In tough economic times it is crucial that franchisors acknowledge the current financial climate and readjust their business strategy accordingly. 
John Newton, founder of Jumping J-Jays Bounce Houses, has not only developed an award-winning home-based franchise system that is affordable, but one that provides franchisees flexibility with more time to spend with their family as it only requires 3 days a week!
Mr. Newton’s goal was to develop a franchise system that was truly affordable and based on his new 3-day-a-week business model. Franchisees deliver bounce houses every weekend with just 1 day a week spent doing local area marketing under the trusted guidance of the company’s Marketing Manager, Michael McNish.
Black Enterprise Magazine has now confirmed the company’s affordable position with a top 25 ranking in their most affordable franchise list. In addition to the low startup costs, Jumping J-Jays has even more benefits to offer franchisees:
- No shop rent
- No full-time staff
- No 7 day trading
- No out of date stock
- No perishables
- No working capital
African-Americans represent 50% of Jumping J-Jays franchisees in the USA with founder John Newton praising the diversity of franchisees cultures within the company world wide. Jumping J-Jays is now looking for more franchisees where the husband or male partner is looking for a change in their work life, and their wife or partner can maintain a full time income as they build the business.
Jumping J-Jays Franchises are only $19,000 plus stock! For more information please visit www.partycastles.com or call Chris Krell (877) 822-7853.

The Australian arm of Jumping J-Jays is collapsing due to Franchisees in general being unable to make any money out of the system. As a Franchisee you will work incredibly long hours on your weekends and will not make enough money to be able to pay for help and pay your loan back, in effect you find as the Australians have you will be a Slave for Jumping J-Jays.
Do some research and ask if you can contact details of the 30+ Franchisees that have walked away with nothing. There are not 60 Franchisees nor have there ever been, be warned.

Interesting as I am the Franchisor of jumping j-jays i see the budgets of all franchisees come into our office. Over 50% of franchisees had expenses less then 55% of Turnover. One of the highest profits in franchsing. Example: An Indoor inflatable centre has profits of about 15% of sales. Also over 50% of franchisees had revenuse of 100k plus, some exceeding $150k plus all by doing this business for 3 days a week. 5 franchisees did 15k just in FEB! Yes! it is the wekeends, yes! you are going to be using your hands, yes! you are hands-on, but shit add up the dollars and look at the bottom line. Jumping castles and bounce houses are rental items. They go out and come back. The J-Jays inflatables come with 4-5 year warranty, amazing and guess what, you are given every marketing tool you will ever need to complete the one day a week marketing that usually mum does Wednesday or Thursday. So I say again look at the real numbers and not that of disgruntled franchisees that have decided that a business that requires hands-on work was not for them. All the best everyone. Franchises from under $50k for 8 year franchise terms.
