Ensure your Family Entertainment Center (FEC) is a Profitable Business

Family Entertainment Centers can be very profitable when designed and operated well. However, poorly conceived or operated FECs will under-perform and sometimes fail completely.

If you’re looking to grow into one of the success stories of our industry, Pinnacle Entertainment Group is ready to lend our expertise to your project. Our best advice often starts before you hire us to help you make the right decisions—even if that means suggesting alternative approaches or locations for your project to ensure its success.

At Pinnacle Entertainment Group, we leverage decades of operations experience for our own accounts, client accounts, and as part of a corporate team to produce outstanding, profitable Family Entertainment Centers, including as part of famous brands like Dave & Busters, Time Out, and others.

We typically help our clients in one of two broad categories: creating a new facility or optimizing an existing facility or chain of facilities.

Your FEC’s Last Dollar is Your Most Profitable Dollar

No matter which type of FEC you create, they all have relatively high upfront costs. However, these businesses also have high-profit margins. Your additional revenues are mostly profit once you have paid for your real estate, equipment, and financing. There are two primary keys to driving this incremental revenue and high profits:

Introducing Change Over Time

Buying new equipment is an expensive way to introduce change. Instead of constantly upgrading your attractions, consider tapping into themes and cultural moments. Holidays, seasonal events, and pop culture events like the Super Bowl or movie releases provide perfect opportunities to update the experience for your guests.

Driving Business Over Multiple Days

Most FEC businesses run at full capacity Friday through Sunday. The key to success is to drive guests into the facility during the rest of the week. The ability to cater to leagues, happy hours, and corporate events during weekdays, as well as other ways to drive sales during off-peak hours, are how FECs become the most profitable.
