Why Launch Entertainment is the Top Family-Friendly Franchise Opportunity
Family entertainment is evolving, and Launch Entertainment is the player to watch! Our concept is a premier full-service family entertainment franchise, offering a prime opportunity for seasoned, multi-unit operators looking to diversify and grow their portfolios.
Breaking the Mold
Launch is much more than a trampoline park. Each location features a full arcade, bowling, obstacle courses, climbing walls, laser tag, battle pits, and more. Our innovative attraction mix allows guests to completely customize their visit, showcasing just how Launch outpaces the competition.
Let’s break it down further. According to Statista, arcades alone brought in $18.64 billion in 2023. Launch is leveraging the popularity of arcades to keep families and other groups coming through your doors year-round!
Even further, one of today’s most popular tech-based attractions is virtual reality, like our Omniverse VR Arena! This attraction takes guests into a lifelike world on omnidirectional treadmills that allow them to walk, run, and rotate in 360 degrees as they explore, keeping your park on trend with lasting value.
Launch’s diverse range of attractions creates a win-win scenario for our guests and operators. Our parks are an ideal place for kids and adults alike to participate in active entertainment, and the wide customer age range creates ample revenue opportunities with activities available year-round. Birthday parties, summer camps, corporate events, and other gatherings are just some of the revenue drivers for Launch, and could be in your community, too!
Added QSR Value
Launch is no stranger to the “Eater-tainment” boom, where dining meets entertainment in one epic experience. Millennials and Gen Z crave social spaces to gather, play, and enjoy quality food. Our in-house Krave restaurant and Bar Hops keep guests fueled and eliminate the need to leave your park to find food and beverage options, opening additonal revenue channels for franchise owners.
Those in the QSR franchise industry often find that their experience managing high-traffic, fast-paced environments translates easily into operating a Launch location.
Semi-Absentee Model Opens Avenues for Other Projects
What truly sets Launch apart is its semi-absentee ownership model. Franchise owners can oversee additional ventures while a dedicated management team runs your Launch location. With state-of-the-art tech, you can even monitor park sales and data remotely. Our in-house marketing team handles all the heavy lifting, so you don’t have to!
Many Launch Entertainment operators own several other concepts in their market. Take it from Launch’s largest operator, Ryan Debin, who found his personal values and professional background in real estate aligned perfectly with Launch’s business model.
Thriving Industry Outlook
The family entertainment industry is set to hit $88.7 billion by 2032! Launch’s franchise growth initiative is backed by a strategic investment from Silver Oak Services Partners, boosting our ability to support franchisees, expand rapidly, and tap into the industry’s potential.
On a day-to-day basis, you’ll receive ongoing support from our stacked executive team, who pack over 50 years of combined experience to ensure operators have all the tools they need — think market evaluations, project management, tailored marketing strategies, and more.
