Ninja Nation Franchise Cost and Requirements for 2024

Background

First to market - Ninja Nation is the first world-class Ninja and obstacle experience to feature fitness gamification, through our achievement-based NextLevel system. In addition, Ninja Nation is a multifaceted service line revenue business offering birthday parties, classes, open gym, field trips, corporate events, competitions and off-premise mobile events.

Booming Youth Sports Market - 60 million children annually participate in U.S. youth athletics. The global youth sports market is forecast to triple in size by 2026, growing from $25 billion today to $77 billion. In the U.S., the youth sports market is nearing $20 billion annually. Combined with the family entertainment center market of $7 billion in the U.S. annually, Ninja Nation serves a booming $32 billion market.

World-class obstacle design and layout - Customized Arena layout, designed by American Ninja Warrior veteran, Geoff Britten. Consistent obstacle innovation and updates, creating an ever-changing environment of obstacles to ensure guest frequency and curiosity while outperforming competitors and eliminating experience stagnation.

Culture - Ninja Nation is a culturally driven business centered around the 3 E's of Engagement, Encouragement and Energy. That culture is felt by all of our team members and every guest that walks through its doors.

Leadership & Training Team - Ninja Nation's leadership and training team has developed a world-class Ninja experience and success roadmap to help franchisees launch their business as well as stay on top of industry trends and adapt to market conditions.

Coaching - Developed by some of the top Ninja athletes in the sport, our coach training for the sport of Ninja is second to none with 3 levels of coaching certification, class training and constant updates to the coaching program. Our extensive coach training will ensure Franchisees can train any coach prospect to be a Ninja Nation coach.

Revenue Streams/Programming - Our combination of programming and schedules give the opportunity to bring in guests during different day parts and occasions from Birthday Parties, Coach lead Classes, Open-Gym, Mobile Obstacle Course, Ninja Care, Summer Camps and Special Events. This set of programming results in a diverse number of elastic and recurring revenue streams.

NextLevel Wristband - Gamification points system for achievements to help kids level up their skills through physical challenges. Points can be redeemed for Ninja Nation prizes in each Arena

Brand - The Ninja Nation brand was developed from day one with an international brand appeal, from logos to colors, brand guide and brand standards. Cohesive brand images, videos and design are part of the franchise package.

Safety - The entire arena is built and designed with safety as a top priority. Carpet bonded foam across the entire floor, fully padded and matted area. No large trampolines or foam pits.

Real Estate selection - Data driven approach to real estate selection. We have used Experian consumer profile data to map the entire country to reveal look-a-like audiences and hot-spots of likely Ninja Nation consumers.

Operational Simplicity - Ninja Nation's operational focus is on the guest and the guest experience at each Ninja Nation Arena. We don't have fryers, ovens and cafes like many family entertainment centers. We don't have locker rooms or showers like a traditional gym. We want our team members to be focused on our 3 E's with our guests and not bogged down with an overly complex operation.

When evaluating a franchise opportunity, reading and understanding the current version of their FDD is a necessity. Considering the benefits of franchising, such as established brand recognition and support from the franchisor, it's important to also take into account franchise fees and franchising royalty fees.
