Select A Site
You will work with a local real estate broker, picked by you, to help you find the ideal location. Once you find a potential site, you will work hand-in-hand with our construction team to develop layouts for your building, review architectural plans and ensure your construction schedule stays on time.
This process is typically the most time consuming. It is important to hire a qualified local real estate broker, architect and contractor to ensure you can get your Pump It Up open as soon as possible. The entire process can take anywhere between 3 and 8 months.
Complete our Store Opening Process
We have created an extensive 170-item checklist to ensure you will not miss a beat when it comes to ensuring your store is ready to open on time and fully operational. In addition, you will have weekly calls with a pre-opening specialist who will guide you throughout the process.
We have everything you need to know on how to open a store effectively and efficiently! The entire Store Opening Process can take anywhere between 3 and 5 months.
Promote your Opening
About 4 weeks before your opening date, you will work with our Mission Control team to promote your business. From building your website to ensuring your digital marketing program is strong and ready to go, we strive to make sure kids and parents alike know you are coming to their town before you open your doors!
