Strategic Leisure
began work with Rocketown, a not-for-profit organization founded
by Christian music star Michael
W. Smith, in May of 2000. Gaylord Entertainment had recommended
Strategic Leisure and provided partial funding for Strategic Leisure's
work. The task was to develop a business plan for a self-sustaining
destination for teens.
Once Strategic Leisure identified the requisite effort needed to
properly complete the Business Strategy and provide Rocketown the
appropriate business tools upon which to proceed, the Company consciously
chose to significantly contribute additional consulting, beyond
that being paid for by Gaylord Entertainment. Both the need and
the promise for teens across America are far too great to be left
inadequately met.
Strategic Leisure's
Business Strategy for Rocketown, the first of which will be located
in Nashville, Tennessee, included preliminary market research and
attendance projections; capacity, spending and peak demand analysis;
operating strategy and cash flow models; conceptual floor plans
and "cheap chic" collages visualizing materials and design
techniques .
Rocketown is
a 30,000 SF teens destination Subsequent to Strategic Leisure's
Business Strategy being completed, Rocketown successfully raised
more than $4.5 million to develop the facility.
Rocketown
is a monitored, managed medium
for growth, projecting the requisite
amplitude of attitude, as it is
wrapped in the décor of very safe danger.
Rocketown
is a clubhouse consulate,
an empathetic embassy facilitating a vacation from
both fading childhood and pending adulthood.
