“broker ↗” opens the listing on the broker’s own website. DealLedger never stands between you and the seller’s broker.

— BUYER NOTES

What sets the price of an entertainment business

Family entertainment centers, arcades, trampoline parks, bowling alleys and similar businesses are capital-heavy and location-bound, so the lease and the equipment shape the price as much as the earnings do.

Revenue is seasonal and event-driven. Birthday parties, group bookings and memberships smooth it out; a business that lives on walk-in weekend traffic is riskier and priced that way.

Equipment and attractions wear out and go out of fashion. Buyers model the cost of refreshing them in the first few years, so the age and condition of the attractions come straight off the price.

— BUYER NOTES

What to check before you make an offer

The lease: remaining term, options, rent as a share of revenue, and the landlord’s willingness to assign it.

Revenue by month and by stream (admissions, parties, food and beverage, games), so you can see seasonality and margin.

An equipment list with ages and maintenance records, plus insurance history and any required inspections for rides or attractions.

— QUESTIONS

Common questions

How are entertainment businesses valued?

Usually as a multiple of seller’s discretionary earnings or EBITDA, adjusted for lease term and the capital needed to keep attractions current. The median figures at the top of this page are calculated from the listings shown below.

Is a family entertainment center a good business to buy?

It can be, but it is closer to running a venue than a service business: high fixed costs, seasonal swings and ongoing capital spending. The strongest ones have party and group revenue that keeps weekdays busy.

Where do these listings come from?

Directly from business broker websites. DealLedger records when each listing first appears and when it comes down, so days on market reflect what we have actually observed, and every listing links straight to the broker.

— HOW THIS PAGE IS BUILT

DealLedger reads the public listings pages of business brokers directly and records when each listing first appears and when it comes down. Days on market count from the first day we saw the listing; “by” means the listing was already up when we started reading that broker’s site, so it has been listed at least that long. Price ÷ cash flow is the asking price divided by the seller’s stated cash flow (SDE), where both are published. All data is public domain (CC0). Full methodology.
