Unleash the Games: Pandora’s Box Arcade Machine

As a professional manufacturer, MARWEY confirms that the investment ranges from a minimum of $50,000 (for a very small space/structure) to well over $3,000,000 for a large, full-service Family Entertainment Center. Your primary initial cost will be the facility build-out and the acquisition of the commercial-grade play equipment.

See the answer to question #19. The cost to open is defined by real estate, renovations, and equipment. To get the most accurate estimate for your core attraction, request a custom design and quote from MARWEY, factoring in installation, shipping, and all associated costs.

MARWEY photo booths can be used in two main categories: Permanent Installations (Passive Income) and Event Rentals (High-Rate Income).

 

1. Permanent Installations (For Passive Revenue):

 

Our self-service kiosks and enclosed models thrive in high-traffic commercial spaces for year-round income:

• Entertainment Venues: Arcades, Movie Theatres, Bowling Alleys, and Family Entertainment Centers (FECs).

• Retail & Hospitality: Shopping Malls, Hotels (especially in the lobby or near the bar), and high-volume Restaurants or Cafes.

• Unique Placements: College Campuses, Tourist Attractions, and Airports.

 

2. Event Rentals (For Engagement & Branding):

 

Our innovative, open-air models are perfect for short-term, premium rental events:

• Weddings and Social Events: The Mirror Photo Booth or 360 Photo Booth Machine serve as central, interactive entertainment at weddings, birthdays, and anniversaries.

• Corporate Events & Marketing: AI Photo Booth Machines are excellent for product launches, trade shows, and brand activations, using AI features to drive social media sharing and capture lead data.

• Special Occasions: Music Festivals, Galas, Proms, and Holiday Parties.
•  

The key to success with your MARWEY machine is placing the right technology in the right location. For unattended, daily income, choose an enclosed, durable model. For premium, high-fee rentals, use a technology-forward option like our AI or 360 booths.

The money required to start a trampoline park is substantial and highly variable. The total initial investment typically ranges from $500,000 up to over $8 million, depending heavily on the business model and size.

 

General Range for Initial Investment

 

• Independent or Smaller Park: $500,000 to $3,000,000

  Large-Scale or Franchise Park (e.g., Urban Air, Altitude): $1,700,000 to over $8,000,000 (This higher figure includes franchise fees, extensive attractions, and substantial leasehold improvements).

 

Breakdown of Major Costs

 

The majority of the startup capital is allocated to three key areas:

• Leasehold Improvements and Build-Out ($500,000 - $1,500,000+): This is often the largest single expense. It covers converting an empty warehouse or retail space (typically 20,000 to 40,000 square feet) to meet safety codes, installing HVAC, electricity, fire suppression systems, flooring, and constructing party rooms.
• Trampoline & Attraction Equipment ($100,000 - $750,000+): Purchasing, shipping, and installing the trampolines, foam pits, ninja courses, climbing walls, and other specialized safety equipment.
• Working Capital & Other Fees: This includes initial security deposits, permits, pre-opening staff salaries, marketing, and the significant cost of liability insurance. (For franchises, the upfront Franchise Fee alone can be $50,000 to $150,000+).
