Mind Games has been operating successfully in a retail environment since 1977. We currently have eight stores operating in the eastern states of Australia including corporate, affiliates and franchises. A Mind Games store provides a comfortable income and interesting workplace for the motivated owner operator. We do not recommend this business opportunity for the passive investor.
​
Mind Games has never felt the need to actively seek out new franchisees and thus does not have glossy colour brochures or hard-sell material to send to prospective franchisee customers. Our relationship with franchisees is more along the lines of a handshake licence agreement. It is essentially a verbal arrangement based on mutual respect and common sense with the need for very little to be put down on paper. After the initial set-up phase, you will be responsible for your own buying and the day-to-day running of your business.
​
We highly recommend prospective applicants have access to capital funding of $150,000 to establish in a major metropolitan area or $120,000 for a rural environment. Our annual fee gives you the right to trade under the name Mind Games with all the benefits and responsibilities that entails.
​
The main benefit of an association with Mind Games is the experience gained from almost half a century in the Games industry. We have established very favourable terms with most of our suppliers and are able to source all lines essential for a successful games shop.
​
A Mind Games franchise is best suited to the hands-on owner-operator, preferably a person who has a love of games & puzzles in addition to a level business head. It is not recommended in an investment-only situation. A successful operator can expect an enjoyable hobby and a healthy income.
​
Some other benefits are as follows:
- help with shop location and lease negotiations
- supply of Mind Games stock control software
- access to Mind Games catalogues, stationery and website
- access to expert advice from all Mind Games owners & staff.
