$88K Adj. EBITDA | Boutique Indoor Children's Play & Party Venue

Lower Mainland, CAN
Listed 59 days ago
Established 2023

A boutique, low-sensory indoor children's play centre serving families with children aged 0-8, located in a high-growth, family-oriented community in Canada. The business differentiates itself from traditional high-volume indoor playgrounds through a curated, calm environment designed to foster creativity, social development, and parent-child interaction. The Company operates under a structured time-slot booking model, running four daily two-hour sessions each capped at approximately 12 children to maintain a comfortable, controlled experience. Revenue is generated through three main streams: drop-in play sessions (approximately 40% of revenue), private birthday parties (approximately 60% of revenue, the highest-margin segment), and limited facility rentals and light café offerings. Weekend sessions and birthday parties are consistently fully booked, while weekday capacity remains underutilized — presenting a clear runway for growth. The business has built a loyal local following, including over 10,000 family visits since opening, roughly 1,000 email subscribers, and approximately 200 families enrolled in a loyalty punch-pass program. It maintains an outstanding online reputation, driven by consistent, high-quality customer experience. Bookings and payments are managed through established third-party systems (online scheduling plus integrated payment processing), and day-to-day operations are led by a part-time manager and a small part-time front-desk team — requiring only approximately 5 hours per week of owner oversight. The business does not operate as a licensed childcare facility, keeping regulatory requirements light. Average revenue across the two most recent fiscal years is approximately $335,000, with average Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $88,000 and average Seller's Discretionary Earnings of approximately $117,000. The asking price of $289,000 includes inventory, equipment, and leasehold improvements. Growth opportunities include increasing weekday utilization, expanding birthday party packages and add-ons, introducing retail products aligned with the brand, launching structured programming such as classes or camps, and increasing marketing investment to build on an already engaged social media following. This is a well-suited opportunity for an owner-operator or a passive investor seeking a community-focused, experiential business with a proven concept, a hands-off operating structure, and clear paths to increased profitability.

Real Estate Information

The facility includes a dedicated main play area with custom-designed play structures, a separate party room, and supporting operational space, all built out with purpose-built, commercial-grade equipment. Capital investment in custom play structures, leasehold improvements, and furniture & fixtures totals more than $370,000. The space is leased under a multi-year agreement with approximately three years remaining (subject to confirmation), at monthly occupancy costs of approximately $6,400. The landlord relationship is reported to be positive, and the lease is expected to be transferable to a qualified buyer, subject to landlord approval. Assets are in good condition and require no immediate additional capital expenditure.

Reason for Selling

The current owners are pursuing new opportunities, including an international relocation for one of the two co-owners. The business has matured into a stable, largely passive operation under a part-time manager, and the owners are ready to hand it off to a new operator for its next phase of growth.
