    Not feeling the 'goldmine' in this. Setup and running costs are going to sting and lots of uncertainty about turnover. I reckon the food and drink will provide most of the profit with the kids covering the costs + setup loan payments if you are lucky - bit like a petrol station, all the profit is pasties ! Competition from pubs using them as loss leaders + councils starting to chuck them in next to pools etc Plus - the park is free and any spend is discretionary.
    Nurseries is different, big, growing and steady demand for these as parents both have to work. Expensive to setup and run but these are a good earner I reckon.
    Not worth the grief in either case for me.....
    Nurseries and old peoples homes.

        Well, I stopped when I focussed on making a million quid in the US. Now I've done that, the tat is back baby.

          I'm fairly convinced that each soft play is pretty much a 'standalone' business and that there aren't any well known franchises in the UK?

          Anyone use them?
          Doesn't your restraining order cover those sort of places?

              My offer for Blockbuster video has been accepted and you are looking at the new CEO. I'm glad my offer for SpudULike was rejected though. They've had their time.

                    Its not a restraining order, he just likes to be restrained.
                    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

                      Only in his dreams sadly. Although it has to be said, that restraining order was the best 50 sovs I ever spent.
