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.
