party palace?? (Dallas, Plano, Keller: receptions, houses, weddings)

[liftman]

A few buddies and I are thinking about starting a company in the Haslet or Saginaw area that would have batting cages and party rooms with the inflatable bounce house games. Does any one think this would be a profitable idea in this growing market?? We would also do in home birthday party planning where we bring the food and games and then clean up for the people. Very worry free for the host parents.

Well in Haslet you would definately do well because there isn't much there . We are in Saginaw now and moving out to Haslet area. I think that the batting cages would do really well.

Are you talking about delivering bounce houses or having a location with them for parents and families to come to? I know that they have something in Lake Worth and something in Keller, so hopefully you will get a lot of response for your market research.

I know we would probably go

There are several of the indoor party places in the Dallas area that have the bounce houses and party rooms. They do very well. Some are better than others. One was in Plano on Ave K and it was okay. There is another one in Dallas on Forest Ln called Pump It Up and they are pretty good and my kids have been to several there. One of our good friends owns a company that does parties and the bounce houses and inflatible games (he also makes them). It is A LOT of work. You need more than just the average bounce house nowadays. They also have a private venue for parties, functions, balls, weddings, receptions, etc and were doing birthday parties w/ the inflatibles but were thinking of kind of doing away with that end possibly. If you had a place where you can keep the inflatibles up (or down but not put away when not in use) that is best. Check out Pump It Up on Forest and see what you think. This will give you a good idea of what a nice clean one does that has PLENTY of room for the inflatibles and the party rooms are big. The other one in Plano might not be there anymore as it was pretty boring and the "party room" was DINKY!

Yes we would have both a site for parties and walk-ins, and a service to deliver to the house and bring our BBQ trailer to do all of the on-site cooking.
