Sun Acquisitions Has Been Engaged to Sell a Chicago Area Family Fun Center
Chicago, IL, January 30, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Sean Lawlor, Senior Broker at Sun Acquisitions has been engaged to sell a Chicago Family Fun Center and expects to receive strong demand in this seller’s market.
Sun Acquisitions (www.sunacquisitions.com) announced today that Sean Lawlor, has been engaged to sell a family entertainment center in the North West Suburbs of Chicago. The business is a retail service establishment that has been established for over 15 years. Sun Acquisitions will manage this entire engagement including buyer sourcing, negotiating deal structures, and closing coordination to ensure a successful transaction is completed. Engaging an intermediary in the sale of a business assures business owners that they will get the best pricing and terms, the transaction will remain confidential, and give the business owner the freedom to concentrate on his business – all of which is critical according to this scientific study (M&A Advisors Proven to Improve Values).
The Family Fun Centers (FFCs) Industry generated approximately $9B in 2014 which is forecasting almost 3% growth each year to 2019. As per capita disposal has risen during the last 2 years revenue growth tapered down which was a result of families choosing more expensive Family Entertainment Centers (FECs) such as amusement parks instead of local specialized FFC options. As the jobless rate declines and consumers become leisure-time restricted they will choose local specialized FFCs. Additionally, the prevalence of Americans aged under 18 will increase to 25% of the population by this year and will continue to grow almost 1% for years to come.
This Company has maintained a successful Family Fun Center for almost 20 years. Throughout the years investments have been made to upgrade facilities and technology when appropriate. The business is Family owned and operated by the second generation. The business has enabled two generations of owners to maintain a comfortable lifestyle and retire well.
