Slick City

Slick City

Slick City franchises operate indoor action parks featuring dry slides, soft play areas, air courts, multiple other attractions, and a city café, catering to walk-in enthusiasts and special events. The business model allows franchisees to develop and operate these parks under the Slick City brand, with total initial investments ranging from $1.9 million to $4.9 million, including multi-unit development options. They target families with young children seeking entertainment and physical activity in a competitive market against other entertainment venues.

Financial Performance


Item 19 Financial Performance

Data Based On: 13 Measurement Parks (2 franchised, 7 affiliate-owned, 4 corporate-owned) open for 12 consecutive months between March 1, 2025 and February 28, 2026. Data on first full month, three months, and six months of operation for varying mixed samples of 26, 25, and 18 parks also provided.

* The financial performance data presented in the 'Summary Income Statements' table (pages 2-3) and the 'Average and Median Unit Volume' section (page 7) are based on a mixed sample of 13 Measurement Parks. This sample includes 2 franchisee-owned, 7 affiliate-owned, and 4 corporate-owned parks. The 'First Full Month', 'First Full 3 Months', and 'First Full Six Months' sales data are also based on mixed samples (26, 25, and 18 parks respectively), including corporate, affiliate, and franchisee-owned units. According to the provided instructions, 'Extract ONLY individual franchise unit performance data' and 'IGNORE company-owned units UNLESS no franchise data exists'. Since the financial metrics are presented as averages/medians across this mixed group of parks and not exclusively for franchised units, I cannot extract specific average/median values for franchised units only. Therefore, all average/median revenue and profit-related fields are set to null.
