Why buy this Chipmunks Playland and Cafe Franchise

Chipmunks Playland and Cafe Franchise for Sale Timaru

An established Chipmunks Playland and Café business located in the busy Timaru region, South Island.

This is a long-standing, operational store with a proven trading history, offering multiple income streams including pay for play, café sales, birthday parties, functions, and before & after school care.

Importantly, this is an older, well-established site that now presents a clear upgrade opportunity. The incoming owner needs to factor in a planned refresh and equipment upgrade to reposition the store for the next 10–15 years of trading. The purchase price reflects the total investment required, including both acquisition and the anticipated upgrade of the playground equipment and store presentation.

Please note: the attached photos are indicative of the intended upgraded “Chipmunks” look and feel and are provided to illustrate the future vision for the site, rather than the current condition of the existing store.

Key highlights:

1. Established Chipmunks Playland location with consistent trade history
2. Multiple revenue streams across play, café, parties, and care services
3. Strong family-focused business model with proven systems, training, and franchisor support
4. Opportunity to modernise and uplift the existing facility to current brand standards
5. Ideal lifestyle business with family-friendly operating hours (no late-night trading)
6. Attractive lease terms in place
7. Current long-term owners retiring and transitioning to travel

This is a compelling opportunity for an owner-operator or multi-site operator looking to acquire an established location and add value through refurbishment and operational refresh. To get an idea of the new-look Chipmunks we recommend you visit Chipmunks Rolleston, which opened in June 2025.
