PROVO, Utah, March 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Sky Zone, the premier indoor active entertainment destination, announced today, private equity firm Ex Nihilo Capital has acquired ten locations across Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, Wisconsin and Tennessee. As the largest franchisee in the system, the strategic investment highlights the brand’s continued growth path forward. Roger Duncan, the founder of Ex Nihilo, leads the 17 parks in their portfolio. This acquisition represents Sky Zone’s mission of bringing active play and core memory making to families across the United States through the empowerment of its trusted franchisees.

“I’ve continued investing in Sky Zone for nearly 10 years due to its unparalleled brand recognition within the industry,” said Roger Duncan, Sky Zone franchisee. “The unwavering support I’ve encountered from the communities we operate in and the franchisor, have continued propelling my passion and unit growth over the years. This sector thrives on scalability, and I’ve yet to encounter a venture as inherently scalable as this one. For me, there’s simply no superior investment avenue, which is why I’m so proud to oversee the parks in our portfolio.”

Earlier this year, Sky Zone’s CEO, Shawn Hassel, shared the brand’s commitment to sustained momentum, and how the company will accelerate franchise development through amplified support of the franchise network. Sky Zone is expecting to hit 300 parks by the end of 2024.

Mike Revak, Chief Business Officer at Sky Zone, shared his enthusiasm for the milestone, stating, “Multi-unit franchise owners like Roger are the backbone of Sky Zone, and he sets a great example of the opportunities within our system as we continue to grow.”
