The owners of Sky High Sports Spokane LLC, a five-year company that operates a trampoline facility here, have created a new partnership called Flying Squirrel Sports through which they hope to open trampoline parks in locations throughout Canada and Central America.
Since Sky High opened in December of 2010, franchisee co-founders Cody and Luke Schueler have seen a lot of changes in the trampoline business and decided they wanted to create something new.
"We wanted to be the first to develop a more high-end, luxury trampoline park catering to kids as well as adults," says Cody Schueler.
Flying Squirrel's first location opened about eight weeks ago in Calgary, Alberta, and employs 34 people. Flying Squirrel is set to open in several other locations soon, with facilities currently being built in Hamilton, Ontario, and Guatemala City, Guatemala.
Most locations so far have been international because, as Schueler explains, "The markets are becoming more saturated every year. Although we're not opposed to opening locations in the states, our main focus is international due to current U.S. market saturation."
