iSmash is opening in Stuart on March 21. Located at 744 SW Federal Highway, Unit 9, the venue provides more than 8,000 square feet of immersive entertainment on the Treasure Coast.
Designed for families, friends, and corporate teams, iSmash Stuart offers an environment where guests can unplug, relieve stress, and celebrate moments. With multiple activity rooms and flexible event space, the venue supports birthday parties, team-building outings, date nights, and private celebrations.
Leading the Stuart opening are Scott and Rachel Medlin. Scott, a Marine Corps veteran and former law enforcement officer, is an author and speaker supporting public safety professionals. Rachel, who spent her childhood in nearby Ft. Pierce, has nearly two decades of experience in corporate financial risk management, specializing in economic risk and analysis.
“Opening iSmash in Stuart is an exciting milestone for our family and for the Treasure Coast,” said Scott Medlin. “We saw an opportunity to create a space where people of all ages can step away from their routines, have fun and make lasting memories. Whether you’re celebrating something special or just need a stress reset, we want this to be a place the community can come back to again and again.”
The Stuart location will offer Smash Packages, glow-in-the-dark Splatter Paint sessions and Axe Throwing experiences, with all safety gear and materials provided. Age minimums begin at three years old for Splatter Paint, eight years old for Rage Rooms, and 13 years old for Axe Throwing.
“Scott and Rachel embody the energy and commitment we look for in franchise partners,” said Steven Shortino, founder and CEO of iSmash. “They’re passionate about serving their community and delivering a high-quality guest experience. Stuart is a vibrant and growing market, and this location represents an important step in our continued expansion throughout Florida.”
As part of their long-term vision, the Medlins plan to open additional iSmash locations in the region, further establishing the brand across Southeast Florida. They also intend to actively engage with local businesses and organizations, positioning iSmash Stuart as a community-driven entertainment hub.
