“We’ve been part of the Lollipop’s Playland franchise system for over 10 years and now own and operate multiple locations. Throughout that time, the support from head office has played a big part in helping us grow. From marketing and operational guidance to having a team we can turn to when challenges come up, we’ve felt supported as our business has expanded. Having that experience and support behind us gave us the confidence to take on more locations.”
