Unique opportunity to own a franchise based in the DC metro area that provides the ultimate inflatable park experience. This business is much more than just renting a bounce house in the backyard for a day. In fact, their installations can occupy parking lots providing up to 25,000 square feet of fun and enjoyment for thousands of people over a period of weeks or even months. Due to the nature of the installations and the time involved in setting up and take down the apparatuses, most clients who contract with the company do so for a longer period of time. The clients who set up these expansive amusement experiences are commonly shopping malls, fairs, carnivals or businesses looking to attract customers to their events.

The two owners of this franchise originally started up in 2023 in North Carolina, but they moved the franchise to the suburban Maryland market and this is where it has operated from since 2024. Since then both owners have had to relocate out of the DC area and this is why they have decided to sell their franchise. The owners have employed managers at various points during the season to oversee the onsite setup and running of the installations so this would be an option for an owner who wants to run the business on a semi-absentee basis.

There can be a seasonal element to the business making this ideal for someone who can accommodate that type of schedule with a majority of the installations being active in the spring and summer months. It is a great time to get started with this type of business with the busy months of 2025 just around the corner. The markets currently served continue to grow in population and the opportunity for expansion is significant. The ownership team is very experienced in this line of work and will train and assist the new owner as they get started.

The franchise has an excellent reputation and is growing with new franchises being added all over the country. There are limited competitors providing this level of experience, making this is an attractive way to enter the industry without the headaches and time of staring a new business from scratch. The estimated start-up costs for this specific franchise in 2023 came out to $650,000 so this presents an opportunity to take over a relatively new franchise and an attractive valuation.
