Operate your Fixed Dealership Indoors or Outdoors
Advantages of GellyBall Indoor Facilities
Location and climate can have a major impact on outdoor entertainment businesses. Unpredictable weather alone can quickly derail an entire weekend of bookings. For example, a mobile laser tag business facing an incoming storm may lose all of its expected revenue with little to no notice.
Beyond sudden weather events, temperature extremes also pose a serious challenge. In Southern Ontario, summer temperatures can exceed +40°C, while Winnipeg winters can be dangerously cold. Neither extreme is ideal or reliable for outdoor operations.
A 2018 study found that up to 28% of weekend days designated for outdoor activities experienced weather disruptions, resulting in significant revenue loss for businesses.
Many customers simply don’t have access to suitable outdoor space. While mobile businesses can serve homes with large yards, nearby parks, or wooded areas, not everyone has the room or the desire to host a group of energetic kids running through their property. These customers naturally gravitate toward a dedicated facility for their celebrations.
An indoor GellyBall facility also enhances the overall experience. Controlled lighting, themed props, fog machines, and immersive setups create an atmosphere that simply isn’t possible in a backyard or public space.
With the ability to deliver a consistent, high-energy experience 24/7, 365 days a year, indoor facilities offer a level of reliability and revenue stability that mobile operations can’t always match.
Larger Games, Higher Revenue
Facilities Unlock Additional Revenue Streams
Depending on the size and layout of your facility, you can introduce complementary offerings that create new revenue opportunities. These may include passive income options, such as arcade games either rented for a profit share or owned outright for full returns.
Facilities with additional space may also expand into other attractions, such as axe throwing, Nerf-style games, or additional themed activity rooms, further increasing booking potential.
Food and beverage partnerships can add another layer of income. Whether through an in-house kitchen or a collaboration with a local pizza provider, facilities can generate additional revenue by offering food as part of the overall experience.
