Busy Bee Jumpers

For families and event planners across Massachusetts and Rhode Island,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.busybeejumpers.com/franchise/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=busy-bee-jumpers-party-rentals-2729494" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Busy Bee Jumpers</a> is the name that has become synonymous with safe, reliable fun. With a fleet of over 45 trucks and thousands of five-star reviews, this family-run franchise delivers bounce houses, water slides, tents, tables and more directly to backyards, schools and organizations across the region — and handles every detail of setup and takedown so customers can focus on enjoying the day.Founded in 1998, the company originally started as a side business for two daycare centers. Over time, demand for rentals exploded, prompting Busy Bee to pivot and go all-in on inflatables. Since then, it has grown into one of the largest bounce house and party rental providers in the country.“After about 10 years, we put our full focus on the business and saw exponential growth,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/sal-longo-701150134/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=busy-bee-jumpers-party-rentals-2729494" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Sal Longo</a>, owner of Busy Bee Jumpers. “As we better understood the industry, we streamlined our offerings, focused on what worked, and expanded beyond backyards to schools, churches, municipalities and camps. That focus has helped us grow into one of the largest bounce house operators in the country.”Whether it’s a birthday bash, school field day, church fair or company picnic, Busy Bee offers a full-service rental experience that prioritizes safety, cleanliness and reliability, all backed by years of operational excellence and local trust.<h3>What Makes Busy Bee Jumpers Different</h3>Busy Bee Jumpers stands out in a crowded market of bounce house providers by offering a more polished and dependable experience. It’s not just about renting a bounce house, it’s about knowing that someone will answer the phone, show up on time and deliver on their promises. The team’s professionalism and attention to detail have made Busy Bee a favorite for families and institutions alike.“We fill that void of being more of a trusted partner,” Longo said. “We’re fully licensed and insured with the strictest safety programs in place. We have an incredibly safe driving record and slender vehicles. It’s just a very professional approach. The norm in this industry is very fractured, and we’re the complete opposite. We’re open seven days a week, and we have people on call to help, even for last-minute rentals when the other service providers don’t show up.”Unlike many small, seasonal providers, Busy Bee is fully licensed and insured, with safety protocols, streamlined communication and a responsive support team available seven days a week. From the moment a customer books online or by phone, they’re taken care of with reminders, flexible add-ons, and even free cancellations up to the morning of the event.<h3>A Streamlined Inventory That Delivers Maximum Fun</h3>Rather than trying to offer everything under the sun, Busy Bee has spent decades refining its product line to what customers want: vibrant, safe, easy-to-use inflatables in a wide range of themes, plus the tents, tables and chairs needed to complete the event.The team has eliminated harder-to-maintain or underperforming rentals — like ice cream trucks and movie screens — and put its energy into inflatables that deliver maximum impact with minimal hassle. Combo bounce houses, wet/dry slides and obstacle courses make up the brand’s most popular categories, and each is meticulously cleaned, transported and installed.“As we started understanding the business and the industry better, we streamlined our operations and product offerings,” Longo said. “We liquidated things like our ice cream trucks, trackless trains and movie screens, and focused on bounce houses, water slides, obstacle courses — the things people actually want.With themes ranging from dinosaurs and princesses to superheroes and construction trucks, there’s something to excite every child. Add-ons like popcorn, snow cones and cotton candy can take any party to the next level.<h3>Top-Tier Communication and Customer Service</h3>Busy Bee Jumpers is more than just an inflatable rental company, it’s a customer service company that happens to deliver inflatables. The brand has invested in backend technology to ensure a seamless customer experience, from pre-event texting to post-event pickup without disruption.“Text-based client communication is all driven through our app,” Longo said. “It’s super helpful for that busy mom, that busy dad, that busy recreation department leader, or whatever end-user we’re working with, because we’re able to keep them updated every step of the way.”The team doesn’t just meet expectations, they aim to exceed them. For town events and corporate functions, that means working within tight delivery windows. For parents throwing a backyard birthday, that means early drop-offs and fast, quiet takedowns. For all clients, it means no surprises and no stress.“They know that when they partner with Busy Bee, they’re our top priority,” Longo said. “We offer free cancellation, and we’ll do anything we can to be front and center for their event. Whether that means getting there the day before for a party or hitting a tight delivery window for a community event.”<h3>Trusted by Parents, Schools, Churches and Towns</h3>Busy Bee’s reliability has earned it repeat business across public and private sectors alike. Today, it services over 110 cities and towns, including Greater Boston, the South Shore, Metro West and Worcester County, as well as parts of Rhode Island.Clients include schools, municipalities, fire departments, recreation departments and after-school programs — all of which trust Busy Bee to provide fun, safe, scalable entertainment options for children and families.“We work with hundreds of schools across the state of Massachusetts and so many after-school programs and recreation departments,” Longo said. “They see our offerings as a very safe, effective way to entertain children in a healthy way, and that trust is what keeps them coming back.”The company’s growth reflects the increasing demand for safe, screen-free, outdoor fun, which is a trend that continues to accelerate. With kids needing more time to play outside and parents looking for turnkey options, Busy Bee’s offering hits the mark.<h3>A Brand That’s Growing With Its Audience</h3>After decades of success in New England, Busy Bee Jumpers is expanding through franchising. With systems in place, professional training and technology that supports scalable growth, the brand is targeting warm-weather markets like Texas, Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas, where inflatables can be rented year-round.“Strategically over the next three years, I’d like to have another 15 operations open,” Longo said. “We’re seeing real demand. I’ve had operators approach me asking if Busy Bee would buy them out. The way we’re built, the way we operate - it’s positioned us for scalable growth, especially in markets where we can run year-round.”Whether it’s a backyard birthday party in Quincy or a school carnival in Providence, Busy Bee Jumpers has built its business on reliability, trust and joy. And now, with new markets on the horizon, more families across the country will soon get to experience the buzz.For more information about Busy Bee Jumpers franchise opportunities, visit&nbsp;<a href="https://www.busybeejumpers.com/franchise/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=busy-bee-jumpers-party-rentals-2729494" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.busybeejumpers.com/franchise/.</a>&nbsp;

For&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/sal-longo-701150134/">Sal Longo</a>, timing has always mattered. As&nbsp;<a href="https://www.busybeejumpers.com/franchise-landing-page/">Busy Bee Jumpers</a>, the inflatables and party rentals franchise, heads into its 28th season in business, Longo believes the current moment presents a rare opportunity for entrepreneurs looking to enter the party rental space — especially those willing to move while others hesitate.“It's very interesting,” Longo said. “Because our service is so cost-effective — primarily focused on birthday parties, family gatherings, church events, school events, fundraising events — I’ve found that times of uncertainty are when we grow the most.”That pattern played out clearly in 2025.&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/busy-bee-jumpers/info">Busy Bee Jumpers</a> closed the year with historic growth and is already seeing strong momentum carry into 2026, with pre-bookings up significantly year-to-date. According to Longo, the difference often comes down to how operators respond when the market tightens.“I’ve seen other operators in the inflatable, bounce house entertainment space choke back their marketing dollars when the economic uncertainty is high,” Longo said. “I have always found that when there is this opportunity, that's when we go faster, and we invest more in our marketing. What I found is we're able to grab more market share.”That strategy is now being passed directly to franchise owners. Busy Bee Jumpers currently has three franchise locations operating, with a fourth set to open in Stamford, Connecticut, within 60 days. Rather than slowing expansion plans, Longo and his team are encouraging franchisees to lean into the opportunity.“We are rigorously planning with our three franchises that are already open,” Longo said. “And we're telling them the opportunities are great. They're right in front of them, and we've got to go at this because all these other operators are closing their doors.”<h2>Demand Built on a Refined Model</h2>Longo attributes the early franchise demand less to hype and more to years of operational refinement.“We've really refined our operation,” Longo said. “It's a very simplified operation. We know what equipment to buy, how to onboard and train our staff, what staff to look for to deliver our equipment and how to put our marketing efforts in front of the right clients.”That clarity has helped create organic demand while allowing the brand to stay disciplined about growth. Rather than expanding rapidly, Busy Bee Jumpers is focused on tightening unit economics for its earliest franchisees.“One of the things that we're working on very closely with our three existing franchises is making their unit economics bulletproof,” Longo said. “We want to make sure that they're highly profitable before we sell all across the country.”<h2>Experience Franchisees Can Follow</h2>Longo often describes Busy Bee’s experience as a roadmap built through trial, error and long-term success.&nbsp;“The best way I can describe it is to make this analogy,” he said. “Essentially, we've already walked through the snow so they're able to follow our footprints.”That experience helps franchisees avoid costly missteps early on, from equipment selection to marketing spend.“We've learned the hard way,” Longo said. “We've made mistakes, but we've also had a ton of successes, and those successes were able to show franchisees the fastest way to get their business up and running and profitable.”Beyond systems and processes, Longo points to his internal team as one of the strongest differentiators in the franchise offering.“Having 15 team members that have been with us over 10 years is amazing,” he said. “What our first three franchises have said to me repeatedly is every time I send a text message, every time I call, there's someone there to answer and help me immediately.”<h2>A Business That’s Profitable and Personal</h2>At Busy Bee, the emotional payoff matters just as much as the financial opportunity.“I have children. I know what it's like to see a smile on my daughter's face,” he said. “These inflatables do not go out of style.”That timelessness, paired with a fragmented market and a relatively low cost of entry, continues to attract prospective franchise owners. On the high end, the investment reaches $400,200. That includes everything from inflatables and trucks to staffing and warehouse buildout.&nbsp;With a corporate location that exceeded $6 million in revenue in 2025, Longo believes the model speaks for itself and that the window to get in early is still open.“People want to get in and replicate that model,” he said.To find out more information on costs to buy this franchise, please visit&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/busy-bee-jumpers.">https://1851franchise.com/busy-bee-jumpers.</a>&nbsp;
