Having Fun Owning a Franchise for Children

Whether you have a background in childhood education or just love helping kids and their families learn and grow, a franchise for children could be your next business opportunity. With so many franchises available from mobile entertainment to play places, there is sure to be a franchise business where you can have fun and make money.

People who genuinely have fun going to work are fulfilled, and happier with their careers. Consider owning a children’s franchise that provides entertainment for children. Some
franchises are geared toward specific ages, such as toddlers and preschoolers, while others target elementary age children or middle schoolers.

One exciting children’s franchise opportunity is in indoor play places. These franchises have the benefit of being open year-round in locations with all types of climates. The indoor facilities range in size, but generally provide large, open floor plans with various jungle gym equipment, bounce houses, and other sports related equipment. Indoor play places also have great ways to market fun activities. Generate regular income by offering birthday parties year-round. Encourage more business during off-peak hours by offering discounted play for preschool kids. Make it even more fun with afterschool and camp programs with exciting themes.

Another popular franchise for children is mobile video gaming services. These services are popular with schools, fairs, and parents hosting birthday parties. Mobile video gaming services are usually rented out by the hour, and are self-contained vans with couches and gaming stations. Mobile gaming is fun for kids and fun to operate too. This business can be done on evenings and weekends for supplemental income. There is extremely low overhead because you are not required to lease office space and employ onsite staff.

42 million kids play sports each year in the U.S. Sports franchises are also growing, and can be extreme fun for kids and franchise owners. Choose a sport you are passionate about and there is likely to be a franchise to support that sport. Some franchises offer multiple sports in one. Find a franchise that offers training for franchisees, along with exclusive rights to operate sports in certain geographic areas. Earn multiple streams of income through entry fees, marketing merchandise and selling concessions at events.

Don’t forget about mobile food franchises for kids. These can be fun and also have low overhead. Don’t struggle to market when there are many local activities, festivals and fairs to set up your mobile food franchise. Supplement major events with specific neighborhood and park routes during summer days. Even more fun is mobile food franchises that are seasonal, giving you time during the school year to pursue other interests.

Owning a franchise for children can be rewarding and fun. Entertainment based businesses have the advantage of flexibility. Indoor play places offer climate controlled year-round fun, while mobile video gaming services entertain with a low amount of overhead. Start a sports franchise and have fun teaching your favorite sport to kids, while watching them grow in confidence. Operate a mobile food franchise focused on food for kids, and you’ll have a seasonal business that works around your schedule.
