Yes absolutely -- a PubKey in every city!
At the moment we're focusing on Philly for our first expansion. We like the idea of keeping PubKeys close to HQ so we can have a solid view into quality control across everything we do. We've also been in talks with a number of Bitcoin communities around the world exploring opportunities to expand via Franchisement.
What city needs a PubKey? We’d love to hear from you. Except for San Francisco. They’re on their own…for now…

Good to hear. Glad business is going well enough that you guys are looking at expanding. I am in Canada and don't live in a major city anymore but hopefully one day we will see a PubKey in Toronto or Vancouver. Or maybe you will sell me the rights to the Canadian region. I will have to come visit first though. Haha.

Philly is a 3+ hour drive. Open up and I'll be there on opening weekend.

Philly has a great community taking shape. Shout out to Bitcoin Jawn. Very impressive what that team has built in such a short period of time

If we buy a franchise do we get a few rolls of that distinctive wall paper that is in the meeting room?

Everything we do is one run only (merch, art, etc) -- so when its gone its gone. The original idea for the wallpaper in the bathroom is those "Post No Bills" adverts that get plastered all over the city. So at some point when the OG wallpaper gets bad enough it'll get a freshly coated design.

I have never been so I don't know what you are referring to but have thought it would make sense for the concept to exist in major cities. I don't think PubKey would be a 500 location franchise but why not one in Austin, Nashville, Miami etc.

Each new location needs to feel right for the city that it's part of. PubKey London should feel like an old English pub. It has to be hyperlocal and relevant to the clientele. Nothing can be cookie-cutter or pre-fab, because that would ruin the authenticity that we value as the core of our brand.
