Simbaa Playzone Franchise

Kolkata soft-play zone, four mall outlets. Page claims 10% gross-sales royalty, 30-36 month payback; its investment and fee figures conflict.

About This Listing

Simbaa Playzone's franchise page says 'Now Franchising' and gives a 10% gross-sales royalty, but its fee and investment figures contradict each other (Rs 20 lakh fee and Rs 45-50 lakh investment in one section; fee 'minimum 15 lacs' and Rs 50 lakh-1 crore+ in another), and it gives no area, agreement term or territory. We could not confirm a complete franchise offer; ask for the terms in writing.

About the Brand

Brand USP

Kolkata mall-based soft-play zone with party hosting and an in-house cafe, per its own site.

HeadquartersKolkata
Simbaa Playzone is a Kolkata soft-play and kids' party venue with an in-house cafe. Its own site lists four mall locations (Acropolis Mall, Mani Square, Lake Mall and City Centre New Town; mall names only, and the site does not say whether any is franchised) and play packages from Rs 400 for 30 minutes. The franchise page quotes a royalty of 10% of gross sales and an average payback of 30-36 months (the brand's own claim), but contradicts itself on the money: one section says Rs 45-50 lakh total investment and a Rs 20 lakh franchise fee, another says Rs 50 lakh to Rs 1 crore+ and a minimum fee of Rs 15 lakh (for investments up to Rs 50 lakh). The page gives no area, agreement term or territory terms, and the 45-50 lakh figure carries an asterisk. Because of the conflicts we show no headline investment or fee, and we list the franchise status as unconfirmed. What to watch: a third-party GST data site (not the GST portal, which we did not read) lists a partnership firm trading as Simbaa Playzone, registered 24 Feb 2023, so a buyer would likely sign with a partnership firm; the franchise page names no signing entity; no outlet figures or franchised-outlet count are published; the homepage FAQ lists 'City Center 2' against 'City Centre - New Town' elsewhere.

Why invest in Simbaa Playzone?

- Its site lists four Kolkata mall locations: Acropolis Mall, Mani Square, Lake Mall and City Centre New Town (read 10 Nov 2026; whether any is franchised is not stated). - The franchise page states a royalty of 10% of gross sales and an average payback of 30-36 months (brand claims, not verified). - A third-party GST data site lists an active regular registration for Simbaa Playzone (partnership) dated 24 Feb 2023; this was not checked on the GST portal.
