September 01, 2026 // Franchising.com // PENSACOLA, Fla. – Launch Family Entertainment (Launch), a premier indoor family entertainment concept, 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 31,400-square-foot 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 signature KRAVE restaurant and bar. The opening marks Launch’s fourth location in Florida, joining Orlando, Clearwater and Doral, and reflects the brand’s continued nationwide expansion.
“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.”
