Established Indoor Playground Aurora, IL (Fully Built Out)
Business for Sale | 2,300 SqFt
Marketing description
Offered for sale is a rare, fully built-out indoor children’s playground space, available as a pure asset sale. The offering includes all installed playground equipment, fixtures, and improvements. No business operations, goodwill, or financial performance are included.
This asset benefits from pre-approved zoning and licensing for indoor children’s playground use—an entitlement that is notoriously difficult and time-consuming to secure. The seller spent nearly one year confirming zoning and regulatory approvals prior to construction, making this one of the few legally approved locations for this use and significantly reducing entitlement and development risk for a new operator.
The premises total 2,394 square feet and were created by combining two former commercial units (previously a gym and a beauty salon). The space underwent a full demolition and rebuild over approximately eight months, including new flooring and ceilings, a fully renovated ADA-compliant restroom, complete plumbing system replacement, and electrical upgrades with panel consolidation.
The offering provides a substantial replacement-cost advantage, with approximately $235,000 invested in construction, equipment, and related improvements. The open-concept layout is designed for visibility, safety, and flexible use, allowing a buyer to activate the space quickly with minimal additional capital.
The property is leased (real estate not included), with current monthly rent of $4,250. Lease assignment or a new lease is subject to landlord approval.
This asset is well-suited for an operator or investor seeking a hard-to-replicate, licensed build-out with significant time savings, reduced regulatory risk, and immediate readiness for use.
Additional information, asset lists, and zoning documentation are available upon execution of a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA).
