Franchise Activity

Jumping J-Jays Castles & Slides were founded by John and Jane Newton in 1997 to provide an extensive range of quality children's inflatable’s for backyard parties.

Franchised in 2000, today it is the largest jumping castle franchise business in the world, with more than 1000 inflatable’s distributed among 58 franchises across Australia and 3 in New Zealand. The inflatables vary in size, theme and design, which include combos and interactives. New shipments are expected in September 2006 showcasing a new product range.

The target is 80 jumping castle franchise partners operating in both metropolitan and regional Australia and all major cities in New Zealand.

In 2003 and 2004, Mr. Newton was awarded by the Franchise Council of Australia as Franchisor of the Year for home-based and mobile, 0-20 outlets category, and was appointed by the Orlando, Florida based International Inflatable Products and Games Association (IIPGA) as its first International Board of Directors member.

The company's growth was recognized in 2004 and 2005 by the inclusion of the jumping castle franchise into Australia's top 100 fastest growing companies by Business Review Weekly Magazine. In 2005 Jumping J-Jays was ranked by BRW as the 15th fastest growing franchise in Australia. In 2006 it was ranked by BRW in the Top 100 hottest franchise system in Australia and in the top 5 service franchise systems.

A Fun Business with Great Demand

Jumping J-Jays has no sizeable competition. Our inflatable castles fill the massive demand for an affordable, fun, and safe party or event experience for children in your community. A true niche business with little overhead and no rent, this is a great business for anyone who loves children. And we offer more than just basic jumping castles! Jumping J-Jays has designed and developed the combo inflatable and the new active inflatable. We research and develop our products to be the cutting edge of excitement for kid's entertainment. Inflatable fencing, our proprietary patented equipment, allows an inflatable fence to be attached to all castles to allow better containment and safety.

Why Choose to Purchase a Jumping J-Jays Franchise?

  • No Shop Rent: On average you will pay 15-25% of your turnover to a Landlord regardless of whether you are busy or quiet. In most businesses this is your biggest expenditure and one that is out of your control.
  • No Staff: The business requires just the franchisee to set up and pull down the castles.
  • No 7 Day Trading: This is a weekend business that does not require you to work it 7 days a week. The centralized booking office takes all your calls.
    No Perishables: Did you know that most food based franchisees throw away 6-8% of their budget in wasted or unused food.
  • No Out of Date Stock: Our themes do not date and are not tied to movies that are quickly forgotten. The castles are guaranteed to last over 5 years give exception ROI.
  • No Working Capital: All the bookings and revenue come to you for processing.
  • No Need to Give Up Your Day job
In fact, we want you to keep your day job as you start to build your business. A lot of people like their job and want to build on this. Our business allows you to keep your income from your day job to pay your bills and mortgage. It also allows you to pay your loans off quicker and re-invest back in your business.

Your Investment for a Brand New Franchise is only $30,000 plus stock (stock financed at $14,000 per year over 5 years) or a PRELOVED franchise at $30,000 plus stock ($13,000 per year for 3 years).

This includes every piece of equipment you need for the business from the castles, trailer, racking for your garage, home & car signage through to all repair and cleaning kits. There will be nothing more you need to buy or spend on equipment.


PRELOVED franchise – NEW OPPORTUNITY

An incredible opportunity exists in just 6 territories across Australia where we have new 8-year Franchise Agreement available with 12 pre-loved inflatable castle packages. What this means to you is that you can now get into the Jumping J-Jays business for as little as $69,000 including everything from a trailer to the new Patented Falling Floor castles. See our website for more details.

Day to Day Business Effort…

  • Invoice and collect money for about 12 bookings a week
  • Deliver 5-6 castles on Saturday & Sunday (20 minutes to install)
  • 1 mid week day each week in local area marketing.
  • Working Weekends…
As a Jumping J-Jays owner, you will be setting up back yard inflatable castles on Saturdays and Sundays. Generally, you will set up in the morning and after a few hours back at home you will return to pick up your castles. Each delivery takes around 20 minutes. Your morning starts loading your trailer or van with the day's deliveries. You will have coordinated your route the evening before by reviewing your bookings on the Jumping J-Jays secure intranet. An average of 5-6 deliveries will take approximately 3 hours in the morning and again the same to pick them up. An exclusive territory will be yours to service with 12 castles (typical franchise) of varying themes to start with. One sub contractor installer may be needed to help you with deliveries and service in busy periods. When there is the prospect of rain you will utilize the castles’ rain covers, provided to the customer free of charge. As your business grows and you increase your stock of castles you may step back from installations and work the business as a manager.
