The Indoor Amusement Sector is Growing

Indoor entertainment centers like Ground Zero are experiencing significant growth, with families increasingly opting for indoor venues that offer a diverse range of activities.

As an established brand with a proven model, Ground Zero offers a unique opportunity to capitalize on this growing demand.

Ground Zero locations are ideal for various events, from casual visits to family fun on a slow weekend to large planned gatherings such as birthday parties. With state-of-the-art Tactical Laser Tag, Shuriken throwing, arcades, and Virtual Reality experiences, our locations are equipped to offer a wide range of fun and memorable activities for every type of event.

What experience do I need to own a Ground Zero Location?

We do not require you to have prior experience in the family entertainment industry; we can teach you what you need to know to run your Ground Zero business. We are primarily seeking single-unit, start-up location owners who will be hands-on operators, and who can learn the Ground Zero system and develop a strong operations team within their franchised business. Also, we have a program option for existing Laser Tag or family entertainment businesses that wish to convert to the Ground Zero system; financial incentives are available for conversion licenees. Above all, we expect location owners or their operating partners to have great sales, customer relations, and supervisory skills; solid business management experience; and a strong and honest work ethic.

As with any new business venture, it’s important that you have the capital needed to adequately fund your new business. We look for candidates with minimum liquidity of about $150,000++. The more you put in, the larger the return. Our existing location in Elon, NC would cost approx $200,000 to duplicate. This location can also be purchased for $200,000 as we transition to the corporate side. We have done all the labor and testing changing the plan hundreds of times and re-investing to find the right formula. it's turn key and ready to go!
