JumpBunch Franchise Owner Danielle Gibbons

by FBR

Name: Danielle Gibbons

Location: Anne Arundel County, MD

Age: 35

# of Years Franchising: 2

Previous Occupation: Teacher

Top Reason you chose your Franchise: Working with children, love of fitness and sports, importance of healthy habits for children at a young age. As a mother of 2 children, I wanted to be a part of a positive program that was fun for children.

Best part of being your own boss? Flexibility in scheduling and control over growth and quality of program

Worst part of being your own boss? Hiring staff

Craziest/most interesting thing that has happened to you as a franchise owner? Don’t really have a story to tell…but have had many funny moments with kids…as we know they say the funniest things! Every time I walk into a school they call me Ms. JumpBunch!

Advice for prospective franchise buyers? Find something that you are passionate about and every day will be enjoyable at work. Find a franchise that has successful growth potential.

What was the total length of time from when you started researching franchises to when you purchased?
I knew Tom Bunchman for a few years and had seen his program and knew this was a franchise I wanted to invest my time in. I was the director of the territory before I became owner and saw the growth potential in my area. I did not research other franchises.
