Why should kids have all the fun at the local family entertainment center (FEC)? We believe a FEC franchise should provide an exciting and engaging atmosphere for guests of all ages. FECs are typically thought of as being primarily for children, and this rings true for most FEC brands. However, Mr Gatti’s Pizza has created a franchise opportunity that stands out from the rest in the FEC market.
Mr Gatti’s’ business model was meticulously developed over 50 years to avoid many of the franchising challenges other FEC brands commonly face. Mr Gatti’s FECs are designed to appeal to community members of all ages, rather than just young children. We do this by offering a wide variety of games and activities to attract a broader demographic to our facility. Mr Gatti’s Pizza is also renowned for our delicious menu, full of mouth-watering pizzas, sides, and sauces that appeal to adults and children.
Mr Gatti’s remains a popular gathering place for community members in our current territories. Many guests who have visited one of our franchise locations in the past are delighted when one of our FEC franchises opens near them. These nostalgic customers often bring family, friends, coworkers, and neighbors to our locations so they can re-experience and share the fun with others.
Entertainment centers have long been a preferred option for groups seeking a casual yet enjoyable location to gather. Recent reports indicate that FECs are likely to remain popular both for investors and visitors for the foreseeable future. Allied Market Research has forecasted that the North American FEC market is expected to garner $29.15B by 2032.
While FECs remain popular among consumers, some brands struggle to overcome certain industry challenges. These can limit their appeal to broader audiences, which in turn affects business performance. A few examples of the challenges that FECs commonly experience include the following:
Most people who visit a FEC plan to spend multiple hours at the facility, and they will often want to order food during their visit. Unfortunately, visitors can find themselves disappointed in the food options at certain entertainment centers whose main focus is entertainment, leaving the food to be rather plain and forgettable in comparison. Those who can provide meals that are on par with or better than restaurant quality can quickly become the preferred FEC destination for consumers who also want a great meal during their fun outing.
Perhaps the most common misconception about FECs is that they are exclusively meant for children. While the kids have fun, parents, guardians, and other adults don’t have much opportunity to do anything other than supervise. FECs that offer games that are engaging and worthwhile for older visitors will find it easier to expand their customer base.
FECs that primarily focus on providing recreation for younger audiences don’t have much reason to expand their footprint outside of the children’s play areas. Those that only focus on children’s activities risk losing the ability to host other gatherings and events that could generate revenue for the business. FECs with ample room to welcome large groups can experience a boost to their bottom line while earning a reputation as a great party destination.
Mr Gatti’s’ franchise model allows our investors to be part of a FEC experience that is unlike any other. Our pizza has been a hit with local consumers for decades, thanks to its authentic flavor and quality that keeps customers coming back for more.
Some franchisees have capitalized on the high demand for our food by opening delivery and carryout-only (DELCO) locations. These locations focus solely on serving the food that customers have come to love and offer tremendous potential to those who invest in them.
Mr Gatti’s sizeable game and party rooms also increase the number of community members interested in visiting our FECs. We select age-appropriate games that appeal to more than just young children, which fosters a more engaging environment at our franchises. Each Mr Gatti’s FEC is also large enough to fit multiple party rooms, where groups can celebrate special occasions together.
Mr Gatti’s unique combination of pizza, games, and parties truly makes our franchise opportunity stand out from many other competitors in the FEC industry.
