Turnkey Axe Throwing Venue and Arcade in Prime Location
Business Description
This is a fully built, turnkey axe throwing venue and arcade located in the historic downtown district of Lapeer. The space has become a well-loved local destination, known for its welcoming vibe, fantastic reviews, and ability to host everything from casual walk-ins to corporate events, birthday parties, STEM Day Camps, pinball leagues, and more. Leased building is approximately 5,000 square feet made up of two floors, and includes the axe throwing lanes, bar top and concession area, seating areas, the arcade floor, multiple utility rooms and storage areas, a workshop, four bathrooms, two private party rooms, and a handicap accessible chair lift for easy access to both levels.
One of the biggest strengths of the business is its location. Being in downtown Lapeer provides charm, visibility, and walkability, along with excellent, stress-free parking, which is a huge plus for group events. The venue also draws customers from surrounding areas, including Genesee and Oakland counties, giving it access to a much larger regional audience. The local DDA is supportive, and the business has built positive relationships with nearby businesses that help foster community engagement and cross-promotion.
The venue is fully outfitted with custom built axe throwing lanes, over 45 arcade games, lounge and seating areas, and all necessary front- and back-of-house equipment. The sale includes all furniture, fixtures, equipment, inventory, branding, website, social media accounts, customer lists, booking systems, and operating materials. Day-to-day systems are established, making this a true walk-in-ready opportunity.
While the business is well established and well reviewed, there is still a lot of room to grow. Current ownership has balanced the business alongside other full-time professional obligations, which has limited the ability to fully pursue opportunities like increased private parties and corporate events, expanded league programming, consistent email marketing, memberships, and enhanced food and beverage offerings. There is also potential to add a liquor license, which could meaningfully increase event and per-guest revenue. There are so many opportunities for Axecadia to move to the next level with the right new ownership in place.
Demand for social, experience-based entertainment remains strong, and this business is well positioned for an owner or team excited to build on what’s already here. The current owners are committed to a smooth transition and will provide training and support for up to three months, at least, following closing.
