Get to Know: King Carts

In the heart of St. Pete, King Carts has emerged as a thriving family-owned business with a captivating origin story. The journey began with a cherished neighborhood holiday tradition—an uninterrupted procession of beautifully decorated golf carts parading through the town, celebrating the vitality of the community. These golf carts are more than just powerful 4-wheel vehicles, they symbolize an invitation to the good life.

The driving force behind King Carts is Bart Harla, the self-proclaimed "Ambassador of Fun," whose dream was to share the joy of the golf cart-loving community. Bart's journey started in his own driveway, where he set out to enhance his golf cart with LED lighting, Bluetooth music systems, and lift kits. His skill and dedication quickly drew the attention of neighbors, and before long, he was customizing their carts as well. The birth of King Carts was the result of a gentle nudge from his patient wife to relocate his operation from the driveway.

King Carts embodies the spirit of family entrepreneurship, led by Bart Harla and supported by his wife, Melissa, affectionately known as the "Queen of Carts." Adding a touch of youthful enthusiasm to the mix, their 2-year-old daughter, Mila, takes charge of the Sales department.

"We love the diversity and liveliness of St. Pete. The People, the community, and the love around St. Pete is unmatched in any city."
