Rockin' Jump

Investing six or seven figures in a franchise is a major financial decision, and active family entertainment combines high revenue potential with substantial build out costs. Rockin Jump serves families with children ages 5 to 16 who want supervised, physical entertainment for groups with different ages and fitness levels. Bowling alleys generally appeal to older customers, soft play gyms to younger children, and movie theaters offer passive experiences. Andrew and Sue Wilson and Marc and Michelle Collopy founded Rockin Jump in 2010 after an unsatisfactory visit to an existing trampoline park convinced them the concept had potential but needed better execution. The first park opened in Dublin, California in May 2011, and headquarters are in Pleasanton, California. The franchise program began in 2013. By 2016, the company had 26 United States parks and one location in Thailand, and by 2021 it had 41 United States locations. Its registered trademark, "Safe. Clean. Fun.," reflects a focus on safety and cleanliness. Marc Collopy is Co Founder and EVP of Franchise Sales and has also been identified as CEO. Drew Wilson is Co Founder and President, with responsibility for long term vision and park viability.

The global indoor amusement center market was estimated at $54.73 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach $121.54 billion by 2033, with a compound annual growth rate of 10.9% from 2026 through 2033. North America held 39.3% of global revenue in 2025, making the United States the largest geographic market in this category. The global trampoline park market is projected to reach $1,890.9 million in 2025, with a 17.6% CAGR. Parents continue to seek active alternatives to childhood obesity and sedentary screen use. Families also continue to favor physical, social, out of home activities after the pandemic, including shared experiences over material purchases. Birthday parties and group events can create recurring demand because families may repeat successful celebrations each year. The trampoline park segment remains moderately fragmented, leaving territory opportunities in markets with limited penetration. These market conditions support evaluating a Rockin Jump investment over a five to ten year period.

Rockin Jump requires a premium initial investment because a full park may include foam pits, dodgeball courts, and multiple jump zones. Franchise fees have appeared at $50,000 and $60,000 in different FDD versions. One version listed a $25,000 fee and made the first $500,000 in first year revenue royalty free, an effective savings of approximately $30,000 for a franchisee reaching that threshold. Reported total initial investment ranges across FDD versions run from approximately $694,850 to $2,907,500. Another commonly cited range is $1,143,000 to $2,907,500. Costs include the property, construction and setup, trampolines and foam pits, pre opening training, and initial marketing. The royalty is 6% of gross revenue, while the national advertising fund requires 2% of gross revenue, before local marketing expenses. Franchisees need $400,000 to $500,000 in liquid assets per park and a minimum net worth of $1 million or more. Working capital is estimated at $100,000 to $150,000 beyond build out costs. Rockin Jump has used CenterEdge Software for point of sale, reservations, ticketing, and waiver management across operating locations. The company also reports more than $100,000 invested in proprietary data analytics for site selection. Buyers should assess SBA loan options and other financing sources, then test debt service against realistic revenue timing.

Operating a Rockin Jump park requires active management, especially during the early years. Staffing covers safety monitoring, front desk work, party hosting, concessions, and cleaning through a mix of part time and full time employees. Company materials seek franchisees with experience in Human Resources, Finance, and Operations, along with interest in family entertainment and community involvement. Initial training totals 118 hours, including 6 classroom hours and 112 hours of on the job training. The company describes this as the most extensive training course in the trampoline park industry and states that graduates should be able to run daily operations more effectively than their current staff. Continuing support includes operations, HR materials, park design and construction, location analysis, and print and digital marketing materials. CenterEdge provides a common system for jump time sales, parties and group events, concessions, online transactions, reservations, and liability waivers. A vendor program seeks purchasing savings, while the company's marketing approach combines in park branding with digital and community outreach. Territory exclusivity is available, and the company has historically analyzed markets before a lease is signed.

Earlier FDDs provide historical context. These locations were company operated or closely monitored and served high income California markets, so they may outperform a typical park in a secondary market. Results are also affected by lease rates, labor conditions, population density, household income, and the operator's ability to manage parties and group bookings, which often carry higher margins than open jump traffic. The 17.6% trampoline park CAGR provides a market growth reference, but investors should obtain the current FDD, contact listed franchisees, and commission independent financial modeling.

Rockin Jump grew from no franchised locations when the franchise launched in 2013 to 26 open United States parks by April 2016, 31 by February 2017, and 41 locations by 2021. As of 2026, the network includes 39 United States locations, a modest decline from the 2021 peak. In February 2017, the company projected more than 130 United States parks and 50 international parks by 2020, but that target was not reached, in part because pandemic disruptions affected in person entertainment businesses worldwide beginning in 2020. Thailand remains the only international market identified outside the United States. The company has sold more than 50 additional locations in various development or construction stages. Its more than $100,000 investment in site selection analytics reflects the importance of location, while the "Safe. Clean. Fun." positioning addresses safety concerns in the category. CenterEdge integration supports consistent technology and customer data across the system.

The target franchisee is a hands on business manager with operating experience, $400,000 to $500,000 in liquid capital, and net worth exceeding $1 million. The opportunity may suit experienced operators, multi unit restaurant or entertainment franchisees, and executives with backgrounds in operations, HR, or finance. Community engagement and customer focus matter because local relationships with schools, youth sports organizations, church groups, and birthday party networks can affect performance. Exclusive geographic territories are provided, and site selection considers population density, household income, and competition. Construction, permitting, equipment installation, and training generally take six to twelve months, depending on the building and local regulations. The West has historically had the highest concentration of locations. In the 2020 FDD, 15 of 34 United States locations were spread across 15 states concentrated in Western markets. The brand's California roots may have supported recruitment and awareness there, leaving potential growth areas in the Midwest, Southeast, and Mid Atlantic. Qualified operators may pursue multi unit development agreements.

Rockin Jump offers a franchise model in a fast growing portion of the indoor amusement market, but the capital requirement and operating demands require careful review. The trampoline park segment has a 17.6% CAGR, while the broader indoor amusement market is projected to grow from $54.73 billion in 2025 to $121.54 billion by 2033. Buyers should speak with current and former franchisees, review the complete FDD with a qualified franchise attorney, and test several revenue cases before committing $1.1 million to $2.9 million.
