This Franchised business is a full-sized, refurbished school bus that provides Fitness and Fun to children ages 2 to 7 years. It is basically a fitness center on wheels for kids. The bus is painted lime-green on the outside with all these cool graphics of cartoon kids having FUN. You can't miss it driving down the road. Two people are aboard the bus at all times with the kids. The bus targets local schools, preschools, nursery schools, camps, churches, organizations, picnics, and corporations. The children come on board the FUN BUS and participate in structured fitness classes. The bus is equipped with mats, swings rings, punching bags, a parallel bar, mini trampoline, balance beam, and the children exit the back of the bus on the big banana slide (weather permitting). It is all done to age-appropriate music and the bus is climate controlled allowing the bus to work all year long in any state hot (FL, AZ) or cold (MN, WI). You are never driving with kids on the bus and driving the bus is not hard - it's like driving an RV and no special license is needed.

First, this franchised business could actually fall into a couple different industries because the benefits to the children are many. The bus is really 3 programs - its fitness, its entertainment (and FUN), and it's educational (teaching kids exercise movements and the value of fitness).

Second, the target bus customer is are kids ages 2 to 7 years. The primary market is day care centers and pre-schools. In addition, the bus is also very popular with kid's birthday parties. So, it is a combination of B2B and B2C. Owners have the chance to build a repeat customer base with the centers, schools, and churches in their territory. Most territories awarded will have about 50+ day care centers to market to, which is a large territory, and a population of 100,000. One bus can accommodate about 8 to 10 centers, so owners can have a multi-bus operation within their assigned territory.

Third, there is no direct competition with the bus. The general competition is any type of children's entertainment, fitness/gym program, or party business. The bus is the only mobile FRANCHISE which provides Fitness and FUN for kids in their "own classroom" fully equipped with everything the kids need to have a positive and impactful experience.

This is the right business at the right time. Obesity among young children is on the rise and at an all-time high. Children with diabetes is a huge issue, and, as you know, children watch way too much TV and play video games for hours. They simply are not getting enough physical exercise. The bus delivers a program and message for parents and children that Fitness is FUN - and good for you.

Which leads me to the FUN BUS points of different or competitive advantage, which is: the bus offers a very flexible schedule for the owners, a business model with very little overhead & expenses, a market that will never become extinct (we call it a renewable resource every time babies are born), a very scalable business (by adding more buses), and the ability to control the amount of income you want with setting goals and planning your growth. This is a rewarding and, of course, FUN business. Watching children climb into the bus and showing them how to have FUN with Fitness is a very fulfilling experience.

The bus has developed a solid training and support system. You'll receive one week of training in NJ. This training consists of 1 day of complete marketing, office, administrative training. a day of professional bus driving school, and 3 and ½ days of hands-on bus training aboard a bus. The training is very comprehensive. Once you are operational, their support system includes weekly scheduled calls with you to ensure you are on track of your goals and addressing any issues that may have come up. They work with vendors and suppliers on group purchases for the franchise system. They work closely with the bus suppliers and equipment vendors that they are maintaining the high standards set by franchise. They will also assist with advertising, inventory purchases, and marketing materials. Their support is very good.

The total investment is between $67,000 and $87,000 which includes working capital.
