Sandbox VR

The 2025 FDD's Item 7 details a hefty initial investment range of $250,719 to $1,875,464, driven by custom Holodeck builds, full-body tracking gear, and site fit-outs under strict standards. Upfront franchise fee hits $50,000, followed by 5% royalties (or minimum $1,000 per Holodeck), 1% brand/ad fund, and $583 monthly platform fees for reservations and marketing tech. Item 19 delivers standout financials: average and median gross revenues both clock in at $2,088,378 per location, signaling strong top-line performance even in a competitive immersive gaming space—enough to potentially justify the six-figure buildout if expenses align.

System growth shows promise amid caution flags: franchising since 2019 with just 3 franchise units versus 33 corporate locations, yet projecting 13 new units. Eight SBA loans averaging $1,177,125 reflect lender confidence for funding these tech-heavy ventures, though parent GloStation USA, Inc. carries a bankruptcy history, and litigation notes reveal settled disputes over terminations, fee nonpayment, and contract breaches. High revenues tempt multi-unit deals, but buyers must weigh corporate dominance in key markets against operational intensity and fee stacks—numbers suggest viability for experienced operators chasing VR's boom.
