Description
Our client is one of the world’s oldest and most recognized escape room brands, known for its extensive network of escape rooms and entertainment centers. The company has strategically partnered with the biggest escape room product and prop manufacturer of the world and three (3) of the top 10 escape room brands to acquire and merge these operators, forming a global escape room chain with 120 franchise locations and 30 corporate units across 4 continents, attracting over 2 million customers annually.
This transaction would establish our client and it’s affiliates as the world’s largest escape room operator by most metrics, providing immediate market leadership in a $7.9 billion industry projected to grow to $31 billion by 2032, with a CAGR of 14.8% from 2023 to 2032. The chain is positioned to achieve annual organic unit growth of 10-15%, while the combined EBITDA post-merger is projected to increase by 10% through shared marketing activities and overhead cost synergies. With robust adj. EBITDA of $8M+ with $90M+ systemwide revenue and a favorable economic environment, this deal offers a compelling entry point for financial buyers to establish a dominant presence in a high-growth, future-proof industry. The financials are based on the past 12-18 months of actual franchise and corporate store performance, factoring in unit count, average sales volumes, profit margins, royalty income, and overhead, excluding ongoing CAPEX and marketing for new store openings and expansion.
The escape room industry has proven to be highly resilient, rebounding strongly post-COVID and demonstrating immunity to AI disruption due to its reliance on human interaction, physical environments, and creative, interactive and educative storytelling—elements AI cannot easily replicate. The sector’s strong unit economics, generating one of the highest revenues per square foot in the leisure industry, combined with growing demand and a proven franchise model, makes it an attractive investment in a rapidly expanding market.
This is a unique opportunity for a Buyer to gain access to a global customer base spanning four continents, benefiting from cross-selling potential and an experienced management team prepared to execute a detailed expansion/merger plan.

Let's be honest, typically it takes a while (6 months to a year) to sell a business, from listing to close of escrow, and so it's common that many sellers are anxious as the close of escrow nears with a buyer. Joe Ranieri (Business Broker) examines common seller mistakes owners should stay clear of.
First, we must define, who are the Millennials? The exact years are up for debate, but Millennials were born during approximately between 1981-1986, which today would be between 22 and 37 years of age. Joe Ranieri looks at what these buyers are looking for and what qualities they seek in businesses.
Lee Petsas, a Southern California business broker explores: How much consideration should I give as deposit? Are Deposits refundable and when? Cashing deposits & opening escrow, Return of deposit to buyer, Why do we take a deposit from buyers when preparing & executing a purchase agreement contract?
Looking to buy a small business? There is good news regarding business purchase financing. More financial institutions are coming back into the market with business purchase financing. After years of being selective many lenders are more open to financing deals they would not have in the past years.
Sometimes business brokers just can't win with their clients, because if an offer comes in too fast & too early then they must have lowballed the price & the seller is suspicious, and if not enough offers come in after putting the business on the market - they may look unproductive to their clients.
