Read about current franchisees and what they love about franchising with Urban Air!

Urban Air was the right opportunity for me because when I found out I was having another child I knew I needed to take a step back from the overnight travel I was doing with my previous career and focus more on family. Owning my own business allows me to utilize my strengths and leadership skillset, make my own schedule and work ON the business more than working IN the business. Not to mention it is a Family Entertainment Center so bringing my family to work with me is not only allowed but encouraged!

I'm a father of two [...] and my wife is my best friend and business partner. We have a lot of activity in our lives that just surround movement, and being engaged and active. We are highly participatory in our youth and also in our businesses that we have. [...] You could open up any business, [...] but are you going to have fun in that business? I know that our experience has been overwhelmingly positive fun. So, fun when we are in the park, fun when we are playing, it's fun when our guests are playing, but it's also fun to be a franchisee as well.

We were operating one of our businesses in Indianapolis, and because of some other companies that we had relationships with, they started doing business for SkyZone and Altitude. So we did our due diligence, and we actually came to our own conclusion. Even though our existing company wasn't doing business with Urban Air, Urban Air was the business that we were going to invest in, and the only family entertainment company we wanted to have. [...] At the end of the day, Urban Air was the only place where we wanted to be.

After working in both the restaurant and fitness industries, the decision to invest in Urban Air was easy as it’s proven to be successful and promising as a long-term business. I’m so grateful to be a part of a family-focused brand that my kids can now enjoy.

After we had our daughter, we decided that we wanted a change, a change in lifestyle. We wanted something where we were independent, but something that was family oriented. [...] I said let's dig in, let's do our due diligence, so we started digging and I started analyzing everything, and looking at the potential, and we saw that it was a real possibility for us. That started to get the ball rolling with corporate! [...] Urban Air has definitely changed our life. For us, the difference between a corporate job and Urban Air, is relying on a paycheck, or building wealth. That's what we are doing, is build for our future and for our family.

Since we’ve spent almost every weekend going to birthday parties for all of our kids, we know the demand for a business like Urban Air. Because Urban Air is a larger-scale business, it can afford to have an on-site management team that will give us a unique opportunity to run this business remotely. The technology that is in place through Unleashed Brands is second to none when it comes to helping franchisees succeed with proven systems and processes in place.

We have been researching businesses that are centered around family entertainment for a while, and Urban Air stood out not only for its incredible business model, but because these parks will fill a void in Los Angeles; providing a safe, affordable place for kids and families to come together to play, that simply doesn’t exist today in Los Angeles.

Franchising has always been a big part of my life from my parents’ Dunkin’ venture to the dynamic Dunkin’ journey my brother and I embarked on, and now my partnership with Roshan [Patel]. It’s a business model that we deeply care about,” said Samir [Patel]. “The Urban Air opportunity aligns with our passion for creating safe and enriching spaces for kids. We like the strong unit-level economics Urban Air has coupled with the stability the Unleashed Brands’ platform brings to the table. Since the brand is a market leader within family entertainment, we are excited to debut the concept in Ann Arbor.”

Opening an Urban Air was a natural choice for us, not just because of its proven success and national reputation, but because the mission aligns perfectly with our values: family, fun, health, and community. Our goal is to make this park a hub for local families to connect, celebrate, and stay active together.

We chose to franchise as a way to expand our mission of creating 1 billion smiles. Beyond the scalable business model and the ability to replicate success across markets, it was really about getting closer to the families we serve—being on the ground and directly creating those joyful experiences ourselves.

From the conferences to joining the corporate side, every interaction with the Unleashed Brands team has been incredible. It’s a well-oiled machine—everyone is friendly, welcoming, and genuinely fun to work with. That culture is a huge part of what made partnering with them such an easy and exciting decision.

Our mission has always been to create 1 billion smiles—and Urban Air was a natural fit to help us expand that impact. After working with Unleashed Brands and seeing their consistent success with other partners, it was an easy decision to open family entertainment centers of our own. The track record, the support, and the alignment with our values made this partnership a no-brainer.
