About Jump City Inflatable Rentals
From One Bounce House to a City of Joy
Jump City was never built from a boardroom—it was built from a teenager’s dream, a father’s legacy, and countless late nights spent transforming an old truck repair shop into a place where childhood magic happens every day.
It all started when founder Shawn Thompson Jr. was just 14. Instead of buying the racing bike he’d been saving for, he asked his dad if he could invest in something a little different—a bounce house. That one decision reignited a family tradition. Years earlier, Shawn’s parents had rented bounce houses in their local community. After the loss of his mother, reviving the business became more than an entrepreneurial spark—it became a way to carry her memory forward and build something meaningful.
