The Opportunity: A Greenfield Discount Priced at just $149,000, this is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a fully built-out, equipped, and operational Code Ninjas franchise at a steep discount to its true replacement cost. Building a brand-new territory from scratch typically requires $200,000 to $350,000+ in initial capital, plus 6 to 12 months of exhausting permitting, contractor delays, and construction.

This center is 100% turnkey. You are acquiring the physical assets and infrastructure at a fraction of the cost, completely justifying the asking price. Included in the sale:

• Extensive Leasehold Improvements: A fully permitted, custom-designed tech "dojo" buildout, dedicated reception area, and structured commercial network wiring.

• Premium Furniture & Fixtures: Modern student coding stations, specialized gaming chairs, and a complete front-desk setup.

• Technology & Equipment: Fully equipped with the necessary laptops, monitors, secure networking gear, and physical STEM educational tools.

A new owner instantly bypasses the expensive build-out phase, allowing them to focus all their capital and energy on driving enrollment from Day 1. The center features a highly favorable lease with a 3-year initial term starting in July and a 5-year renewal option.

The Situation: A Strategic Turnaround Established in 2025, this location represents a classic, high-upside turnaround opportunity. The current owners maintain demanding full-time careers outside of the business and only dedicate 5 to 10 remote hours a week to the center. As a result, operations are completely absentee and managed by a team of 3 part-time employees.

Because of the owners' limited availability, the center currently operates on an artificially restricted schedule, open just 3 days a week for a total of only 8.5 hours. Due to this limited schedule and a lack of aggressive localized marketing, the business is not yet at break-even.

The Path to Profitability & Growth The growth strategy for this location is clear, actionable, and immediate. An active, hands-on owner-operator can instantly capture untapped after-school and weekend demand simply by expanding the operating hours to a standard 5-to-6-day schedule.

Transitioning from an absentee model to an owner-managed structure will drastically reduce current payroll overhead and improve daily operating margins. Revenue can be immediately scaled by:

• Implementing grassroots, community-level marketing.

• Establishing direct partnerships with local Morris County school districts.

• Expanding high-margin supplementary programs like summer camps, holiday break camps, and "Parents' Night Out" events.

The Competitive Advantage Code Ninjas is a massive, nationally recognized franchisor operating with a distinct advantage in the local STEM education market. Unlike unstructured online coding apps or generalized after-school care, Code Ninjas provides a highly structured "belt system" curriculum that keeps children motivated by teaching them to code through video game building. The physical center offers a safe, interactive environment that provides crucial socialization alongside technical education. As a franchisee, you step into continuous curriculum updates, national marketing support, and a trusted brand name that independent local tutors simply do not possess.

Next Steps This is the perfect acquisition for a driven entrepreneur, an existing multi-unit franchise operator, or an educator ready to step in and scale a fully built asset. Please reach out for more details and to schedule a private tour of the facility.
