legacy brand best:
“There are a million concepts that have female bartenders, but the beauty about ours is that we have a movie and a TV show that has provided a lot of enlightenment to people,” Lovell recently shared on the podcast Restaurant Owners Uncorked. “What makes us different is how we can control our branding, how we have to make sure that when we are franchising, that they're upholding the brand name and the brand concept.”
Entrepreneurs looking to invest in an unmatched brand that thrives on breaking the mold will gain access to a winning franchise blueprint and support that includes:
