Elevator pitch: Bulldozers. Excavators. Wheel Loaders. At Extreme Sandbox, we see adults live out their wildest childhood dreams by letting them play with construction equipment on our 10-acre "sandbox." We did $800k+ in sales in 2017 because there's no other place where a person can drive a bulldozer, crush a car, and then finish off with a ride in our fire truck. Perfect for young and old, men and women, individuals and corporate groups, we've grown to 3 locations and want to keep expanding nationally.

FAQ:
- Q: AGAIN I ASK ! WHY NOT COSTA RICA. I HAVE 500 ACRES ON THE PAN AMERICAN HIGHWAY, 1 HOUR NORTH OF PANAMA, YOU SAY THAT YOU CAN DO A NEW VENTURE FOR $250,000, I HAVE THAT MUCH EXPENDABLE CASH TO ASSIST. WHY NOT TRY A JUNGLE EXPERIENCE, WILD ANIMALS AND A WATER FALLS AS WELL. LIKE...
  A: Hi John - LOVE the enthusiasm! And definitely wouldn't rule out international expansion, but at this point we are focusing our expansion within the US. Additionally, a large portion of our revenue is generated from corporate team building events so we look for sites within 30-45 mins of major metro areas. With that said, would still love to have you on board so thank you for considering investing in Extreme Sandbox.
- Q: How can I make money on this investment?
  A: Hi Dave - excellent question. While this is a convertible note that does earn a moderate interest rate of 8%, ultimately we would expect that the note would be converted to equity shares within the 24 month term. Beyond that point, we would expect that as the company grows there would be dividends paid out to shareholders in cash OR options to reinvest in additional shares. Obviously are goal is to continue to grow the brand with additional locations and offerings. So as an investor, I would ...
- Q: In the listing you state the average individual probably spends $300-500. Why so vague?
  A: Hi Andrew - thank you for the question. Definitely not trying to be vague, but generally we just try to illustrate what our top packages are (what our customers are paying). The 3 most popular range from the $295 (Classic Sandbox), $395 (Dueling Adventures), to the $495 (Ultimate Sandbox). So we generally try and illustrate that most clients spend $300-$500 depending on which of these most popular packages they select. If we looked at he exact count of individual packages sold divided by the ...
- Q: Where would any new locations be? Please list all cities you plan to or want to open a new location in. Thanks!
  A: Hi Austin - ultimately we would like to see 20-30 sandbox locations across the country within 5-10 years (aggressive but doable). Our ultimate revenue driver is corporate team building events, so generally we look for major metros (>2M population) with healthy corporate cultures. There are about 35 metro areas in the US that have populations over 2 million so those are most likely the markets we will select from. On top of that, we generally go to markets that we either have leads from OR ...
- Q: Hi Sir, When market is doing good, no problem with revenues (companies can spend). When in recession, from my understanding companies try to cut costs and that may have impact on extreme sandbox revenues. What are your plans for recession times? Thank you
  A: Hi Kishore - great question. This is exactly why we have diversified our offerings so we don't solely rely on one revenue stream. We have 3 primary markets for revenue: 1. Corporate Team Building - even within this channel we have diversified with multiple offerings, so we have both fun "social team gatherings" AND "formal team training" type events. We have found that even in economic downturns, companies may cut back on the fun, outside the office, team events but usually HR teams still nee...
