About the Business
About the Business
This well-established claw machine arcade is located in Amanda Arndale Shopping Center, Adelaide, one of the busiest shopping centers in the western suburbs. The center serves as West Adelaide’s largest student bus exchange, ensuring high and consistent foot traffic, especially after 3 PM when students finish school. With no direct competition in the area, this business enjoys exclusive market dominance and a loyal customer base of students, families, and arcade lovers.
This low-maintenance, high-profit business is ideal for investors, entrepreneurs, or anyone looking for a passive income opportunity. The business runs autonomously, requiring only 1-2 hours per week for restocking and cleaning. With the exclusive Adelaide Show contract, the business generates an extra $20,000+ in just 9 days annually, adding another strong revenue stream.

- Zero Direct Competition – The only claw machine arcade in the area, giving the owner market exclusivity and no pricing pressure.
- Fully Automated Business – Machines run without staff, requiring minimal maintenance, making it perfect for passive income.
- Strong Profit Margins – Aside from rent, nearly all revenue is profit, as there are no staff wages or high overhead costs.
- Growth Potential – The new owner can increase earnings by expanding business hours, adding toy sales, hosting events, or implementing marketing strategies.

History
History of the Business
Established in September 2022, during Millionlife’s success in Australia, the original owner saw the opportunity and took a risk, launching this business in Amanda Arndale Shopping Center.
Now, it runs on self-management, requiring minimal effort. While it may not build an empire, it’s a great side business for passive income and fun, generating steady profits with little time investment.
