Interview with Emma Davis, Owner of Jumpin’ Jacks Indoor Play Space in San Francisco, California
Q: Can you tell us how you got started with Jumpin’ Jacks Indoor Play Space?
Emma: After giving birth to my daughter, I realized how difficult it was to find indoor play areas for children in San Francisco. That’s when I decided to create a space that the children of the city could enjoy, and so Jumpin’ Jacks was born.
Q: What were some of the challenges you faced when starting your business?
Emma: The biggest challenge was finding the right location that was central to San Francisco and easily accessible to families. Additionally, finding affordable inventory that was both fun and safe was not easy.
Q: How did you overcome these challenges?
Emma: Trust and patience. It took a long time to find the right location and the perfect products at an affordable price. In the end, I had to trust my instincts and know that it was all going to come together.
Q: Can you share with us one of your most memorable moments so far in your business’ journey?
Emma: Definitely our unexpected success when we launched our online store through Shopify. We didn’t know what to expect, but we were pleasantly surprised at how much it helped grow our business. It’s been amazing to see how many people around the world are interested in our products and concept.
Q: How has Shopify helped your business grow?
Emma: Shopify has been instrumental in allowing us to reach a wider audience and increase sales. Their platform is incredibly easy to use and has made our online store a seamless experience for our customers.
Q: Where do you see Jumpin’ Jacks Indoor Play Space in 5 years?
Emma: In the next 5 years, we hope to expand Jumpin’ Jacks to other locations throughout the Bay Area. Our focus will always be to provide a fun and safe environment for children to play and make memories.
Q: What advice would you give to someone wanting to start their own indoor play space?
Emma: My advice would be to trust yourself and believe in your idea. It takes a lot of hard work, patience, and dedication, but if you stay focused and committed, you can have a successful business. Also, don't be afraid to try new things and think outside the box. You never know what unexpected successes might come your way.
