FunBox is a fast-growing inflatable amusement park franchise that was founded in 2017 in Southern California. The company is headquartered in Westlake Village, California, with additional offices in Phoenix, Miami, and Madrid.

FunBox began franchising in 2022 and has quickly expanded, now operating over 40 locations across the United States and Western Europe.

The franchise offers large-scale inflatable bounce parks that feature obstacle courses, slides, ninja walls, toddler zones, and interactive elements like DJ booths. FunBox is designed to provide immersive and active entertainment for families and children.

FunBox differentiates itself by branding its parks as the “world’s biggest bounce parks,” emphasizing size and spectacle. Its parks are modular and can be set up in both indoor malls and outdoor venues, giving franchisees flexibility.

Training

FunBox offers a structured training program designed to equip franchisees and their teams with the necessary knowledge and skills to operate their parks effectively.

1. Initial Mandatory Training: This consists of online and telephone-based training covering topics like marketing, website management, inflatable safety, park opening, and party management. Franchisees and up to four managers/employees must complete the training before the park opens.
2. Pre-Opening Support: FunBox provides a trainer for one workday at the franchise location to assist with employee training, software use, decor setup, and merchandise display. This support is included without charge, but travel and accommodation costs must be covered by the franchisee.
3. Supplemental Training: Additional online or in-person training is available upon request with 30 days’ notice, at the franchisee’s expense. This includes site visits and operational shadowing at other franchises.
4. Annual Seminars: Franchisees and designated managers must attend up to 12 hours of training programs or seminars each year, focusing on updated operational methods and policies. Attendance is mandatory and expenses are borne by the franchisee.

Territory Protection

FunBox grants franchisees a defined "Franchise Territory" within which no other FunBox Outdoor or Indoor Park may operate. This territory is typically determined using zip codes, political boundaries, or mapped areas agreed upon in the Franchise Agreement.

The franchisor commits not to establish or license another FunBox facility within this territory as long as the franchisee is in compliance and the agreement is in effect. However, the protection is not absolute.

FunBox reserves the right to sell services and products through other channels, such as online platforms or alternate brands, which may compete within the same geographic region.
