Turnkey Kids' Spa Franchise — Boerne TX | 514 Loyal Clients

Boerne, TX, US

This is an asset-based sale of a fully built-out children's franchise spa concept located on the I-10 corridor in Boerne, Texas — one of the fastest-growing family communities in the greater San Antonio market. The 2,671 SF suite features a dedicated appointment floor and a semi-private party room, turnkey and fully equipped for day-one operations. The business serves girls ages 2–15 with mini manicures, mini pedicures, facials, makeup, hair styling, DIY lip gloss and sugar scrub stations, and a full lineup of birthday party packages ranging from $500–$725. The Numbers: This is an asset-based sale — not an earnings-multiple transaction. The business has operated under a remote owner since opening and is priced on the fair market value of its transferable assets: leasehold improvements, FF&E, franchise, and the lease. The right buyer is an owner-operator who steps in and runs this personally — and who will immediately recognize the labor-recapture opportunity that comes with doing so. Why This Works for the Right Buyer: The business currently operates Thursday through Sunday only — four days a week. An owner-operator who expands to a full week, adds school group events, or activates daytime programming has a clear and immediate path to significantly higher revenue with zero additional capital investment. The buildout is done. The equipment is in place. The 514 active clients — all of whom have returned more than once — are already there. What Transfers: Full build-out of 2,671 SF suite (contractor work, tile, custom theming, neon signs, exterior signage) | All FF&E — pedicure benches and bowls, manicure tables, salon chairs, party furniture, DIY stations, electronics, appliances | Active franchise agreement — brand, operations manual, franchisor training, and protected territory (franchise name and details disclosed post-NDA) | Active client database — 514 clients with documented repeat visits | 8 part-time staff — trained and in place | Social media presence and local brand recognition Lease: Suite lease on the I-10 corridor in Boerne expires February 28, 2029, with one 5-year renewal option. Base rent $6,419/mo + NNN approximately $1,626/mo — confirmed at mid-market for this corridor. Lease is assignable with landlord consent. Franchise: Active franchise agreement — transfer fee $10,000 paid by buyer. Royalty 5% of gross revenue. No marketing fund obligation. Franchisee currently in good standing. Franchisor approval of incoming buyer required. Full franchise details disclosed post-NDA. Ideal Buyer: Owner-operator — ideally with a background in children's services, hospitality, or personal care. This is not a passive investment. The growth story here belongs to the person who shows up and runs it. Absentee ownership is not recommended given the operational model. Next Step: NDA required before financial details, business name, location, and franchise details are released. Contact AZUL Advisors to request the NDA. Serious, qualified inquiries only. PRICING BASIS: This is an asset sale priced on the fair market value of transferable assets. Assets include leasehold improvements, all FF&E, the active franchise, and the lease. The asking price is $107,000. Financial details provided to NDA-qualified buyers.

What to know about entertainment and recreation business acquisitions

GW

By George Wellmer

Cofounder & CEO

Key diligence, valuation, financing, and transition considerations for buyers evaluating entertainment and recreation business acquisitions.

Appraise the real estate and capital condition separately from the operation

Courses, lanes, docks, and venues carry expensive, deferrable maintenance — a typical 18-hole course alone runs $400K–$900K a year in upkeep. Get the land and equipment assessed on their own.

Confirm the licenses and permits transfer

Liquor, gaming, and entertainment licenses are often the most valuable and most fragile part of the deal and may not pass automatically.

Review several seasons, not one

Weather, tourism, and the economy swing this revenue hard; look at multiple years and the off-season carrying cost.

Separate recurring revenue from event revenue

Memberships, slip rentals, and league play are durable; one-off events and bar nights are volatile. Price the recurring base differently.

Quantify the capital you'll need after close

Deferred course work, lane refurbishments, and dock repairs add up fast; budget the real plan, not the seller's.

Understand booking, membership, and reputation dependence

Event pipelines, member rolls, and online reputation drive the calendar — know whether they survive a change of owner.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common buyer questions for this market.

Yes, but they're scrutinized for seasonality, real-estate value, and capital needs. Recurring memberships and well-kept facilities fund more easily than discretionary event nights.
