In this episode of Acquisitions Anonymous, the hosts were joined by Connor Groce to break down a listing for a $4.85M trampoline park franchise in Texas.
They discuss the business’s cash flow, the real meaning of a "turnaround", lease and staffing dynamics, and whether this is a buy or build situation. With his multi-unit franchising experience, Connor shares valuable insight into the youth enrichment space, the dangers of basis bias, and how to evaluate recurring versus one-time revenue. Plus, they debate what kind of buyer this high-capex, high-weekend-traffic business would be the right fit for.
Key Highlights:
- A trampoline park in Texas with $770K in cash flow and 37 employees.
- What “turnaround” really means (and why it may raise red flags).
- The role of franchise dynamics, especially “basis bias” in pricing.
- Youth enrichment sector trends—how leasing and switching costs affect operations.
- Buy vs. build decisions and how recurring membership revenue changes the game.
- Lending and SBA financing implications based on revenue quality and lease structure.
- Why multi-unit franchisees might pass on this listing and what that could mean.
