We Offer Things That the Other Guys Don’t

Multiple Revenue Opportunities

Attractions-based pricing:

Some guests simply want to play mini golf, while others may want to enjoy all we have to offer, and there are those who are somewhere in the middle. That’s why we offer three level of admissions:
Single Attractions – pay individually for the Attractions you want to participate in.
Attractions Combinations – pair several Attractions together for savings and mor fun.
Seasonal Passes – purchase a multi-month pass for repeat visits.

A variety of events

Children’s Birthday Parties
Group/Company Events
School Field Trips and Fundraisers

Training and Support is First

After being in the industry for 17+ years, we still see ourselves as a Training and Support company, not a franchise sales company. Our franchisee’s success comes first, and if we do that well… store growth is a byproduct. Our franchisees get much more marketing and operational support than owners of comparable units, as we use the resources needed and take the time necessary to set you up for success. Our training is unparalleled in the industry.

If guests remember the people who served them more than the physical facility, they will return often and shout praises from the rooftops. We stay ten steps ahead of the competition by being great with humans of all ages and doing our brand of mini golf REALLY WELL!

To ensure that you can obtain the necessary financing that you will need to move forward, we require that you have a minimum of $200,000 liquid assets (cash and marketable securities) and $750,000 net worth. This requirement may be higher if construction costs are higher than normal in certain areas, or if a candidate wants to sign up for more than one franchise location.

Your initial Franchise Fee will be $40,000, which covers your franchise fees for your first store. Should you purchase more protected territories, each additional Franchise Fee will be $20,000.

Currently, the cost of building out a single store, including the franchise fee and working capital, ranges between $700,000 – $1,000,000 for first store. A full breakdown of the cost is provided in Item 7 of our Franchise Disclosure Document. The bulk of that cost can usually be financed, but lenders will generally require a cash injection of 15% – 25%. Franchisees will need to meet lenders’ qualifications for financing.

No, we don’t offer first party financing, but we do work with several preferred lenders who are very comfortable with the Monster Mini Golf® model that we can refer you to.

Yes, you will be granted a protected area around your designated, approved location where no other Monster Mini Golf® franchises will be placed. The protected area will be specific to your location, based on population, distances and drive times to existing locations. These protected areas will each be designed and granted on an individual basis, based on the specifics of the geographic area each individual franchisee is granted. We feel that placing a set equation on a country-wide level is not beneficial to all Franchise locations and should be handled accordingly in the best interest of the Franchisee and the demographics of the territory of interest.

After signing, franchise owners begin an Orientation process that introduces them to the Monster Mini Golf® system and various aspects of the business that they need to understand to be successful. Topics include basic lessons on:

Culture
Business foundations
Real estate
Marketing
Management and Team Member recruiting
Mini Golf Operations standards
Additional Attraction Operations standards
Training and Team development

Franchise owners are educated and gain experience on Monster Mini Golf® Operations during a 5 – 7 day Formal Training Program held at our Training Center, as well as within their own location, as we are onsite for your first 3 – 5 days of operations before and during Grand Opening. Brand and operations education continues long after Grand Opening through follow-up and internal communication, Regional Training Events, annual National Conference, etc.

A typical location ranges between 9,000 and 17,000 square feet and depends solely on the attractions and revenue model which you wish to develop.

From execution of your lease and obtaining keys to your building we estimate approximately 90 – 120 days to open.
