Premium billiard hall brand Jakdang announced on the 3rd that it has confirmed its entry into 'Jakdang Billiard Hall Busan Jeonggwan Branch.' The Busan Jeonggwan branch is a case where the building owner directly franchises the store.
According to Jakdang Billiard Hall, starting a billiard hall is a business type that is not affected by floor level or commercial district, making it an optimized startup item targeting vacant high floors in buildings.
In particular, Jakdang is a verified billiard hall brand with the most stores nationwide, promoting 'cost-effective premium,' and inquiries from prospective franchisees considering starting a billiard hall continue to come in.
In response, CEO Lee Tae-ho stated, "By having the premium billiard hall enter vacant spaces within the building first, there are many cases where vacancies on other floors follow suit. In a way, Jakdang Billiard Hall's entry acts as a 'key tenant,' and it is true that many inquiries come from building owners and commercial landlords who want to directly open billiard halls in vacant spaces."
It is evaluated that Jakdang Billiard Hall is suitable as a 'point store' for building owners and commercial landlords to directly resolve vacancies through reasonable initial investment.
As an actual case, Jakdang Billiard Hall recently signed franchise contracts in advance for location preemption even before the buildings were completed, using the billiard hall's entry as a promotional point to attract tenants on other floors.
Jakdang also stated that the number of 'pre-franchise' cases, where the Jakdang brand is confirmed before construction and designed to fit the billiard hall, has been steadily increasing recently.
Meanwhile, Jakdang Billiard Hall Busan Jeonggwan Branch is a large store of about 200 pyeong and is scheduled to open early next month.
