Virtual reality (VR) technology has many practical uses, yet Ctrl V has realized that VR can also be great fun. Ctrl V believes it is a pioneer in virtual reality arcades.
Ctrl V began operations in 2016 and began to franchise later the same year. Ctrl V operates worldwide, with locations in the United States and Canada. With several locations, Ctrl V arcades use state-of-the-art equipment to offer their customers a virtual reality experience that they may never forget.
Why You May Want To Start a Ctrl V Franchise
With hundreds of thousands of customers served, Ctrl V is seeking franchisees who share the sense of wonder that underlies everything a Ctrl V franchise should be about. Franchisees should be fun-loving people who get along well with others. A franchisee's enthusiasm should motivate their team and customers. The franchisee will also oversee the smooth running of their Ctrl V location.
The customer is at the center of everything that a Ctrl V arcade does. Ctrl V aims to make immersive technology available to as many people as possible. Ctrl V franchises may be expected to actively support charities, social justice, research, and community involvement. A franchisee, then, should share the company's concern for others and promote their social programs.
The VR experience at Ctrl V may make the arcade an ideal venue for birthday parties, corporate fun days, and other group events.
What Might Make a Ctrl V Franchise a Good Choice?
Opening a Ctrl V franchise may offer a more predictable outcome than investing in a completely new brand that could struggle to thrive in an already crowded and competitive industry.
Ctrl V has been ranked in Entrepreneur's Top New Franchises. This ranking is based on an evaluation of more than 150 data points in the areas of costs and fees, size and growth, franchisee support, brand strength, and financial strength and stability.
To be part of the Ctrl V franchise team, you should make sure you're financially ready for an initial investment made up of a franchise fee and other startup costs. In addition, you should be prepared for ongoing fees that will include advertising, royalty, and potential renewal fees. Franchisees will also need to meet the company's set net worth and liquid capital requirements.
How To Open a Ctrl V Franchise
As you decide if opening a Ctrl V franchise is the right move for you, make sure you take time to explore the opportunity. Research the brand and your local area to see if a Ctrl V franchise would do well in your community. While competition is healthy, too much of it may not allow for the most possible growth.
Before making any financial commitment or signing an agreement, you must perform your due diligence and establish if this is the right opportunity for you. As part of your due diligence, you may want to speak to existing franchisees and ask the Ctrl V franchising team questions.
If awarded a franchise, Ctrl V franchisees will take part in a multi-week training program at company headquarters in Waterloo, Ontario. They will then return home and begin working on setting up their arcade. Franchisees have access to a wide range of support programs to help them succeed.
