Feasibility Studies
Engaging in a new business starts here. A third party opinion is essential (and in many cases, for financing, required) to ensure your business will be healthy and have long-term prosperity. Location, demographics, competition, and pricing all play significant parts in determining the success of your operation. Many potential owners offer a huge passion for the business but, an unhealthy decision, such as the wrong location, can potentially cripple the business. TEMG has the ability and insight to create a feasibility study to understand your business and offer insight to all avenues that could potentially affect your operation positively or negatively.

Under-Performing Family Entertainment Center
Competition, food offerings, staffing issues, lack of marketing, or just the wrong entertainment options all can be contributing factors to an underperforming FEC. Our team of experts will analyze your facility and provide several budget-conscious paths to create a long-term successful operation.
Operational Challenges of a Family Entertainment Center
Poor operations can erode hard-earned profits. Do you have the right team in place to make the correct daily decisions that ensure the success of your operation? Management wears many hats in operating a family entertainment center. With the lack of systems in place, too much time can be spent on one project, which takes away from the many needs to be operationally successful. TEMG can work with your management team to create a business plan to ensure all key operational points are outlined and executed. This will allow for organization, reduced costs and keep the team focused on building sales in your property.

Testimonials
I have worked with Dave Wallace and Turfway Entertainment on numerous projects over the years. Although our company manufactures a variety of products suitable for family entertainment centers, Dave’s honest assessment of his client’s needs always take preceident. He only recommends thoes products that will benefit that individual facility.
Working with Turfway was the best decision we could have made for our FEC expansion. You don’t know what you don’t know until someone tells you. If you are even considering using a consultant, that means you need one. The team at Turfway saved us tens of thousands of dollars in mistakes and value engineering of our faculty and f&b program. I highly recommend these guys!!!
The knowledge, professionalism, and dedication that Dave and his team bestows is remarkable. As a third party vendor, I know that whenever Turfway is involved with one of my projects their in good hands and are lined up for success.
Our company is privileged to work with Dave in providing amusement insurance to his clients. Insurance can be a big challenge for new facilities especially when the owner has little to no prior amusement operational experience. Dave’s processes are recognized by our underwriters as he gives great attention to studies, budgets and planning on the front- end while providing important guidance and resources to his clients during the build-out and pre-opening phases. These services allow our underwriters to shorten the underwriting cycle for Dave’s clients which permits us to offer the most favorable policy terms and pricing.
Dave is excellent to work with and has exceptional expertise in the family entertainment industry. He consistently demonstrated a solid work ethic displayed by his motivation and forward thinking. It was fantastic working with Dave to acquire a vision of where we could grow.
We have always been extremely impressed when working with Dave and Turfway Entertainment. For any partner we work with, its important to know they have the client’s best interest in mind, and are able to get results. Dave’s experience and expertise puts his clients in an amazing position to succeed. From the feasibility assessment to attractions selection, and staff hiring and training – Dave pulls together the best resources for a successful project to dominate in any market.
