Agreed. Was gonna say trampoline park.
Forget that.
Subdivide and sell off/rent off before child amusement park.
I want nothing to do with food or entertainment in a space that big, unless I can put a casino in it.

Man, these trampoline parks are popping up all over Houston, and I just can't figure out where the majority of the expenses are. $20-$30/hour/jumper for revenue during "free play" + birthday parties every weekend.
Initial outlay for equipment would be significant. But where is the running overhead? Assume there is only a snack bar and drinks, not real food.
Employees and labor
General supplies
Rent and utilities
Liability insurance (probably very expensive)
Maybe advertising?
On the weekends, these places are booking 3-4 birthday parties every 2 hours for $300-$500 depending on the number of kids.
Any entertainment venue dealing with kids and parents is a giant pain in the arse, granted. But am I missing some expenses somewhere? Other than self storage, what would have less overhead?
