Business Overview:

Skip the build-out and buy two swim schools in Texas that are already open, staffed and growing, under the best national brand Goldfish! Many franchise opportunities on the market today are still just a territory and a plan. These two locations from a leading national children's swim school franchise are fully built and operating in a fast-growing suburb outside a major US city. Purpose-built pools, an established team and a loyal base of subscription families are all in place. Both schools opened in 2025, and monthly revenue has grown about two-and-a-half times since launch, reaching roughly $886,000 over the last twelve months. According to ownership, the schools are tracking the franchisor's typical three-year path to profitability. A new owner steps in partway through that ramp, skipping the construction, permitting and start-up risk, with long-term leases and renewal options already secured. An ideal fit for an existing franchisee looking to expand in their current market or new market, or a multi-unit operator who wants proven locations instead of starting from scratch.

Approximately $3.5M original investment in build-out and equipment.<br><br></p>

Market Competition and Expansion:

<p>Both schools operate in the suburbs of a major city in Texas without competition from other Goldfish locations, as each serves its own market. Competition comes from other swim schools, chiefly Emler Swim School, Aqua-Tots, and Pengu Swim School, along with a few independent single-location operators. These schools for sale set themselves apart with modern, purpose-built facilities, kept at the warm 90-degree pool temperature Goldfish is known for, a structured, play-based curriculum with class offerings from infants through school-age swimmers, and a strong staff culture focused on safety and customer experience. Backed by a nationally recognized brand and franchisor support, the schools are well positioned to keep gaining share in a growing family market.<br></p><p>The trailing twelve months of revenue across both schools total approximately $886,000, with combined pro forma revenue of approximately $1,765,000 in year three (which is about 1.5 years from now), 99% growth over current trailing twelve-month revenue. The ownership’s pro forma for the first location projects third-year revenue of approximately $882,000, an increase of 120% over its current trailing twelve months of about $400,000. The second location projects third-year revenue of approximately $882,000, an increase of more than 80% over its current trailing twelve months of about $486,000. These projections are based on growth in active students as the schools mature<br></p>
