Own A Veteran Focused Franchise
Own the Wagon. Build Your Legacy.
With a low investment and a 20 year history, this is an excellent franchise for any veteran who wants to get into business ownership.
WHAT IS Wild Bild Soda?
As a Wild Bill's franchise owner, you become the owner of a mobile soda shop. The franchisor provides you a long list of events that meet the minimum attendance requirement and you signup and bring your soda shop with you. Attendees buy collectible cups and fill up on soda during the event.
As the business grows, your trailers will be hired for private events like corporate training, church events, and hospital team days.
