Popular Family Entertainment Centre
Business Overview
An exciting opportunity is now available to acquire a well-established indoor family entertainment centre on the South Coast. Operating since 2016, this 24,000 sq ft venue has developed a strong reputation as a destination for energetic family fun, birthday parties, and group activities, attracting a wide and loyal customer base from the surrounding area. The centre is fitted to a high standard, featuring a vibrant mix of attractions including soft play zones, adventure areas, and high-energy slides—all set within an immersive, themed environment enhanced by professional lighting and sound systems. It offers a compelling experience for visitors of all ages and continues to see strong repeat custom and positive local engagement. Located on a prominent business estate with excellent access, the site benefits from over 200 on-site parking spaces and convenient public transport links. The business operates under an exclusive franchise agreement and is fully staffed by an experienced team, requiring minimal involvement from the current owner. With no direct competitors in the immediate area and a solid operational structure in place, the centre presents clear opportunities for further growth. New ownership could explore expanded marketing activity, partnership development, or additional services to unlock further potential. The property is leased until April 2026 and all operational and financial information is available to qualified buyers.
