WELCOME TO

The Fun Ones We are very excited about the opportunity we have to offer. We are committed to The Fun Ones and dedicated to our franchise venture. We believe it to be a great concept with almost universal appeal that’s built on years of development, solid business fundamentals, and an extraordinary commitment to quality, service... and fun!

We believe in celebration and bringing people together. It was out of that belief thatThe Fun Ones concept was created. As we started our family, we planned big celebrations for our children’s birthdays; really fun ones with a fun theme, fun decorations, fun food, fun activities, and a lot of friends and family. We were in the early years of establishing our family and realized that those years are the fun ones, the ones that count, the ones we want to remember. They are also the hardest years to plan a really great party when parents are so busy and sometimes overwhelmed with caring for young children.

As we planned our son’s first birthday party, we attempted to rent a moon jump and spent far too much time looking for companies with available equipment. We were often met with poor customer service and unreturned phone calls. The whole experience was extremely disappointing. Parents need convenience when planning a party, and through our experience in which good service was really lacking, we realized there was a need for something different in the party industry. So, with our passion for celebrating, we were inspired to start our own business of supplying people’s party needs in a hassle-free and convenient way.

Armed with our own innate party planning skills and recognizing the need in the marketplace, we started on our journey of creating The Fun Ones business. We purchased three moon jumps and operated a rental business out of our garage. As the demand for inflatable party equipment continued to grow, we continued to add to our original inventory of products. We added slides, carnival games, obstacle courses, and character themed bounce houses. It did not take us long to outgrow our garage while our business evolved into a full-time venture: a one-stop shop for all party rental needs. Now, our company has full-time staff, well-developed, professional marketing strategies, and a constantly updated, wide selection of fun event rental equipment.

We’re convinced what we have to offer is just what people are looking for – convenience and fun. We provide the highest quality of service to anyone planning a celebration or event with our convenient, all-inclusive event packages.

As a Fun Ones franchisee, you can lean on us and all our years of hard work that have been put into developing this concept. Please review our franchise brochure, and then contact us to discuss details of owning a Fun Ones franchise. Thank you for your interest, and we look forward to hearing from you!

Sincerely, David & Joni Spata Founders
