Monster Mini Golf

Personal services

Monster Mini Golf's 2026 FDD names a Chief Finance and Development Officer and a Marketing Director, and Item 11 sets its technology requirements, so purchasing signals run through those HQ roles rather than a named vendor. With 37 units growing 36% year over year, the brand is expanding fast.

The vendor opportunity at Monster Mini Golf

Monster Mini Golf runs 37 personal-services units out of North Carolina — 34 franchised, 3 company-owned — per the 2026 FDD, with unit count up 36% year over year. Item 19 makes a financial performance representation, and the brand operates as part of Multiplying Monsters.

Who controls software purchasing

Item 2 names four officers: CEO Christopher Larry King, Chief Finance and Development Officer Nicholas Mastrandrea, Jr., Chief Legal Officer Holly Hernandez, and Marketing Director Martin Farrell. The Finance and Development role and the Marketing Director are the two most relevant contacts for an operational-tech or marketing-tech pitch. The mapped operator base is small — 8 operators, only 1 running more than one unit — and concentrated in Virginia (3), with single units in Washington, Tennessee and South Carolina.

Tech named in the FDD, and what is actually required

This filing's technology disclosure names no system. Item 11 of the FDD is where Monster Mini Golf would set any point-of-sale, booking or operational technology requirement; a vendor pitching this brand should read that item directly in the filing below.

Procurement, renewals, and timing

Item 8 sets an approved-supplier list: many products and services must come from suppliers approved under the Operations Manual, some items must meet franchisor specifications, and the franchisor may designate itself or affiliates as the sole approved source for certain items. Franchisees may propose a supplier for approval. Item 17 allows up to three additional 5-year renewal terms after the 5-year initial term, subject to compliance, capital-expenditure and training conditions and a new franchise agreement.
