I’m excited to announce @SandboxVR is now available for franchising across the United States. Historically, franchise business in the standalone entertainment space hasn’t been as compelling due to low revenue and limited market validation. I believe we’ve changed that.

Today, over 100,000 guests visit us monthly. We operate 32 standalone locations across the US, where an average location generates over $1.9M revenue annually. And because we sell bytes not atoms, our unit profit is on par with if not stronger than some of the most established franchise brands.

But what’s really exciting is the impact technology innovation has on our product and unit economics. When we integrated wifi streaming two years ago, customer reviews and same-store sales shot up. With computer vision + genAI on the horizon, there’s so much more to look forward to. Combined with our exclusive content pipeline and Netflix collaboration, we cannot be more excited about the future.

If you’d like to join us on this journey as a franchise operator, drop a visit on our website to learn more.

Hoyeon Jung, Squid Game star, reveals in a recent interview to Vogue Korea that lately she’s been obsessed with the video game “Assassin's creed IV”

“I just think it's something the world needs right now.
Whenever I play it, my mood changes for the better."

It’s been a long time coming, but we’ve finally reopened all @SandboxVR locations.

Love this so much!

99% of the time, I ignore trolls and ban them. 1% of the time, I do this:

Is this noncompliance?

We were told, noncompliance is a death sentence. I need an explanation.

Wow. This video from @donwinslow might be the clearest breakdown of Trump’s traitorous behavior yet.

Shame on you @StocktonHK we felt unsafe in your bar and you did NOTHING. You let this guy back in multiple times so he could continue to harass us. I always loved this place, now I will never visit again. How dare you. Seriously on this week of all weeks, how dare you!

[Michael Hampden @BigMikeyVR]

@stockonhk We asked the security guard three times to deal with it, he told us that maybe the guy is our friend. Are you kidding me? We asked multiple times for the staff to intervene and this asshole was let back in to harass us again

[Michael Hampden @BigMikeyVR]

Dear #StocktonHK, as a black man, part of a group of five Asian and black crowd, have to leave tonight rather than putting up with an entitled white privilege customer that harassed us for over three hours, touching us, trying to steal our drinks, bothering us over and over.
