Jungle Driving, the newly relaunched teen driver’s education franchise with a life-saving mission to make roads safer for the next generation, is officially accelerating into its next phase of growth. Following its successful relaunch in 2025 with a rebuilt, tech-enabled model and a powerhouse leadership team, the brand has signed its first franchise owners, marking 25 territories awarded across eight major U.S. markets.
The milestone represents the brand’s rapid rise as one of the only immersive, mission-led driving school franchises in the U.S. Since unveiling its updated program, Jungle Driving has attracted strong interest from entrepreneurs aligned with its vision to save teen lives and bring a modern, purpose-driven approach to driver’s education.
“As a former teacher and a mother, I want to make sure that our future drivers are ready for the road and ready for anything that comes their way, which is why we’re so excited to bring Jungle Driving to the Southeast Valley,” said Stephanie Weddle, Co-Owner of Jungle Driving Phoenix.
Founded in 2003, Jungle Driving isn’t a new concept; it’s a trusted brand with more than two decades of impact. Under the brand’s CEO, Zach Beutler, the program has been fully modernized with tech-enabled tracking, immersive learning tools, and a curriculum designed to help teens build real confidence on the road.
“We’ve spent the past year refining every detail of our operations, technology, and curriculum to make sure our franchisees are set up for success from day one,” said Beutler, CEO of Jungle Driving. “These first franchise owners share our passion for saving teen lives and transforming the future of driver’s education.
