Summaries from the brand background, customer materials, and dated FDD used for this episode.

The Launch Family Entertainment story.

Rob and Erin Arnold’s family experience helped spark Launch’s origins, with the first location opening in Warwick, Rhode Island, in 2012. The concept developed beyond its early trampoline-park format into broader family entertainment centers.

The customer experience.

Guests can combine active attractions, games, group events, and food during a visit. The attractions and packages vary with the approved park design and location.

The people and franchise concept.

The owner leads a large hospitality operation, with teams responsible for service, events, safety, and facilities. Training, park design guidance, operating systems, and opening support provide the franchise framework.

PUT THE FIGURES IN CONTEXT

A clearer picture behind the numbers.

Understand what the investment covers.

The FDD’s Item 7 gives an estimated initial investment of $3,141,548 to $6,232,089 (current-format Family Entertainment Center). The size, site, attractions and project scope affect the estimate. Legacy park formats have different investment characteristics.

FDD · Item 7

Current-format investment and historical parks differ.

The 2025 sales group contains 14 reporting franchised parks under the same ownership for the full year: ten adventure parks and four family entertainment centers. Cost and EBITDA information uses a smaller group. Historical mixed-format results are not a forecast for a new current-format center.

FDD · Item 19

Sales are not take-home income.

Reported revenue comes before the costs of running the business and is not owner profit. Historical results do not predict what a new owner will achieve. Use the current FDD to explore the expenses and operating assumptions relevant to your plans.
