Description
For over 20 years, growing up in Southern California meant day trips to one of SoCal’s most beloved children’s entertainment centers. Family owned and operated, they currently have several locations throughout Southern California. Revenue comes primarily from general admission and group events (birthdays, clubs, summer camps, etc.).
$1mm Down-Seller open to large amount of seller financing and/or earn out. **All Vending only accepts cash-NO CC
This child's entertainment center is popular for good reason: it is a child’s playground dream come true. Each location offers all the bells and whistles for children of all ages, and more.. The business does not serve food, other than snacks and beverages from the vending machine. For parties and events, customers are allowed (coordinated in advance) to bring in outside food to be eaten inside the party rooms. For families looking to keep their kids off their iPads and safely entertained for hours, this business is the place to be!
Each location is based in a well established mall, which provides regular foot traffic (a.k.a. exposure to new families) and a nearby food court, so families can take a break, eat, then return for hours of more fun. The business is operated by 60+ employees, across all locations. Each store has a trained team including managers to handle the day-to-day operations, shift leads, and cleaning crews. The owners are semi-absentee, performing administrative tasks and financial management. The results speak for themselves: 20 years in operation with $800k+/year in cash flow.
The owners started this child-focused business when their own children were young. However, the kids have grown up and flown the coop, so they’re looking to transition to a more mobile lifestyle. Therefore, it’s time to sell their beloved business. This is an amazing opportunity for a successor to step in and grow, grow, grow. Current owners do zero advertising: start a social media presence, signup for Google Ads, or perform outreach to schools, childcare centers, and extracurricular organizations. For the truly ambitious, this is the perfect opportunity to build a national franchise.
This business ticks all of the boxes our buyers ask for: highly profitable, streamlined operations, and has potential to scale. Interested? Questions? Reach out to the Agent today: qualified buyers will be considered.
