Values & History
Founder Tom Bunchman started out as a franchisee himself. Over 13 years he built, managed, and grew a successful business before launching his own unique JumpBunch concept in 1997. Tom crafted an ideal way to tap into this rapidly expanding market niche. It was clearly the right service at the right time, and given Tom's years as a franchisee himself, he is uniquely qualified to support and mentor franchisees, allowing each owner to reach their full potential. By expanding the JumpBunch concept through a franchise network starting in 2002, Tom and his team have been able to carefully select and train local owners who share the commitment and passion required to grow a business that makes a real positive impact on childhood development.
