Monkey Joe's Parties & Play Franchise

Monkey Joe's Parties & Play is a franchise for a family entertainment facility. It was founded in 2004 and started franchising in 2005.

Monkey Joe’s have wall-to-wall inflatable jumps, slides, and obstacle courses. This is their way to keep children happy, active, and healthy. The play area is designed for children aged 12 years and below. They also have a separate and secure area for toddlers. When it comes to keeping the active environment safe and clean for the children, they sanitize the inflatable with Swisher Hygiene which eliminates up to 99.9% of germs. To keep everyone safe, they have trained staffs that monitor the area for three years old and below and the area for 12 years old and below. The parents are also encouraged to monitor their children while they are at play. The place is not only for kids but they have a separate waiting area for the adults that has seating, computer stations, flat screen televisions, and free high speed wireless internet. They now have 50 locations in the United States.

What is the story of the character that represents the business, Monkey Joe?

Monkey Joe is a furry purple monkey. He lives on an island known as Coco-nutty Island. He is a monkey who is healthy, climbed coconut trees, surfed ocean waves, and skateboarded on slate rocks. Monkey Joe fell from the tallest tree in the island but he was not hurt. He just bounced on a patch of vines. Monkey Joe thought "What fun this is to bounce!". He enjoyed it too much that he went searching with his friends for more bouncy plates. On their search, they also found slippery algae that they can slide on. Monkey Joe wanted to share his bouncing with others outside the island. He left and makes guest appearances at children’s parties and other events.
