McKenzie FunZone Business Model:
McKenzie FunZone has never been about trying to get rich.
I didn’t come from money, and honestly, I probably wouldn’t know what to do with a bunch of it if I had it. But I do know this: my heart for this community and the people who support us will never change.
I believe fun should be affordable.
Even in the best economy, entertainment is usually one of the first things families have to cut when money gets tight. I want McKenzie FunZone to be a place where families can still make memories without feeling like they have to spend a fortune to do it.
And as we grow, giving back will continue to be part of who we are.
We already try to help where we can through school supply drives, food assistance, helping families when life gets hard, and simply trying to be an asset to the communities that support us. Growing the business won’t change that. It will allow us to do more.
Here is the plan moving forward:
1. Spray foam the building to improve efficiency and make the facility more comfortable.
2. Get our AC issues permanently fixed within the next two years — hopefully much sooner.
3. Add a kitchen and provide more food options. We absolutely love our partnership with Block City Pizza, and that partnership will continue to be important to us.
4. Continue adding attractions and experiences to our area. Small-town entertainment matters. Small businesses like ours can help give families and young people more things to do close to home.
5. Continue creating more roles and opportunities for local people as we grow our staff.
6. Reinvest back into the business. Better equipment, better attractions, a better facility, and a better overall experience for every family that walks through our doors.
7. Keep listening. We want to hear what our community wants to see here because this place should grow with the community that supports it.
And here is the most important part: for us to keep prices affordable, give back, create jobs, fix the building, and add more attractions, McKenzie FunZone has to become a sustainable business. Profit isn’t about deepening my pocketbook. It is what allows us to keep the doors open, take care of our employees, invest back into this place, and continue helping others.
I don’t want McKenzie FunZone to just be a business where people come play.
I want it to be something our community is proud to have.
We’ve got a lot of work ahead of us. We’re not where we want to be yet. But we’re still here, we’re still fighting for this place, and we’re still working toward making it better.
Thank you to everyone who has supported us, shared our posts, brought your family in, booked a party, or simply believed in what we’re trying to build.
This is still just the beginning.
