Run a real American Sports Bar!

Dan and Julie Volmert recognized the need for a true sports bar & grill in the St. Louis, Missouri market more than 20 years ago. They created Hotshots Sports Bar and Grill in 1990 to meet that need with a unique combination of "All the Games, All the Time," pool, darts, video games and food. Since 1990, Dan and Julie have been continuously involved with improving the Hotshots Hotshots Sports Bar and Grill Franchise Opportunity_3system and growing into what we are today; a growing franchise with an excellent reputation in the industry. Dan and Julie have become leaders in the marketing of products and dynamic trendsetting; their concepts are continually mimicked but never successfully copied.

Franchisees receive support in all areas before opening and after opening. Prior to opening, franchisees can expect support with site selection and lease negotiation, complete store layout and design, and a dedicated project manager to assist with the opening process.

During the training process franchisees learn all aspects of operations and management of a Hotshots Sports Bar and Grill. During the grand opening we send our training staff to the franchise location for 5 days to ensure they get the jump-start needed for success. Once opened, a dedicated support member helps each franchisee achieve their goals.
