Launch Entertainment Expands Florida Presence with New Location
Father and Son Duo Sign Lease for Family Entertainment Park in Pensacola
PENSACOLA, Fla. – Launch Entertainment (Launch), a leading family entertainment franchise, has signed a lease for its newest park in Pensacola, located at 8102 N. Davis Highway in the Ferry Pass Plaza. Expected to open in September 2026, the new 31,000-square-foot venue will mark Launch’s fourth Florida location, further reinforcing the brand’s growth throughout the state.
The Pensacola Park is led by local father-and-son team, John and Jeremy Reams. Jeremy, a U.S. Army Veteran and experienced program manager, brings strong leadership and team management expertise to the business, while John will assist in daily operations. They share a commitment to creating a welcoming entertainment space for families across Escambia and Santa Rosa counties.
“From the moment I experienced Launch with my kids, I knew it was a concept that would thrive in Pensacola,” said Jeremy Reams. “It blends fun, family, and opportunity in a way that few places do. We are building something that will bring people together, create memories, and strengthen the sense of community that makes this area so special.”
The new park will feature a variety of attractions, including bowling, arcade games, indoor trampolines, obstacle courses, air track, and more. Guests can also enjoy food and beverages from Launch’s Krave restaurant and bar, creating a versatile all-in-one destination for family fun, group events, and more.
“At Launch Entertainment, we look for partners who care deeply about their communities, and Jeremy and John fit that perfectly,” said Craig Erlich, Chief Executive Officer at Launch Entertainment. “Their background and passion for creating a welcoming place for families make them an incredible addition to our growing system. We can’t wait to see the positive impact they will have in Pensacola.”
The Launch Entertainment business model offers a scalable, multi-unit growth opportunity within the family entertainment space. Designed to deliver a fun and dynamic guest experience, Launch attracts a broad demographic through its wide range of attractions and amenities. The brand is actively targeting expansion in both new and existing markets across the Midwest, Northeast, and Southwest, with a current focus on Georgia, Texas, Ohio, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Connecticut, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Alabama, New Jersey, Kansas, and Missouri. Launch is seeking franchise partners with the operational capabilities and financial qualifications to develop multiple locations—ideally, individuals with a liquid capital of $800,000 and a net worth of $2.5 million or more.
