Flip Out
Never StoP CreAtINg fuN
Flip Out began their franchising journey in 2014 in Penrith NSW. They currently have 17 operating franchises with a further 5 to open throughout 2022.
So to say the least, Flip Out are hitting all the right goals and the right market for Children’s Product and Services. But wait, its not just for Kids… it is for Families alike as a fun Active Indoor Entertainment Zone for 2-16 or for the Kidults of the house for ages 16 to 22 yrs and beyond. Flip Out is an indoor recreation service. Flip Out provides a fun and safe space to play and even achieve your fitness goals for everyone who walks through our doors. Our franchise fits a diverse range of skills, people and cultures. From IT, trades, parents to grandparents. We are seeking franchise partners who are disciplined, can follow a process and enjoy being around a fun energetic outfit. If you or someone you know is looking for an indoor activity, (doesn’t matter if its rain, hail or shine), where adults and children alike leave with endless smiles and happiness in their souls, this is the place to be. We currently have Franchises across Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, SA and WA. We also have a number of upcoming locations which include Melbourne, Brisbane, North Perth, South Australia, Darwin and Tasmania. Plus more to come as we are on the look out for our next 5 new destinations. Traditionally indoor recreation has always been aimed at toddlers and mum’s who need a ‘coffee break’. Not only do we offer this service, what makes us different is we cater from 2-16 and the kidults 16-22 year olds. We are available 7 days a week and we cater for individual play, kids parties or private hire. We offer everything from warrior courses, climbing walls, dodge ball arenas, clip and climb, slam dunk basketball, parkour arenas, battle beams, slides and soft play. Flip Out HQ provides end to end support for all franchisees from site selection, design, install, opening and ongoing support, bespoke software and we ensure every centre is easy to operate and franchisee partners have automated performance data at their fingertips each morning via text message.
Safety First - Flip Out franchises are heavily invested in our learning management system (LMS) which is mandatory for each staff member to complete successfully before commencing on any work station. We have plans for a new systems concepts in 2022. Our first concept opened at Flipping Golf within Marsden Park at the end of April 2022. We are also aiming to launch our lighter model in Perth later this year. The lighter models require a smaller footprint and less capital expenditure. Flip Out Pumped Up is our new direction which is under development and will be launched later this year and will cater for mobile services that will have no property lease required. Pumped Up will provide mobile inflatable services with Flip Out Party in a Box (full of flippin cool party merchandise).
Where do you see the franchise in the next five years?
Our network continues to strengthen and mature. Our plan is to broaden opportunities for current and new franchisees across Australia.
Our advice for those looking to be involved in potential franchising is to seek external validation to ensure your prospective franchise is profitable. Understand what support can be provided and how the site selection will work. Most importantly discuss with your franchisor on how they can assist with entry, exit and capital gain. Every franchise partner enters our network with skill sets. Some stronger than others. At Flip Out we want to understand franchise partners comfort skills and further develop those skills that are more challenging through process driven practices and utilising technology. Our three main goals are to ensure franchise partners deliver a fantastic customer experience, make the business easier to operate and continue to improve profitability. So in summary, now is the time to flippin jump on board this new Australian concept that will take children’s entertainment to the next level. This is something that is not weather dependent, school holiday reliant or fitness graded. It is a great opportunity for people of all ages to get involved, have fun, increase their fitness level and enjoy what their community has to offer. Contact us today for more information.
