The Sports Bra is America’s pioneering sports bar dedicated exclusively to women’s sports, founded in 2022 by chef and former college basketball player Jenny Nguyen in Portland, Oregon. Launched via a record-breaking Kickstarter that raised over $105,000, it quickly hit $1 million in revenue within its first year, offering family-friendly vibes with craveable food like ribs and wings, plus drinks from women-owned distilleries. Backed by Alexis Ohanian’s 776 Foundation, The Sports Bra fosters community for women’s sports fans, expanding via franchises to Boston, Indianapolis, Las Vegas, and St. Louis by late 2025 amid booming women’s athletics viewership. This advocacy-driven brand blends hospitality with social impact, empowering women athletes and spectators in a male-dominated industry. Initial investment ranges from $292,500 to $893,000, including a $55,000 franchise fee, with veteran discounts.
