Rev Up Revenues with Kart Trax
Here's an opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a booming family entertainment business. Kart Trax Formula Racing brings all the fun and excitement of auto racing to kids of all ages, in a safe, clean, upscale environment with its electric powered go-karts.
Kart Trax has just begun expanding the success of its enormously popular launch facility in Myrtle Beach, S.C. Since opening in June 2004, the Myrtle Beach sight has been home to 50,000 adult and over 18,000 children's races.
If you associate motorized go-karts with outdoor parks and gas-powered engines, be ready for a clean, upscale, surprise. Our model is built upon electric-powered Karts in indoor facilities, and this business has endless advantages over the gas-powered go-kart parks.
Your business can run 365 days a year. No sitting idle for six months a year or even on inclement days.
You can extend your customers' visits by exercising climate control. Your facility will provide air-conditioned relief on hot days and a dry warm environment on rainy or cold days. Climate controlled environments encourage customers to stay longer and potentially spend more in your facility.
You can boost an upscale ambiance. Your clean, aesthetically pleasing facility will entice businesses as well as families to plan events and parties at your location.
Proprietary movable barriers allow different track layouts to be created enticing customers to "Come and try the new track."
Offering year-round employment can attract and keep a better-trained and more reliable staff.
Electric-powered go-kart engines mean:Environmentally friendly facilities--no noise or air pollution issues to contend with.
No purchasing, storage, handling, or disposing of fuels like gasoline, propane and methanol, and subsequently, no re-fueling of karts.
More efficient and robust engines than gas powered karts, fewer moving parts and therefore, easier maintenance, lowered risk of engine failure, lowered incidences of down-time, more productive time for you and your thriving business.
For safety, Kart Trax proprietary go-karts come equipped with state of the art radio controlled emergency shut-off and speed reduction equipment. Our go-karts also carry a superiorly designed chassis that makes for strong go-karts, which in turn deliver years of service to you.
A unique "one stop shop" offered nowhere else in the industry. Kart Trax has partnered with the best providers of equipment, spare parts and operational support services, enabling you to recognize the cost benefits of economies of scale. Our over 25 company wide supplier-relationships span from proprietary go-karts, timing and scoring systems, safety barriers, concession equipment, arcade redemption supplies, liability insurance and spare parts just to name a few.
This all boils down to one great advantage: you get to concentrate on sales.

The information presented may have changed since first published. We recommend that you always verify fees, investment amounts and offers with the business opportunity directly prior to making a decision to invest.
1. What training and ongoing support do you provide?
You want to know what happens after you pay the initial fee. A strong franchisor provides comprehensive pre-opening training, site-selection help, operational playbooks, and continuous assistance with marketing, technology, and supply chains.
2. What is the total initial investment, and did actual startup costs match the estimates in Item 7 of the FDD?
The Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) lists estimated startup costs in Item 7, but real-world expenses can run higher. Asking how closely current owners tracked to these estimates reveals if you need extra working capital or if hidden fees exist.
3. How do royalties and local/national marketing fees impact profitability?
You need to understand ongoing financial obligations-such as monthly royalty percentages and ad fund contributions-and evaluate whether the brand value and support justify cutting into your profit margins.
4. What are the common challenges new franchisees face, and how do you help them overcome them?
Transparent franchisors will openly discuss real hurdles like local competition, tight labor markets, or supply chain bottlenecks, and show you the exact playbook or field support they offer to solve them as well as allowing you to speak with other franchisees.
5. How many franchise locations have closed or left the system in the past few years, and why?
High turnover, store closures, or quiet franchise exits are major red flags. This question measures system stability, territory health, and whether the corporate team addresses struggling owners or lets them fail.
