Who we are
The Koalakrane franchise system forms Australasia's largest operator of coin operated amusement crane machines. With over 100 franchisees and more than 140 established territories completely filling New Zealand and a large portion of Australia, we are the leaders and the innovators in this exciting timeless industry. Koalakrane has been successfully franchising for 14 years and we have established a solid, proven and profitable franchise system that's flexible in size and investment levels. We are also pleased to advise that Koalakrane is a current member of the Franchise Council of Australia (FCA).
Who are our franchisees?
Our franchisees are friendly, enthusiastic and motivated people with a genuine interest in building and maintaining positive relationships with their location owners and patrons.
• Some of our franchisees that first started with us 15 years ago are still with us today.
• Many of our franchisees haven't stopped at owning one franchise, but have purchased two or three additional neighbouring franchises.
• Our franchisees are our best salespeople - as your interest progresses we encourage you to contact any one of our franchise owners in Australia or New Zealand.
What we need from you?
Franchisees need to be self motivated, with attention to detail in order to keep the machines in top condition. In addition you will need to be unafraid to approach new locations to place machines in the future (or employ someone to do this for you) An outgoing, friendly personality is important as you will be visiting locations and talking with people during your service visits.
