Launch Dawsonville Experiencing Record Sales Through the First Quarter of 2022
DAWSONVILLE, Ga. – (May 10, 2022) – Launch Entertainment, a leading operator and franchisor of innovative, year-round family entertainment centers, is excited to highlight the success of the Dawsonville, Georgia, location. Opened in the summer of 2020 by husband-and-wife team Christina and Corey Stalnaker, Launch Dawsonville is now experiencing record sales. The success comes after Christina, a co-owner, assumed the role of General Manager in November. She made fundamental staff and protocol changes and raised the morale of the entire team.
“Obviously, 2020 was a tough time to start a new business, especially a business in the family entertainment space. We couldn’t have a classic grand opening, and it was tough to build momentum with government restrictions,” said Christina Stalnaker, Managing Owner of Launch Dawsonville. “When I took over, I wanted to bring some positivity to the leadership team and let our staff know the tough times wouldn’t last. 2022 has been amazing so far! You can feel an energy and excitement each time you enter the building.”
Launch Entertainment, headquartered in Warwick, Rhode Island, is one of the fastest-growing family recreation movements in the United States. The state-of-the-art family entertainment center franchise was founded in 2012 by Rob and Erin Arnold. Launch offers a differentiated entertainment experience with a wide variety of attractions and amenities for all ages.
Christina and Corey decided to bring Launch to Dawsonville because of a lack of entertainment options for children in the area. As parents of three children of their own, they recognized the need, and are thrilled families now have the opportunity to fully take advantage of the addition to the community.
“We live in this community, so our customers are also our neighbors,” said Christina Stalnaker. “We are getting great feedback from local families.”
As residents of the area, the Stalnaker family realizes the value of a fun-filled experience with a great atmosphere to celebrate birthdays, family gatherings, church events, work outings, or just a date night that everyone from all walks of life can enjoy. Launch Entertainment is a service-based, high-margin business that drives repeat customers by going above and beyond what most family entertainment concepts offer.
“We are so grateful to have the Stalnakers in the Launch family. They opened their doors during an unprecedented time and have always navigated any and all challenges gracefully and with positive attitudes. They have come out the other side stronger and successfully.” said Launch CEO Rob Arnold. “Corey and Christina are great communicators, and when faced with challenges they were not exactly sure how to navigate, they never hesitated to reach out. Our team worked side by side with them then and now to help ensure their success. It’s franchisees like Corey and Christina that make our franchise strong and something to be proud to be a part of.”
Launch currently has 28 family entertainment centers open for business in 13 states across the nation. The rapid expansion of the family entertainment franchise continues by the hour, with numerous other locations in various stages of development.

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.”
