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?

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.....
Cradle to the grave.

Monkey Bizness in Braehead, Glasgow is a really good one - huge. they are in a chain.
And it rains all time, so they are quids in - expensive.
There are plenty of grim ones - e.g Linwood in a disused industrial estate next to a derelict scheme.
I go to ones where adults (with children) are allowed on the frame - they are the most popular.
Wacky, pub/burger joint ones are grrrrim filthy holes.
