Based in San Diego, Event Network is the leading operator of specialty retail locations at aquariums, science centers, museums and other cultural attractions in North America.

Event Network provides custom product development, store design, merchandising and retail solutions to heighten the overall experience and create lasting memories for patrons to its partner attractions.

Steve Brown, a partner at Promus, described the transaction process as “one of mutual respect where we ended up admiring the company even more than we did six months ago when we embarked on a comprehensive due-diligence process. The Event Network team is committed to providing outstanding service and a customized solution for each new opportunity.”

Event Network will maintain its workforce, culture and strategy following the Promus investment. It will continue to build new partnerships with world-class cultural attractions.
