Description
HardTop Hotel is the world leader in a profitable niche space: Jeep Wrangler and Ford Bronco HardTop and SoftTop storage and installation.
We are a fun, seasonal business seeking owners who would enjoy light summers and winters.
We operate on a home service model, going directly to vehicles to perform service and/or leaving with a HardTop to be stored.
On the tech front, we are powered by OwnerAlly, a proprietary software specifically designed to run the business.
We're primarily seeking owner/operators, but are open to more passive owners on a case by case basis.
