I&B Investments is a new limited liability company in Utah. This document provides information about our company, including business structure, goals, projected growth, capital requirements, start-up costs, investment analysis, and industry trends. Our primary interest is the family entertainment industry, and we are focused on developing family entertainment centers (FEC) in the Weber County, Utah area. We aim to provide quality entertainment activities to the community.
Entertainment has become the buzzword of the new millennium. David L. Malmuth, senior VP of TrizenHahn Development Corp. has observed that people want an experience, and successful experiences are based on authenticity, fun, and participation. Americans spend more on entertainment than on health care or clothing.
I&B Investments focuses on quality family entertainment. The initial development phase includes the construction of one FEC. We plan to offer the type of entertainment and adventure that the market demands. Our first proposed site is a ten-acre parcel in Weber County, with a second site planned within five years.
In addition to other funding efforts, we may seek assistance from the Government Redevelopment Agency for purchasing land. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, personal consumption and expenditures for amusement and recreation increased by $31.5 billion from 1990 to 1998, with an overall industry gross of $56.2 billion.
Considering the current prices and revenue structure in the local amusement and recreation industries, our FECs have the potential for several million dollars in gross sales in the first year. With a strong management team and an aggressive marketing plan, we project a consistent annual growth of five percent.

1.1 Objectives
The company’s objective is to build quality, full-service FECs that will command the approval of the predominantly LDS community it serves.
Our goals include:
- Achieve a 10% market share in our first year.
- Modestly increase our gross margins within the second year of operation.
- Increase our market share by a minimum of 10% for each of our first five years.
Currently, there are no quality FECs in Weber County or the surrounding areas within a 50-mile radius. The company believes that by entering the marketplace first and establishing quality facilities, it will become and remain a leader in the FEC industry in the Northern Wasatch Front.
Our fundamental objective is to understand and impact the community where we do business, knowing that we will stand the test of time if the local residents approve and support our center.
1.2 Mission
I&B Investments’ sole purpose is to establish a profitable and well-managed company while creating an atmosphere of fun and excitement for the entire family. We aim to please the local residents as well as the substantial tourist base of the Northern Wasatch Front with our activities.
1.3 Keys to Success
Based on our research, our primary target market is parents and their children (ages 5-15 to 54). We will design our facilities to address this primary market while also considering the secondary markets such as teens and young adults.
We believe that our main keys to success include:
- Providing popular and wide-ranging entertainment activities
- Offering ample and secure parking
- Providing indoor activities for year-round entertainment
- Utilizing state-of-the-art technology
- Ensuring easy access
- Targeting high traffic areas for maximum public exposure
- Designing facilities to curb overcrowding
- Having a seasoned management team
We can minimize certain risk factors by:
- Initial capitalization of the company to sustain operations through year one
- Maintaining low overhead through the use of multi-skilled employees and continual training
- Building a strong customer base through aggressive marketing
- Developing strong community ties and involvement
- Establishing cash/credit/debit card only facilities to eliminate collection costs
Company Summary
The company anticipates locating its first FEC in Weber County, Utah, facing the Majestic Wasatch Front Mountains. The company’s FEC will be the most modern in the Northern Wasatch area.
Initially named the Wasatch Family Fun Center, the company anticipates that its facility will have a positive impact on the local environment and economy.
Mr. Bill Rameson, CEO of Palace Entertainment, the largest FEC chain in the world, has observed, "With most family entertainment centers having a 15 to 20-mile reach and in today’s climate, you’ve got to understand what you’re trying to accomplish. You’ve got to understand your market. You’ve got to understand construction. The attractions have to be interactive and competitive."
I&B Investments plans to choose its locations after thoughtful and detailed research and demographic profiling.

2.2 Start-up Summary
For Phase 1, the Start-up table reflects the cost of the center, activities, and 8.5 +/- acres.
All construction costs are included in the gross loan but not detailed in the "Start-up Cost Table" because these costs occur before the projected pro forma begins.
In the Start-Up Funding table, there are two types of investors listed:
The Seed Investors/Partners under #1-11 are the seed funding group and company management team. Their investment carries a greater risk of loss, and they receive a much greater company ownership than the secure partners do for their investment. These partners also earn sweat equity shares for their involvement/efforts rather than wages during development.
The Start-up Investors/Secure Partners under #1-4 are the start-up funding partners. They may or may not be part of the company’s management team but are the voting and percentage controlling partners. Their investment will be escrowed and secure until the company has secured funding for the entire project. There is no risk of loss associated with these investors.
The Use of Funds table details many of the Start-up Expenses.

2.3 Company Locations and Facilities
The first proposed site / property has two different aspects:
1. We purchase a 10 acre parcel on the site and construct our center.
2. We incorporate a Government Redevelopment Agency (RDA) that can provide our company with a government grant (funds) to help us purchase the entire 44.6 acres. This involves more risk but offers higher profits as we will need to resell 20 acres +/- once they are developed.
Therefore, within this business plan, we will present a primary look at both possibilities, including the basic business structure, start-up cost, projected growth, market, local demographics, economic impact, industry trends, construction costs, land development, oversight of operations during infrastructure development, and future management and marketing team.
Our proposed site is the 44.6 +/- acres on the west side of the Interstate, with three planned future accesses/easements.
The entire property is zoned commercial, and the owner supports our project and will carry a contract. Phase 1 would place our FEC just north of existing commercial establishments.
The latest traffic figures report an average daily traffic count of 30,685 cars exiting and entering the interstate at this junction, and the interstate (north and southbound) carries an average daily traffic count of 56,490 cars. Source: Utah Department of Transportation.
Services
Our FECs will provide customers with a wholesome environment that offers amusement, entertainment, excitement, competition, year-round activities, souvenirs, and great food, all while creating lasting memories at affordable prices.
Although there is currently no competition in the immediate area where we plan to establish our FECs, we believe that, due to the exponential expansion of the FEC industry, competition will eventually arise.
To maintain a solid leadership position in the marketplace, the company plans to become profitable by providing:
– Indoor facilities that can operate regardless of weather conditions.
– Year-round play with a wide variety of activities.
– A seasoned and successful management team.
– Top FEC consultants to advise on attraction layout and design.
– Collaboration with the USU Extension Program to determine tourism impact.
– Collaboration with the Utah Department of Tourism for national and international exposure.
– Family-oriented partnership-operated center for local insight.
– Aggressive marketing strategies.
– Customer Incentive Program to reward frequent visitors.
– Easy access and exposure.
3.1 Service Description
The ability of I&B Investments to accomplish its goals and lead the local family entertainment industry relies on the expertise and social conscience of the management team. Several members of our management team have been recognized in the past for their outstanding community service and involvement.
Local surveys have provided valuable information about the requirements that need to be met for an FEC to attract local residents. We strive to meet these desires and will continuously survey our customers to stay ahead of the curve. Source: USU Extension Program.
The Story of Dave & Busters – Family Entertainment Centers
“In 1982, Dave Corriveau and Buster Corley brought an idea to life. Create a place where adults can enjoy great food, terrific drinks, and the latest interactive games – all in one place. They discovered a winning formula. Over the past 18 years, Dave & Buster’s has grown from one location in Dallas, Texas, to a nationwide organization. And with the help of our creative and dedicated employees, we’re able to keep growing and providing our guests with a unique experience.” Source: Dave & Busters.
I&B Investments intends to build an FEC with a 15,000 to 20,000 square-foot main building located in Northern Utah. We will provide activities and services such as go-carts, miniature golf, climbing walls, batting cages, skycoaster or tower swing, air hockey, foosball, paintball, laser and phazer tag, skateboard arena, outdoor bumper boats, gaming and redemption center, chess/backgammon playing areas, souvenir/gift shop, ice cream, pizza, pretzels, drinks, private party rooms (birthday and corporate), massage therapy center, and a coffee shop.
I&B Investments plans to enter into an agreement with Harris Miniature Golf Company (HMGC) to construct the mini-golf course at our facility. The course’s landscaping will depict the Wasatch Mountains area. The environment will be casual, capturing the romantic era of a visit to the Olde West. The casual ambiance will be enhanced with mellow beat music and the sound of rushing water created by the falls and streams on the golf course. The quality of play and excellent service will ensure a large and loyal customer base.
“Miniature golf’s relatively low start-up cost have made it one of the most lucrative entertainment businesses around. Our latest figures show courses can return as much as 38 percent on an investment each year,” states Dave & Paul of the Professional Miniature Golf Association of Salt Lake City, Utah.
3.2 Future Services
I&B Investments will expand its family entertainment activities during its first year of operation by adding bumper boats, go-carts, and other attractions as discussed elsewhere in our plan.
In addition, I&B Investments is already working on contingency plans for adding more facilities along the Wasatch Front.
To further increase revenues and public attraction, I&B Investments is working to establish several other outdoor entertainment activities using revenue-sharing programs, such as the Skycoaster.
Market Analysis Summary
Research has indicated that the prime market for an FEC is in urban areas close to neighborhoods with large concentrations of middle to upper-income residents. Ease of access is important, but street frontage is not crucial.
Mr. Randy White, president of White Hutchinson Leisure & Learning Group, one of the leading FEC project developers in the United States, has observed, “Just as entertainment is becoming an essential component of shopping centers, entertainment is the backbone of today’s urban redevelopment. Often referred to as urban or location-based entertainment centers, these projects integrate entertainment with retail, dining, and cultural facilities to create a resident and tourist destination.”
A seven to ten-mile radius is considered the market area of an FEC. However, depending on competition, the market area can expand to a fifteen-mile radius, or even twenty miles with easy highway access.
The U.S. Census Bureau, Census 2000, and the Weber County Economic Development provide the following demographic information about our area within a 15-mile radius:
Counties Gross pop. Age 5-75
Weber 196,533 171,297
Box Elder 42,750 37,308
Davis 238,994 209,794
The population in a fifteen-mile radius exceeds 500,000. The median age is 27, with a 50% male and female distribution. Over 85% of the population is white, and over 40% are in the 25 to 50 age range. Over 75% own or are buying their homes. The average household size is 3.5 persons, and the average household adjusted gross income is $39,250.
4.1 Market Segmentation
I&B Investments’ primary targeted market consists of three main groups: 15 to 24-year-olds, 25 to 34-year-olds, and 35 to 54-year-olds. For a comprehensive breakdown of the local population, refer to the following table and chart.
Market Analysis
Potential Customers: The number of potential customers in specific age groups is expected to grow over the next five years, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) ranging from 2% to 9%.
Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 CAGR
Age 15 to 24: 90,450 96,329 102,590 109,258 116,360 6.50%
Age 25 to 34: 66,800 68,136 69,499 70,889 72,307 2.00%
Age 35 to 54 w/ older children: 125,250 136,523 148,810 162,203 176,801 9.00%
Total: 282,500 300,988 320,899 342,350 365,468 6.65%
4.2 Target Market Segment Strategy
A full-time public relations coordinator is vital for assuring customer satisfaction, generating public awareness, and promoting activities at our “FEC” to the public. Our success lies in providing enjoyable experiences for all age groups.
4.2.1 Market Needs
Our service fills a long-standing void in the local entertainment market, as identified through local demographic analysis of Weber and Davis County.
4.2.2 Market Trends
To avoid the negative impact of large chains, I&B Investments aims to establish its presence in the Utah market before national chains do. The amusement industry in Utah is projected to show significant growth, making it an opportune time for our establishment.
4.2.3 Market Growth
The population size and the type of entertainment we offer contribute to the projected growth and stability of our customer base in the coming years. With the majority of the population residing within close proximity to our chosen site, there is a clear advantage. Moreover, there is no existing FEC of our type within a 50-mile radius.
4.3 Service Business Analysis
Dr. DeeVon Bailey from Utah State University has conducted a study on Weber County’s economy and the impact of amusement companies. The study reveals the economic multipliers associated with our proposed business, highlighting the positive impact it can have on the local economy.
4.3.1 Competition and Buying Patterns
Our industry has minimal inventory requirements, allowing for quick shipment from suppliers. Being locally owned, we can connect with the community and meet their specific needs.
4.3.2 Main Competitors
There are no true FECs in the Rocky Mountain area, giving us a prime opportunity to serve the market. While there may be other recreational and amusement activities in the area, none can compete directly with our unique and diverse offerings.
Strategy and Implementation Summary
We aim to provide a premium amusement and entertainment experience, positioning ourselves in the market as a leader in quality and service. Our pricing strategy aligns with industry standards, and we plan to establish community involvement programs to contribute to the overall well-being of the community.
5.1 Competitive Edge
Our high standards and strategic location make it difficult for competitors to enter and survive in our market area. Our competitive edge lies in providing maximum profits at affordable prices while offering a wide range of entertainment options for all age groups.
Our target market includes customers from all demographics who seek enjoyable entertainment. We employ a full-time public relations manager to ensure customer satisfaction and stay connected with the community.
5.2.1 Pricing Strategy
Our pricing is consistent with industry recommendations and local competition. The detailed pricing chart showcases the variety of activities we offer and the projected number of customers per month.
5.2.2 Promotion Strategy
Word-of-mouth advertising is paramount to our success, and we also utilize advertisements, local newspapers, and a future website to reach new customers. We engage with Utah’s State Tourist Department and use signs and brochures to spread awareness.
5.3 Sales Strategy
We aim to provide a fun and competitive environment for the whole family, with minimum physical requirements. By offering exceptional service and value for money, we anticipate reaching a broader market than initially projected.
Our sales strategy is based on the core principles of business: satisfying our customers to ensure repeat business.
Based on a target market population of 418,399 people, we will outline how we can easily achieve our income goals.
– 10% of 418,399 people equals 41,839 customers annually, each spending $81.26 per year, or $8.50 per visit, and visiting 9.5 times per year.
– Alternatively, using our projected average expenditure per person, $8.50 multiplied by 1,225 customers daily equals $10,412. Multiply this by 313 days a year to get a yearly total of $3,259,112.
This means that if approximately one out of every three potential customers visits our center once a year and spends at least $8.50, we can meet or exceed our projected income.
In 2006, sales saw an increase due to the opening of Phase 2.
The chart below illustrates I&B Investments’ Projected Sales Forecast for the next five years. Monthly figures are provided in the appendix. For a breakdown of pricing and projected numbers, please refer to topic 4.2.

It is anticipated that the multi-million dollar loan that the company will seek to secure will cover the business start-up costs and provide funds for operating expenses for the first year. Management projects that it will need to obtain additional investment capital to fund the loan and long-term assets.
The Highlights chart that accompanies the Executive Summary sets forth the company’s anticipated profitability analysis. Management believes that even minimal revenues should be sufficient to offer investors an acceptable return on investment.
7.1 Important Assumptions
NOTES FOR PROJECTIONS
All sales projections/assumptions are based on operating at 35% +/- of capacity. Refer to the Sales Forecast topic for demographic break down and average cost per person.
1. The figure of $890,000 shown in the Start-up Funding table under Current Borrowing, is the start-up investment, amortized with a 19% interest rate and paid off in five years.
2. Our long-term commercial loan is amortized at 10% interest over 20 years.
3. All pricing has been set by industry standards and the local market.
4. Revenues are strictly a projection based on gross possible players per venue and then using 35% +/- of that capacity for our base calculation.
5. Contract services include: payroll, pest control, trash removal, cable TV.
6. Employees needed and wages have been projected for full time and eight hour shifts. All payroll will be done through a payroll company, therefore giving a flatter rate and making it easier to project.
7. Weber County tax rates are:
a. Real Estate tax $10.00 per $1,000 of assessed value.
b. Personal Property tax base is .009% of cost of equipment.
c. Business License is $50.00 for first 10,000 sq ft & $5.00 per every additional 1,000 sq. ft. of building space.

7.2 Valuation
In the following Investment Analysis Table, one should note that the entire (gross loan + points) amount of our long-term liabilities ($4,542,500) is the figure we used to determine the Net Present Value (NPV) and the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of our company’s projected values.

7.3 Key Financial Indicators
These benchmark indicators give I&B Investments a sense of relative comparison for five years of projections.
7.4 Break-even Analysis
Important notice regarding Break-even Analysis
The figures in this analysis are connected to the costs in the Start-up, Start-up Funding, and Use of Funds tables.
The following chart shows the monthly sales needed to break-even, which is less than half of our planned sales for 2003 and less than one third for subsequent years. We are confident in our ability to succeed and provide profitable returns for our owners/investors.
For the Break-even Analysis, we assume our fixed costs per month include management’s payroll, loan payments, investor repayments, and basic expenses.
It is more difficult to determine margins. Our average of $8.50 in goods/services sold per person is based on the local market average sales, with a gross profit of $6.80 per unit after deducting the average cost of 20%.
We believe that we will not only attract a higher number of monthly customers than shown in this break-even chart, but we also expect to possibly double the projected amount in our cash flow charts in this business plan. This is because we will be the only facilities of its kind within a 50-mile radius.

Monthly Revenue Break-even | $51,010 |
Assumptions: | |
Average Percent Variable Cost | 32% |
Estimated Monthly Fixed Cost | $34,725 |
7.5 Projected Profit and Loss
Important notes regarding Depreciation & Payroll Burden:
- The depreciation of assets was calculated separately from this Profit and Loss statement due to accounting issues in our industry and this program. It deducted our depreciation as cash expenses instead of tax deductions, causing the cash tables to not reflect the true cash flow statement as per our industry (see further explanation below).
- Payroll Burden (overhead/taxes) has been excluded from the Profit and Loss table because payroll costs and taxes were pre-calculated and included in the personnel plan table. We plan to use a payroll company, so all employee payroll fees, taxes, insurances, and other payroll burdens are charged as a flat fee (our industry average fee is wages + 15% +/- .5%).
Regarding depreciation figures, our preliminary assessment using a standard 200% declining balance on equipment and assets gives us a first-year figure of $190,000 +/-. This figure is considered our income tax deductible base and will adjust each year depending on taxable items, gross income, actual values, and depreciation of assets.
When reviewing the Profit & Loss table, note that the company is profitable in the first month of operation. The yearly analysis is indicated in the table below. Monthly analyses can be found in the appendix.
