First Location IN
TEXAS
Lowell, MA – May 7,
2009. JOI Franchising, LLC, a Lowell, MA-based company in the
child entertainment industry, has announced that it has signed a
contract with a Regional Developer to open a minimum of six new
Jump On In locations in the state of Texas. The first Texas
location is slated to open in Sugar Land, TX, a suburb of
Houston. This first Texas location will mark the sixth Jump On
In location to open since the original Lowell, MA facility opened
in January 2005. The new facility, which is not yet open, will
include over 11,000 square feet of slides, obstacle courses,
trampoline basketball, table games and bouncers. Jump On In
specializes in party facilities offering private, athletic parties
to children in a safe, clean
environment.
Kevin Lynch, the President of JOI
Franchising, LLC, said, “We’re extremely happy to
announce that concurrent with the signing of the franchise
agreement for Sugar Land, we’ve also signed our first
regional developer deal. This will allow us to have a member
of our team on-site in Texas who will be responsible for growing
the Jump On In brand in the state. Our new developer, Carol
Sumrall, is an excellent addition to the Jump On In team and brings
a wealth of experience to the table for us. Texas is a big
state and we’re expecting big things from Carol. The
Texas locations represent the next step in continuing to bring our
fun, athletic and exciting concept to children
nationwide.”
New Summer
Programs:
Jump On In also announced that it has
launched a new program called “Jump &
Learn”. Jump & Learn is a fun program that includes
jumping combined with a learning session including hands-on
activities such as live animal shows, fun science experiments, or
creative art projects! Before and after the learning activity,
the children will go into the location’s gyms for an active
period of jumping and physical activity. “We’re
expecting this program to become very popular as we introduce it
into our locations,” said Lynch. “It provides an
opportunity for parents to give their child a fun, active and
enriching activity during summer vacations and other non-school
periods.” The program is expected to consist of 3-day
sessions with three hours of activity planned for each
day.
