We hit the jackpot with our 3rd Annual Store Leadership Conference in Las Vegas! 🌟 This face-to-face time IRL has been essential for strengthening connections between store managers and store support staff. From dynamic workshops and presentations to celebrating our top performers, it was a fantastic opportunity to connect as a #team and prepare for a busy Q4. 🏆 The energy and insights shared were inspiring, thank you to everyone who made this conference a huge success.

Disclosing for the first time, an average US Sandbox VR corporate location in 2023 made $1.9M annually. And because we sell bytes, not atoms, we get software-level gross margins. Hitting this level of revenue across our dozens of corporate locations couldn't have been possible without vertically integrating and fine-tuning our business across product, content, operations, and marketing over the years (not to mention COVID becoming our forcing function to massive unit optimization). And that's why opening up franchising is exciting for us. On one end we have the historical and markets to back up our business. On the other end, the more locations we have, the faster we can accelerate innovation and content development, which further benefits every location. I've shared more on our growth and franchising here - https://lnkd.in/gW2sMxGr

This week, our Business Development team spent some quality time together fighting off zombies at Sandbox VR! This is one of the many ways we're able to enjoy each others company and have fun after a day of work. We had a great time and are looking forward to more team building!
Took the team to Sandbox VR the other day for some team building. There were no trust falls or deeper meanings behind our activities, we just had fun in a VR game and shared a nice dinner afterwards. The best way I know to build camaraderie and the feeling of actually being a team is through shared experience, not by forcing an agenda or learnings upon your staff. Provide the space for them to create the experience themselves. You don't always have to be the guide, sometimes you can just shoot zombies too.
