Imagine That!!!

“Imagine That!!!” is a new American franchise whose customers all have one thing in common: they are all aged between 2 and 10! The idea for the company, which was started in April 2008 was the brainchild of two married couples, the Bonders and the Petersons, who all thought that there was room on the market for a new concept in children’s entertainment. As Mrs Peterson says: "We wanted to start a fun business, which our children would enjoy and could get involved with. We wanted to have some fun place, where parents could bring their children and which would also be educational." At present the company’s first “Discovery Center” is located in East Hanover, New Jersey, but there are already plans to open a second, franchised operation in the near future. The centres themselves, occupy 14 square feet, contain 38 exhibits that children can interact with. In the "Kidpot" children can sit in the cockpit of a real Piper airplane and handle the controls. At the ‘Corner Grocery’ they can do their own shopping that they can even pay with pretend money. “Imagine That!!!" also aims to familiarize children with some of the difficulties which face handicapped people in their daily lives. The "Disabled" exhibit gives the chance to handle Braille books and to attend handicap awareness demonstrations. The company is expanding actively and is keen to hear from people who would be interested in taking out an ”Imagine That!!!” franchise. Although the cost of opening an “Imagine That!!!” unit will vary according to size and location, future franchisees should be prepared to make a total investment of between $ 385000 and $ 425000.

X. Prepare a list of additional information that you need about the franchiser and of any specific questions that you would like to ask. Now, using your list, write a short e-mail message to “Imagine that!!!” in which you present yourself as a potential franchiser or master franchiser and then request information on the various points.

The e-mail address of “Imagine that!!!’’ is imagine@hotmail.com NB! Don't forget to indicate your own e-mail address.
