Recession creates rare opportunity for start-ups

The recession has created a rare opportunity for start-up location-based and family entertainment centers. Shopping center landlords have many store vacancies and are no longer picky like in the past about only renting to credit worthy tenants. They are also looking for entertainment anchors (see our latest white paper (www.whitehutchinson.com/ leisure/ articles/ downloads/ ReinventingShoppingCntr.shtml) ). Today they are making attractive lease deals with start-up entertainment venue entrepreneurs. And money can be found. Today, you can’t borrow as much, but investors are out there with money they are looking to invest. 

Known as the Gold Standard for education in the location-based industry, Foundations Entertainment University (www.foundationsuniversity.com/ ) offers start-up entrepreneurs and expanding centers the knowledge they need to plan for long-term success. Now in its seventh year, Foundations has been responsible for the launch of many successful entertainment businesses.

There is no better time than now to plan your center and fine-tune your business plan at Foundations Entertainment University. Click here to learn more (www.foundationsuniversity.com/ ) :
