Dryvebox Columbus is seeking a buyer for a 51% controlling interest in a turnkey mobile golf simulator franchise. The current owner is also open to selling a larger interest or completing a full acquisition depending on the buyer and transaction terms. The business features a custom-built, solar-powered, climate-controlled simulator trailer equipped with TrackMan 4 technology.
It also includes an indoor golf enclosure, allowing the business to operate at both indoor and outdoor venues throughout the year. With no permanent retail location or traditional commercial lease, the experience can be brought directly to corporate events, golf outings, weddings, trade shows, festivals, private parties, and instructional programs. An experienced local operator is already in place.
He is a Class A PGA Professional, knows the equipment and event process, and is expected to remain with the business following the ownership transition. This allows an incoming owner to focus primarily on sales, marketing, local relationship development, franchise calls, and overall business growth rather than personally operating every event. The Columbus market offers significant room for expansion through corporate event teams, golf courses, private clubs, hotels, event planners, wedding venues, universities, festivals, and local businesses.
Additional opportunities include recurring corporate programs, golf outings, instructional events, sponsorships, seasonal activations, and multi-event customer packages. For a 51% acquisition, the incoming partner will lead local growth and day-to-day business development. The current owner will retain 49% and remain involved as a supportive, primarily passive strategic partner, with major and protected decisions addressed through the operating agreement.
The listed $190,000 commitment applies to the 51% ownership structure and includes $25,000 of funded working capital retained by the business at closing. This provides immediate operating runway and will support the business vehicle, insurance, sales activity, marketing, maintenance, and other operating needs. The owner is also open to selling a larger ownership interest or the entire business.
Pricing and transition terms for an ownership interest greater than 51% will be adjusted based on the percentage acquired and the proposed transaction structure. In a full acquisition, the current owner will provide an agreed transition period before exiting the business. The owner relocated the business from Denver to Columbus and subsequently accepted a full-time job.
Limited bandwidth has constrained local sales development, creating an opportunity for a new owner to grow an established and differentiated business within Columbus’s strong golf and corporate-events market. Any transaction is subject to satisfactory diligence, definitive agreements, and required franchisor approval. Detailed financial information, asset documentation, franchise materials, and a complete opportunity packet are available to qualified prospects following an initial conversation and confidentiality agreement.
