Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
Feb 3, 2013 was our 1st year anniversary!
What is your primary product or service?
We are a children's indoor recreation fun center for birthday parties with inflatable fun and much more!
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
We adopted our son, Joey and found when taking him to places to play that they were all lacking certain aspects in a fun center, so I decided to incorporate several different types of entertainment for children age 12 months to 12 years in more personalized family environment.
My background is firstly, being a Mom, but I have many years of experience as a business owner, developer and investor.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
We offer activities for a variety of ages from 12 months to 12 years including birthday parties, inflatable fun, toys, costumes, games, rides and much more. We also cater to the adults providing exercise equipment, massage chairs, big screen tvs, video monitors and a full service cafe.
We are family run and offer high quality personal customer service. Our employees "Roo Mates" not only monitor the children but also interactively play with them. We have an extremely clean facility that is constantly being sanitized.
Security is very important to us. Every guest is given a specially numbered wristband that our employees check when leaving the premises with their children, and for added security we have an extensive video surveillance system inside and outside of the facility recorded 24/7.
Our parties are "carefree" for the party parents and full service with a host and a server that do everything including set up of the room, set up of any decorations they may bring in, serving the children and adults, calling the children in at particular times, arranging for our mascot "Joey" to come to the party, and best of all, they do all the clean up. Party parents actually get to sit back and enjoy their party with "no worries" We offer, not only true Italian restaurant quality pizzas and other kid's favorites, but also have a large menu of other foods to choose from, such as fruit bowls, veggie platters, homemade specialties like baked ziti, chicken cutlet parmigiana, pasta with Alfredo sauce, meatballs and much more.
Parents actually get to relax and enjoy great food and friends at their party with "no worries"!

What is the best compliment anyone can give you?
We get this one a lot, and it's probably one of my favorites. "We have been to all of the other kids places in the area as far south as Boca and as far north as Jupiter and we love Joey's Outback the best. Our kids only want to come here now. It is the cleanest, most spacious, best run center with a great staff, tons of things to do for everyone and we had the best birthday party we've ever had here. We are very comfortable here knowing our kids are safe and having so much fun at the same time. Thank you so much for being here."
