Overview

Monkey Joe’s Parties and Play is part of the Raving Brands family, creators of family concepts such as Moe’s Southwest Grill and Planet Smoothie. If you’re a parent you know that means “great food for adults, kid friendly menu and atmosphere.”

If you’re looking for a franchise opportunity, food or non-food, being a part of Raving Brands means so much more: real estate, operational support, volume purchasing, marketing training and support.

Monkey Joe’s is franchising across the country. It seems parents are ready for an alternative to the mechanical character / cramped party room options for parties and looking for a physical outlet for their kids no matter what the weather brings.

Products & Services

Monkey Joe's a franchise opportunity from Franchise Genius

Joe's a good guy. He believes in fair play, being healthy, and acting like a kid. He also knows that if Mom and Dad aren't happy...no one is happy.

So, we made a place where kids can be kids, and parents don't have to go out of their way and pretend to have a good time. Monkey Joe's is fun for everyone. Kids can jump, slide, and climb; parents can check email, catch up on the latest news or watch sports; and younger brothers and sisters have their very own area where they're safe and can act like the big kids.

Monkey Joe's is all about having fun...no matter what your age. Stop by for a play-date, a family outing, or just for the heck of it. And of course, there's no better place to have a birthday party.

Monkey Joe's. If you aren't having fun...you're just not trying.

Training & Support

You will earn a degree from the Monkey Joe’s University when you complete both the classroom and on-site training program. At the school you will learn everything from register operation to throwing a birthday party, from hiring staff to accounting procedures. You will hit the ground running when you open your store after you learn to develop your sales and marketing plan, setup your back office, and hone your customer service skills.

The operations manual provides detailed instructions on hiring, training, and motivating employees, day-to-day operations, and accounting. The manual is a blueprint for all of our operational systems, so we require everyone to keep it under their pillows at night.

But support doesn't end once your store is built, your staff trained, and your business opened. Each store is assigned a Business Consultant who will assist in the strategic and operational questions that you will inevitably encounter after your Grand Opening. We're here to motivate, encourage, and share best practices. All of our Business Consultants have extensive Grand Opening and operating experience and can help you through some of the finer points. We're accountable to each other - so our Business Consultants are there to make you the best you can be.

Are You a Good Fit for Monkey Joe's?

Retail experience is not necessary, but a retail personality is a big plus (friendly, outgoing, and customer service minded). Previous business experience and a willingness to have fun are the keys.

Average investment is between $336,000 and $675,000 and varies depending on real estate, lease obligations, and tenant improvement.
