If you are looking for information on the JumpBunch franchise business opportunity, JumpBunch franchises or JumpBunch franchising, then you have come to the right place.
If you enjoy and care about teaching children, this could be a rewarding business opportunity for you. In addition to child care organizations and private schools, you can contract to offer through fitness clubs and as a healthy-themed birthday party alternative. There's even a line of children's sportswear that provides an added revenue stream.
JumpBunch® offers structured sports and fitness programs for children 15 months to 6 years old as well as for school age children ages 6-12. The classes are typically 30-minutes long, once a week, year-round with over 70 activity plans. They are offered as part of a child's day at school, day care, after-school programs and even YMCA's or parks and recs departments. We help build healthy bodies, self-esteem, and a life-long love of sports and fitness.
Children are less active these days mainly because parents need to work and because video and computer entertainment is so enticing. Unfortunately, child obesity and the associated health risks are also rising. Parents and teachers recognize that exercise and exposure to sports is a vital part of every child's early development. JumpBunch® teaches a love for sports and fitness now and lets the competitive spirit come later. We provide an excellent, safe environment to develop young bodies and minds by:
Each JumpBunch® franchise owner is trained by founder, Tom Bunchman. The benefits extend far beyond the classes we have developed. The value added part of franchising is what you gain from the experience, know-how and operating plan that comes with it.

Our mission is to foster a winning attitude, physical fitness and sportsmanship in young children. We can tell you that JumpBunch® is a unique concept for which there is an untapped market in most areas of the country. We encourage you to pursue your interest.
The information presented may have changed since first published. We recommend that you always verify fees, investment amounts and offers with the business opportunity directly prior to making a decision to invest.
1. What training and ongoing support do you provide?
You want to know what happens after you pay the initial fee. A strong franchisor provides comprehensive pre-opening training, site-selection help, operational playbooks, and continuous assistance with marketing, technology, and supply chains.
2. What is the total initial investment, and did actual startup costs match the estimates in Item 7 of the FDD?
The Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) lists estimated startup costs in Item 7, but real-world expenses can run higher. Asking how closely current owners tracked to these estimates reveals if you need extra working capital or if hidden fees exist.
3. How do royalties and local/national marketing fees impact profitability?
You need to understand ongoing financial obligations-such as monthly royalty percentages and ad fund contributions-and evaluate whether the brand value and support justify cutting into your profit margins.
4. What are the common challenges new franchisees face, and how do you help them overcome them?
Transparent franchisors will openly discuss real hurdles like local competition, tight labor markets, or supply chain bottlenecks, and show you the exact playbook or field support they offer to solve them as well as allowing you to speak with other franchisees.
5. How many franchise locations have closed or left the system in the past few years, and why?
High turnover, store closures, or quiet franchise exits are major red flags. This question measures system stability, territory health, and whether the corporate team addresses struggling owners or lets them fail.
