About Chipmunks Timaru

An outstanding opportunity to acquire a well-established Chipmunks Playland & Café franchise in Timaru. Operating under one of Australasia’s leading indoor children’s entertainment brands, Chipmunks Timaru offers an established customer base, multiple revenue streams and significant potential for future growth.

The business generates income through general admission, café sales, birthday parties, private venue hire, functions, and before and after-school care, creating a diverse and resilient business model. As part of the Chipmunks franchise network, you’ll benefit from proven operating systems, comprehensive training and ongoing Head Office support.

This established location also presents an exciting opportunity to modernise the venue and unlock its full potential. A planned refurbishment and playground upgrade will position the business for the next stage of growth, allowing a new owner to refresh the customer experience while building on the store’s long trading history. The asking price has been structured to reflect both the acquisition of the business and the investment required to complete this transformation.

To experience the latest Chipmunks store design, we recommend visiting Chipmunks Rolleston, which opened in June 2025.

Whether you’re looking to own your first business or expand your existing portfolio, Chipmunks Timaru provides a rare opportunity to acquire an established location with clear value-add potential, supported by a recognised brand with more than 40 locations across New Zealand, Australia and Asia.
