Lollipop's Playland

The Lollipop’s franchise story began in New Plymouth, New Zealand in 1993 when Alan and Rose Grant opened the very first Lollipop’s Playland and Café. The Lollipop’s idea hatched when the pair noticed that children weren’t visiting fast food restaurants for the food – but for the playground instead. With this in mind they set off to create a children’s playground concept that would provide a unique and exciting place for children to play.

Lollipop’s is now a multi-national franchise network with play centers and cafes throughout New Zealand, Australia and Asia. A Lollipop’s is known for bright, colourful environments and their ‘Superplay’ features that aren’t found anywhere else. The goal is to create a space where children can play safely in a creative environment and parents can relax with peace of mind.

Lollipop’s businesses are owned and operated by passionate franchisees who love providing an engaging space for play and entertainment. The Lollipop’s team are on the search for more superstar franchisees to join the team – would you like to center your business around fun and laughter?

BENEFITS

HANDS ON
Although Lollipop’s Playland & Cafe is a franchise system, we encourage franchisees to make your business your own. Other than a few standards and rules that need to be adhered to, you will have the flexibility to be a hands on operator – it’s the best of both worlds. You’ll be in business for yourself, but not by yourself.

WORKING TOGETHER
We don’t just handover the keys to a Lollipop’s Playland and Cafe and say “see you later.” You will receive complete assistance in setting up your own location. We’ll take you through a full training program at our Melbourne head office, and when you’re ready to open your location, you’ll have the support and experience you need to succeed. Your success is our success, and we promise to help you every step of the way.

THE WORD IS OUT
Lollipop’s is a national brand name in Australia, New Zealand and Indonesia. You can take advantage of the existing brand awareness and name Lollipop’s has built by joining an established business – you won’t be working from the ground up.

In addition, you’ll enjoy a national marketing plan that benefits the entire Lollipop’s network. Benefits include:

• Website management
• Support in localised marketing activities
• TV commercials scheduled nationally
