What started as a simple knock on a neighbor’s door turned into something none of us could have ever imagined. In January 2022, while building our homes in Pelham, one family just needed to see the other’s countertops (yes… really 🤣). We met as strangers… and instantly became friends.

From there, everything grew. Our kids became inseparable. Our lives intertwined. And before we knew it we weren’t just neighbors anymore — we became family.

In April, when life threw us an unexpected curveball, we chose to take a leap of faith together. We created Jumping Jaks because we couldn’t find the kind of bounce houses we wanted for our own kids — clean, modern, and beautiful. What started as a small idea quickly took off in ways we never imagined.

By September of 2025, another opportunity found us — to create a permanent space for kids to play year-round. A warm, joyful place built with intention, love, and community at its heart. That dream became The Play Loft.

Jon and Dom aren’t just best friends — they’re brothers. And together with their wives, Alicia and Jamel , this business is built on family, friendship, faith, and a whole lot of heart. We are so grateful to welcome you into the community that started it all.
