6 Karaoke Bar Business Success Stories [2023]
Karaoke bars provide karaoke equipment so people sing publicly on a set stage. The karaoke bars are high-traffic and can generate income quickly compared to standard nightclubs. Karaoke bars feature essential lighting and giveaways to encourage singers and their participation and let the booze flow!
Here are some real life success stories of starting a karaoke bar business:
1. The AirScream ($144K/year)
Kelli L Bielema (from Seattle, Washington, USA) started The AirScream almost 4 years ago.
We are Kelli Bielema & Vanessa Resler and we run The AirScream, a mobile karaoke lounge in a vintage Airstream located in Seattle, WA. The AirScream is an experience like no other where we bring the trailer to your special event, park it & let the party ignite! Our customers are marketing and brand specialists who want a unique activation at their events that bring people together. We also work with event planners who plan corporate parties as well as private social celebrations like birthday parties and weddings.
We are new to the market and are slowly scaling up as we get comfortable with our processes so we can perfect everything before we debut to the public. Currently, we are operating focus groups with event planners & vendors, our friends & family and with upcoming pop-up events at select locations where we truly will experience The AirScream in the wild.
