Flip Out is the largest trampoline park operator in Europe with over 70 parks now open and the largest arena in the world. We started as an Australian sensation back in 2012 and have since become the fastest-growing operator in the world, with 45 parks in development.
The Flip Out aim is simple – to deliver massive amounts of healthy, awesome fun. We have the biggest trampolines, stunt box zones, ball games, resident DJs and loads of special events. Not to mention parties, fitness sessions and classes for all ages and abilities. It’s no wonder we regularly attract professional trampolinists, free runners, circus artists and gymnasts, who are all part of the friendly Flip Out community.
The operational manuals, marketing and business plan clearly show you the way to operate properly and so keep your trampoline park crowded every day of the week. Our POS system, online booking, waiver system and souvenirs will make the best experience of this business for the franchisee and its customers.
Innovation and safety are #1. Flip Out trampolines are custom-made to the highest standard, allowing them to withstand commercial use. Each one is manufactured using water-resistant materials designed for indoor and outdoor use – perfect for Flip Out multi-climate entertainment experiences.
Arenas are made up of several trampolines which are fastened securely to the foundations to make jumping safer for all levels and abilities. Our best-in-class safety engineering is supported with regular checks to ensure the highest safety levels are always met.
Flip Out has factories in Poland, Mexico and Thailand. Being able to control equipment manufacturing means that we are also able to maintain our world-class standards and keep costs down. Come and join Flip Out in its early days of world domination!
Meet our CEO, Brent Grundy
• How did Flip Out begin?
Flip Out began when I saw a gap in the market. I was waiting for my son at a soft play centre when I realised half the people in the room weren’t allowed to take part. I wanted to create something that took those barriers away, something everyone could join in, and everyone could have fun doing.
Why do you think it has become so successful?
I think when you are passionate and driven, you can make smart choices to become successful. We choose carefully who we work with, so the team is focused and ambitious, constantly pushing the boundaries and looking forward.
What is different about Flip Out and other, similar parks?
We have our own manufacturing facilities based in Europe, our supply chain is both innovative and efficient and allows us so much more flexibility in terms of both the offering and the high level of safety. Our mixed-use arenas incorporate not just trampolines but Parkour equipment, Ninja courses, climbing walls and other bespoke elements unique to Flip Out that help us appeal to audiences from 2 to 80+. We don’t follow, we create.
What advice would you give to franchisees?
Don’t be scared to take a calculated risk. Make sure you 100% trust the people you are working with and don’t settle for second best.
What’s a ‘typical’ day like for you?
One of the best things about what I do is the variety. There is no such thing as a typical day for me. One day I could be talking to a room full of potential investors, the next I could be being filmed jumping at one of our arenas, then heading to a tasting for our new energy drink before the first products are released.
What is your favourite part of the job?
Definitely coming up with new ideas for Flip Out. Innovation and adventurous spirit are at the heart of our business and keep customers engaged and coming back, time and time again.
What does the future hold?
We already have more than 70 sites worldwide. We’re about to launch in the US and Canada. It’s an exciting time for the fastest growing trampoline brand in the world. Why not be part of the future of Flip Out and find out about the incredible opportunities available with us?
