Park 'N Fly was an off-airport parking operator based in the United States, established in 1967 in St. Louis, Missouri by Theodore P (Ted) Desloge, a prominent member of the magnate family. This Atlanta, Georgia-headquartered company was acquired in 1988 by the Dutch firm BCD Group.[2]
Operating for 56 years across 12 markets, Park 'N Fly boasted 13 facilities and 80 affiliate locations, offering a spectrum of services ranging from valet parking and car detailing to pet boarding and online reservations.[3] Park 'N Fly has developed an extensive network of off-airport parking services at over 67 airports throughout the United States via its Internet-based reservation system, known as the Park 'N Fly Network.[4]
The trademark "Park 'N Fly" has been registered by the company. This registration was affirmed as more than a descriptive trademark by the United States Supreme Court in the case of Park 'N Fly, Inc. v. Dollar Park & Fly, Inc., a decision rendered in 1985.[5]
On February 6, 2024, Park 'N Fly was acquired by Chicago-based competitor The Parking Spot, with Park 'N Fly locations ultimately taking on The Parking Spot branding.[6]
