## Story

PENSACOLA, Fla. – Launch Family Entertainment (Launch) has announced the opening of its newest location in Pensacola, Florida, with doors set to welcome guests on Friday, October 16.

Located at 8102 N. Davis Highway in Ferry Pass Plaza, the new Launch Family Entertainment will feature a wide variety of attractions for guests of all ages, including trampolines, duckpin bowling, a ninja course, arcade games, and a pixel floor, along with the brand’s KRAVE restaurant and bar. The opening marks Launch’s Florida location in the state, joining Orlando, Clearwater and Doral, and reflects the brand’s activity in the market.

“Launch has evolved well beyond the traditional trampoline park model into a comprehensive entertainment destination that brings attractions, food and beverage, and social experiences together under one roof,” said Craig Erlich, CEO of Launch Entertainment. “Pensacola reflects that evolution, with a dynamic mix of experiences that gives guests more ways to play, dine, celebrate and spend time together. As we continue to grow nationwide, our focus remains on creating destinations that deliver a complete entertainment experience for guests of all ages.”

The Pensacola park is led by local father-and-son team John and Jeremy Reams, both U.S. military veterans who bring their leadership experience and commitment to service to their new venture. Jeremy, an experienced program manager, brings a strong background in leadership and team management to the business, while John will support daily operations. Together, they aim to create a welcoming entertainment destination for families across Escambia and Santa Rosa counties.

“From the moment I experienced Launch with my kids, I knew it was a concept that would thrive in Pensacola,” said Jeremy Reams. “It blends fun, family and opportunity in a way that few places do. We are building something that will bring people together, create memories and strengthen the sense of community that makes this area so special.”

Launch Family Entertainment in Pensacola will serve as a destination for entertainment and dining, offering options for everything from everyday family outings to birthday parties, group gatherings, corporate events and other celebrations. Active attractions, interactive experiences, arcade entertainment and the KRAVE restaurant and bar allow guests to play, dine and celebrate all in one location.
