Why Event Rentals Are the Perfect Side Hustle for Busy Parents and 9-to-5ers

Jul 21

Finding a side hustle that actually works for your lifestyle can feel impossible. Most options either eat up your evenings, require odd hours, or demand so much time and energy that they leave you drained before Monday morning.

If you’re a busy parent or working full-time, the last thing you need is another job that feels like… well, another job. That’s why more people are discovering Hoop Trailer—a mobile arcade basketball trailer business that fits perfectly into weekends, family schedules, and life outside the 9-to-5 grind.

Here’s why a Hoop Trailer makes sense for anyone looking to earn extra income without giving up their free time.

Flexible Weekends, No Late Nights

Most Hoop Trailer bookings happen on weekends—at breweries, schools, corporate events, and private parties. That means you can keep your weekday routine intact and still make an extra $1,500 to $2,500 per weekend working just a handful of hours.

Setup and teardown are quick, so you’re not stuck working late into the night or spending hours on end at events. Many owners schedule one or two events per weekend, leaving plenty of time for family, errands, and actual relaxation.

Kid-Friendly and Family-Friendly

For parents, Hoop Trailer isn’t just a side hustle—it’s a business the whole family can enjoy. Kids love being part of the setup, and older children can even help out with events (a fun way to teach them about running a business).

Plus, because most events are family-oriented—school fundraisers, community events, or brewery days where kids are welcome—you don’t feel like you’re missing out on time with your own family.

Some owners even book their trailers for their own celebrations, turning a business asset into part of their lifestyle.

No Experience Needed (or Late-Night Hustling)

Unlike many side hustles that require specialized skills or endless hours building an audience, a Hoop Trailer is a turnkey business. You get:

A branded, wrapped trailer with four arcade basketball hoops ready to roll.
A website and Google Business listing so customers can find you easily.
Training and support so you know exactly how to price, market, and operate your business.

Your job? Focus on showing up, delivering a great experience, and collecting your checks.

Work When You Want, Scale When You’re Ready

The beauty of a Hoop Trailer is flexibility. Some owners keep it as a side hustle forever, booking only the events they want and using the extra income for vacations, home projects, or savings. Others decide to scale up, adding more trailers or expanding into neighboring cities to build a full-time business.

The choice is yours. And because overhead is low and demand is high, you can grow (or keep it casual) without the stress most businesses bring.

Make Your Weekends Work for You

If you’re a parent or full-time employee looking for a side hustle that actually fits your life, a Hoop Trailer is the perfect opportunity. You get the flexibility to work when you want, the income to make a real difference, and the support to start fast—even with zero business experience.

With territories filling quickly as we grow from 23 locations to 100 by 2027, now is the time to bring Hoop Trailer to your city and start making your weekends work for you.
