Site Selection
Site Selection

This simple first step is the most critical element of the long-term profitability and success of your new laser tag location.

Site selection determines your build-out costs; your arena size; the number of laser tag packs you will be required to purchase; the number of parties per hour your facility will handle; and so much more. The information from your site selection process will also be necessary to move your tenant improvement allowances and business plans forward.

The resources in this department will help you select the right location, develop the various associated costs, as well as negotiate a favorable lease.

Selecting the best site is key to bringing in the customers. If you have selected a site, then please share your advice with our memebers on our discussion forum.
