Rick Barstow

Owner

Fractional Toys was founded by Rick Barstow in 2014 after he saw a need in the market for a full-service, full line of rentable equipment catering to experiencing the outdoors. His extensive experience in boat sales, purchasing, and customer service led him to develop the concept to where it is today! Building his initial pilot location and working with a satellite location gave him the experience and knowledge to scale the business and bring it to life as a franchise in 2023.

The moment you meet Rick, you’ll feel an immediate sense of connection -- as if you’ve known each other for years! The passion he brings to his business, and now each franchise location, is unmatchable. As is the experience and knowledge he’s gained while being in your shoes as a business owner. He’s excited to share in your dream of becoming a business owner as you become a franchisee of Fractional Toys.
