## Story

Founded in 2012 by Rob and Erin Arnold, Launch has pioneered a different kind of family entertainment experience with a wide variety of attractions and amenities for all ages including XP Arena, ninja courses, laser tag, bowling, trampolines, Krave Restaurant, beverage service, and more.

Ryan’s ambition to surpass his own success is second to none. Debin opened his original Norwood location in 2019, but like many other businesses he was forced to close for several months due to COVID-19. However, Launch didn’t slow down during the pandemic. It did the opposite. This window of opportunity gave Debin the time needed to undertake a $1.6 million renovation to his facility. In doing so he made his very first location bigger and better than ever.

“When faced with challenges, like a global pandemic, it can bring out the best and most creative side of a person, or in this case a business,” Debin said. “This gave my team the chance to transform the Launch in Norwood. We added birthday party rooms, laser tag, and a ninja warrior course among many other amenities. We wanted to focus on making my very first location the best version it could be for customers of all ages.”

Debin is thrilled for guests to come out and enjoy the new amenities his team has worked so hard to bring to life. Visit the new and improved Norwood Launch family entertainment center located at 570 Providence Highway.

“Being a better version of yourself than you were the day before is the cornerstone of life,” Debin said. “That concept also applies to Launch. When we had to shut down during the pandemic, it gave my team the opportunity to create a better, more thrilling experience for our guests. Our goal was to turn the Norwood Launch into one of the top-performing locations in the franchise, and that’s exactly what we did.”

Debin, a lifelong entrepreneur, currently owns four Launch Entertainment locations across the state of Massachusetts. His family entertainment centers can be found in Framingham, Westborough, Woburn and Norwood.

“Spearheading innovation within our Launch locations is the pillar of this franchise,” said Launch CEO Rob Arnold. “Evolving with the times and creating new experiences for our guests is always our top priority. A franchisee like Ryan makes our job effortless. He is the epitome of a determined, diligent, open-minded leader that we are fortunate to have on our team. We’re delighted to see his very first location thriving more now than ever in Norwood.”
