Benefits of Multi-Unit Family Entertainment Franchise Ownership
In the franchise industry, ‘multi-unit operator’ is a powerful title: Multi-unit operators bring operational expertise that benefits the entire network, and franchisors often look favorably on franchisees with proven experience balancing multiple locations.
Since its founding in 2012 as a trampoline park, the Launch Entertainment franchise opportunity has evolved into a full-scale offering for families and groups alike, combining attractions like trampoline courts, arcades, Omniverse VR experiences, rock climbing, bowling, and ax-throwing, all under one roof. This “something-for-everyone” approach creates a destination where families can spend quality time together while grabbing a bite at the in-house Krave restaurant and bar, playing a few games, or throwing a party.
It’s our relentless focus on the full family experience that sets Launch apart from competing family entertainment franchises. Unlike concepts that lean heavily toward either kids or adults, Launch strikes the perfect balance: kids enjoy a safe, fun environment while adults have a chance to unwind, socialize, or join in on the fun themselves! Multiple revenue streams, even including QSR eatertainment value, set the stage for franchise owners to attract a wide customer base across multiple locations.
Why Multi-Unit Development Benefits Franchisees and Franchisors Alike
Multi-unit ownership with Launch has advantages for all parties. Managing marketing and operational strategies becomes far simpler when dealing with a smaller number of committed owners. With 100 locations spread across 20 operators, for example, Launch can streamline communications, roll out programs faster, and ensure more consistent guest experiences. Fewer franchisees mean quicker market implementation — a benefit for everyone!
Multi-unit development also brings predictability. Agreed-upon development schedules help Launch plan its growth more accurately, enabling smarter expansion. While many brands rush to expand, Launch carefully evaluates each potential owner to ensure alignment with its values and long-term vision.
We often leverage second-generation real estate to scale efficiently. By adapting existing spaces, Launch can minimize build-out time and bring full family entertainment to prime locations faster than if we built from scratch. This allows for faster expansion, helping franchisees tap into prime retail sites without long delays.
What Launch Looks for in a Multi-Unit Partner
Launch seeks multi-unit operators who bring more than just capital to the table. Financial stability is essential, but so are operational expertise, strong leadership skills, and a clear vision for growth. We’ve built a compelling family entertainment franchise model that stands on its own merits, and franchisees are drawn to Launch’s solid reputation, supportive leadership, and high growth potential.
You don’t need a background in family entertainment to franchise with Launch — our operators come from QSR, fitness, and childcare franchises, bringing their expertise to help expand our nationwide reach.
When evaluating candidates, Launch considers both parties’ history and values alignment. Franchisees undergo a rigorous interview process to gauge their experience managing teams, building company culture, and planning for growth. We’re particularly interested in candidates with a clear strategy for expanding their portfolio while balancing current responsibilities. Ready to Launch?
