    About Bounce Party Entertainment Center

    NO LONGER FRANCHISING

    An Incredible, Inflatable Experience, Bounce Party is a fun, safe, supervised indoor arena featuring eight great interactive inflatable structures that create a party experience you and your guests will never forget. Bounce Party is an ideal venue for any event where the goal is simply to have fun in a memorable PRIVATE party setting. The idea for the development of Bounce Party Entertainment Center became conceptualized in early 2003 by Bob and Karen Pero. Our desire was to create a party environment that removed any work or worry for the guests. We desired to create a facility where parents could play with their children in a fun and active way. We also desired to create a facility where teens and adults could be comfortable in a private environment being a "kid" again. We knew we did not want to have any video type equipment - just good old-fashioned play!

Now, you will have the opportunity to be the first to bring this revolutionary experience to your city. Request information now to get in on the ground floor of this brand new medium.

    Sandbox Experiences aren’t just designed to be fun to experience, they are designed to be social and fun to watch from the ground up.

    The total estimated investment necessary to begin operation of a Sandbox VR franchise ranges from $777,000 to $1,075,000, including $360,000 to $400,000 that must be paid to the franchisor and/or their affiliates.
    If you enter into a Multi-Unit Development Agreement, you will pay a per location development fee equal to $50,000 for the first two locations and $40,000 for each additional location in lieu of initial franchise fees.
    The estimated initial investment to enter into a Multi-Unit Development Agreement will depend on the number of Sandbox VR franchises to be developed.
