Why don't y'all do something cool instead? If I had access to 1.7 million, I sure as shite wouldn't be doing a Chuck E Cheese. As a matter of fact, if you open one, I will find you on opening day and kick you square in the nuts.

You sound pretty ignorant. The first chance your partners get, they will drop you like a hot tator. You bout to get fuuuuuuuucked.

You can forget this. Part of the franchise license means you decorate and follow policy and procedures

Have you ever been in a Baton Rouge Chuck E. Cheese?
You better hire BRPD officers to sit at your store all day because your clientele will not be what you want.

First thing is find out why the existing local franchisee is not wanting build one in this area. If it was a good location 9 out of 10 the local franchisee would have opened one up. Huge red flag.
I would look at demographics of an area.
Where is the growth of enrollment in kids in elementary public & private school grades k-5th grade? Hint not in Mid City or Southdowns.
Is there enough young families moving into the area to replace the kids that will eventually outgrow your business?
I would think you would get more middle class families with a high level of new customers in the Denham Springs/ Walker/ Watson area or Ascension Parish area with plenty of future growth versus inside Mid Ciity or Southdowns. I would look at property close of I-12 or on range between DS & Liveoak in Livingston Parish or off Airline Hwy in North East Ascension Parish.
Southdowns and Mid City you are very limited on the replacement of young families compared to the suburbs, people from outside the area with kids do not want to travel into BR traffic in mid city or Southdowns especially on a Sat LSU home game day, and you will attract the clientele that will run off the middle class. Guess what during the fall LSU game season on Sat your peak time you need those kids in your place. You still have to pay rent, insurance, employees, higher taxes in EBRP, City Cats tax is passed on in rent, lights, and other reoccurring cost on LSU game days.
If you want to start a hipster bar or restaurant that caters to young professionals Mid City and Southdowns is a great area. A business that targets young kids unless you want to deal with culture, no way.

You are basically their company store, running to their standards, using their approved vendors which they get the kick backs not you, and the only thing that is yours is you are risking your capital,
Example.
I own four orgill hardware stores. I chose them over Ace or true value due to I have control over my operations. I have control over my signage, advertising, and can go around then to buy direct on certain items. What I like the best is I decide what goes on sale in the ads. If I am in a snow market I do not put mowers on sale at a loss during the Labor Day sale. I can put snowblowers that I make a lot more profit on, plus I sell more high margin accessories with it.
Plus, I can use outside financing to sell high ticket items or services and not have to push a Ace or true value credit card at a 19% or higher interest rate.
True Value or Ace. I would have to have a certain look, certain signage, adhere to ads that were for my region even if the items on sale were dogs for my market. Same Labor Day ad I would have to bring in mowers to cover the ad at a loss in a snow market.
They do not put leaf blowers, rakes, leaf bags, chipper shredders, leaf vacuums, electric cords, safety glasses, gloves, game day bbq pits, folding lawn chairs, etc. That things a hardware store in a fall market should have in their Labor Day ad.

quote:Yeah I bet. Again, I bet there are hidden requirements to get that starting pay. They aren't paying the cashier teen chick that much, no matter how good she looks. Also, I know that they would only schedule a select few as full time workers, so if they do get $13, are they going to be able to get 40 hours (or fulltime?)?
"hiring: starting pay $13.
Plus you the retard fig, as I don't give a frick about Target.

Chuck E Chedda may be a better option in the Baton Rouge market.

You should check in to buying the rights to Showbiz Pizza from them then restart that up in Baton Rouge.

You have to put that in the trash part of town
Traditionally yes but after visiting the Chuck E Cheese in Billings, MT i saw that it can be done the right way and it would be a cash cow.
You either:
A) Suck at market comps, or
B) Rule at trollllllllllllling

BTW, here's the truth on Franchising:
Franchising from the Franchisee standpoint: "Frickin A! I'm gon be a big business owner!!"
Franchising from the Franchisor standpoint: "Frickin A! We found another tool to put up half the money, do all the work and give us the bulk of the gains!!"
Franchisor ETA: "Plus grow our real estate business!"
