Evan, tell me about your business. Hoop Dallas is the first and only mobile basketball arcade in the metroplex. Do you own this territory? Yeah. We've been open a year rank we've done a 130 rentals in a year. What do you love about this business? Simple. Just roll up. Roll up. Better generator. Yep. Doors go open, generators on and I just get it. I'm out of there in ten seconds. So if it's close enough, you just leave it. If it's pretty far away, you just stay with it. Yeah. And sometimes I'll hire kids, like high school kids in the area. We did Kyrie Irving's basketball tournament Oh, okay. This past weekend. Yeah. It's not just for kids. Like, I have adult parties better, corporate stuff. Everybody loves this. You get to compete in a friendly environment. How do you find customers? Facebook Marketplace. I post the actual price it would cost to rent it. Which is? It was $3.50 for a small party. So 30,000 in revenue? Closer to 60. Wow. 58 up until May. Are you happy with that? Yeah. I put ten hours at most into it a week. Do you boost your listings? No. Where else do you find customers? Facebook groups. Organizers of events need food trucks. When event organizers see it, they're like, this is by far the best thing I have because I have to do nothing. It's easy to set up. It's very good. So Yeah. It's attracting attention at all times. We've got really, really good feedback. They go in with the VFW good truck group. What I like to do is go on there and and say, we're not a food truck, but we have a really cool attraction. You rank compliment tier. Yeah. Any better, you no? I haven't dove into the ad space. I don't know if I should. And then ongoing costs are insurance and gas. Insurance and gas, business expenses. What were your upfront costs? So when I bought it, it was $55,000. And he offered seller financing for half of it. Oh, wow. Okay. Yeah. No it was very easy to get it to. Basically ish paid it off the first year. Yes. What are you hoping to do the next year? I'm battling with that. I'm trying to figure out if it is worth it to get a secondary one and hire somebody. I turn away 15% of potential customers because I don't have a secondary unit. Okay. Average ticket size, 500, $600? It's gonna be like $4.50. When we first got it, our pricing structure is really bad. We said $400 for everything rank said there's a four hour minimum. And what I found was people hated the word minimum. Mhmm. They're like, I don't want it for four hours. And I was like, that's fine. You don't have to have it for four hours, but we we charge $400. So we've gone away from that and we've structured it with packages. So this one for two hours? Yeah. So most birthday parties want it for two hours. And for that, we charge $3.50 plus the mileage. It usually comes out to be in about $400. What advice do you have for people wanting to do a business like this? Go for it. Yeah. Because people are dying to have things show up to their house. Like, in in the world of Amazon and everything arrives at my door, they want Chuck E. Cheese or Dave and Buster's to come to their good. Yeah. And and they're willing to pay for it. Evan, thank you.
