- Rated CAUTION with a risk score of 72/100. SBA loan default rate of 0.0% across 2 loans (below the industry average).

Overview
About
Scooter's Jungle appears to be an indoor play/entertainment facility (likely for children) where franchisees operate arcade games, climbing structures, scooter/ride-on attractions, and host birthday parties and open-play sessions. Day-to-day operations involve facility management, staff supervision, customer service, equipment maintenance, and marketing to drive foot traffic.

Risk & Legal
Scooter's Jungle presents HIGH RISK due to a virtually non-existent franchise system (3 units), undisclosed financial performance, questionable franchisor solvency, and inability to validate ROI against comparable locations.
Score breakdown · what drove the 72 / 100 rating
- 01MINOROnly 3 units in system with unknown/stagnant growth trajectory suggests failed or dormant franchise model
- 02MEDNo average revenue or net income disclosed (no Item 19) prevents ROI validation and indicates weak performance data
- 03HIGHGoing Concern status is FALSE, signaling potential financial distress or uncertainty at franchisor level
- 04MINORHigh initial investment ($705k-$970k) with only 3 comparable locations creates extreme due diligence and benchmarking risk
- 05MEDTiered royalty structure (6%-5%) on undisclosed revenue base makes profitability projections impossible to validate
- 06MINORMinimal franchisee base (3 units) provides no network support, purchasing power, or operational peer learning
