URBAN AIR ADVENTURE PARK franchise in North Carolina: what the public record shows

Franchisees of URBAN AIR ADVENTURE PARK in North Carolina have taken 5 SBA loans since 1991 (average $3,578,600)— too few resolved loans in-state to publish a local failure rate (we require a resolved cohort, never extrapolate), so the brand's national rate of 5.7% is the better guide.

A crowded market is usually proven demand; an empty one is often empty for a reason.
