When I heard about Launch and what they have to offer not only to the children but parents too, it really influenced my decision. Launch Entertainment fills a much-needed void in our community. I can’t wait to provide a safe, fun, and positive destination for everyone to enjoy and spend quality time together.”

My beliefs align seamlessly with Launch’s leadership team to always stay ahead of the curve. As the demands of customers change, Launch’s business model allows us to remain competitive and the number one choice for those seeking an exhilarating experience.”

Erin Arnold, Co-Founder of Launch Entertainment, Ranked Top 10 Admired Women in Franchises
WARWICK, R.I. – (March 10, 2022) – Launch Entertainment, a leading operator and franchisor of innovative, year-round family entertainment centers, is recognizing its Co-Founder and COO Erin Arnold in tribute to Women’s History Month.
Erin and her husband, Rob, founded Launch Entertainment in 2012. This exciting venture was inspired by a rainy trip to Disney World. Instead of being the family seeking entertainment in ponchos, Erin decided to search for indoor activities for the whole family to enjoy. This random Google search led them to a trampoline park where Erin’s vision was conceived. The husband-and-wife duo quickly began crunching the numbers to see if they could open their very own park in Rhode Island. A year after this trip the two opened their first Launch location with their signature trampolines, a concession stand, and five arcade games.
“When our family visited that trampoline park 10 years ago, it was such a new concept,” Erin said. “We were amazed at how much fun you can have together as a family with just a few trampolines. So I thought, why not bring one to Rhode Island? This vision quickly turned into a reality. When we opened our first location, the entire state of Rhode Island showed up, and that’s when we knew we had something special.”
What began as an innovative trampoline park quickly evolved into a massive, trailblazing family entertainment center with a wide variety of attractions and amenities for everyone including XP Arena, ninja courses, laser tag, bowling, trampolines, premium food and beverage service, and more.
Erin spearheaded the need to differentiate Launch Entertainment from the competition. Erin was always researching the next attraction to keep people moving while having a blast. She envisioned Launch Entertainment’s experience to be a mapped-out journey of fun. One of her many accomplishments includes Launch’s one-of-a-kind Krave restaurant. While everything is a team effort, Erin came up with the unique name and signature recipes Krave has to offer.
“One of our core values we live by is to under-promise and over-deliver,” Erin said. “We didn’t want to serve mediocre food. We wanted Krave to become a standalone restaurant. After many failed recipes and several Costco trips, it’s a success. We have customers come in just for the fresh, made-to-order, high-quality food we provide. It’s a great feeling to have people enjoy the amenities we have to offer and finish their day with a meal surrounded by loved ones.”
Currently, Launch has 25 family entertainment centers operating in 13 states across the nation, with more than 40 locations in the pipeline. As co-founder and chief operating officer, Erin oversees the day-to-day operational and administrative functions of the franchise. With a background in business and a love for fitness, she’s thrilled to continue growing her family’s brand so that others may create lifelong memories while remaining active and engaged.
“My entrepreneurial experience has allowed me to wear many hats throughout my career,” Erin said. “This has helped me learn the ropes and gain a better understanding of the operations and marketing sides of the business. Through this constant learning process, we are eager to continue improving Launch Entertainment in-house; and for the community we aim to serve.”
Since its inception, Launch Entertainment has rapidly expanded its presence across the nation and the franchise world. Launch was recognized as a leading franchise in Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500 ranking for four consecutive years. Most recently, Erin was highlighted in Aspioneer Business World magazine as one of 2021’s top 10 admired women in franchising.
“Erin is the most determined, passionate, creative, hardworking person I know,” said Rob Arnold, CEO of Launch Entertainment. “When she has a vision, she turns it into a reality. In this case — a family entertainment business that has changed our lives. There’s no other person I’d want as my wife and business partner. It has been an honor building this franchise together, and we can’t wait to see what the future has in store for Launch Entertainment.”

Innovative Family Entertainment Franchisee Transforms the Former Sky Zone on Turnpike Road in Westborough
Warwick, Road Island – (December 16, 2021) – Launch Entertainment, a leading operator and franchisor of year-round family entertainment centers, is proud to announce the acquisition of a Sky Zone to create its latest 30,000-square-foot, fun-filled experience in Westborough, MA.

Founded in 2012 by Rob and Erin Arnold, Launch has pioneered a different kind of family entertainment experience with a wide variety of attractions and amenities for all ages including XP Arena, ninja courses, laser tag, bowling, trampolines, Krave Restaurant, beverage service, and more.
The Westborough location is unique for the multi-unit franchisee. The facility was recently transitioned from what was once a Sky Zone into Launch Entertainment. Debin and his team gutted the building, transitioning the first-generation trampoline park into a jam-packed entertainment center with the latest features and amenities for consumers of all ages!
Debin is thrilled to welcome new guests at the Westborough location as they complete the finishing touches of the transformation. Visitors of all ages can find the latest Launch location at 290 Turnpike Road.

Between our four locations we will do thousands of birthday parties for children. A birthday party in a kid’s life is priceless. It’s an exciting day for the whole family, and being a part of something that special and bringing delight to families — there’s no better feeling than that.”
In addition to the four Launch locations already open for business across the state of Massachusetts, Debin has three more sites in development with the objective of opening a total of 7 locations.

The rapid growth Launch is experiencing in Massachusetts aligns with our objective to quickly expand across the nation. With Ryan’s tenacity in this industry, we know he will exceed our expectations and we look forward to his continued success.”
