Thank you to The Vindicator for interviewing us about the full story of our decision to close the indoor facility!

AUSTINTOWN — It’s the end of an era for the township and two of its most prominent businessmen. Austintown Bounce owners Bruce Shepas and Harold Porter said the indoor play facility in Austintown Plaza will close its doors after they accepted “a fair and generous offer” from plaza ownership ...

08/13/2025

Austintown Bounce co-owner and Township Trustee Bruce Shepas tells 21 News the last day of operations at the indoor facility is expected to be Tuesday, September 9.

08/13/2025

It is with heavy hearts we announce that we will be closing our indoor facility in the Austintown Plaza. Our last day of operations will most likley be on Tuesday, September 9th. Stay tuned for more details on our last day and closing specials. The last day for any party bookings will be on Sunday, September 7th. All rentals will to continue as usual and we will continue to operate as a rental company! We will be launching an online booking system soon for rentals. We will honor any gift certificates to be used for admissions until we close or you may use them towards a future rental. We truly appreciate everyone’s support over the years, and we hope that you will continue to support us as a rental company!

Please read the message below from the owners:

The Austintown Bounce journey is coming to an end at our indoor facility only. Our outdoor rentals will continue to operate.

It all began in early 2005, when Harold and Bruce sat down for a friendly poker game with some close friends. Amid the laughs and card shuffling, a simple idea surfaced — what if we started a local business renting inflatable bounce houses?

That casual conversation turned into action. By July 4th, 2007, they had purchased a trailer and three inflatables, officially launching Austintown Bounce. The response from the community was immediate and enthusiastic.

In September 2009, they took the next big leap — opening an indoor play facility on Kirk Road, which became a beloved destination for local families. The facility thrived for 14 years, until the COVID-19 pandemic forced them — like so many others — to close their doors.
But instead of folding, Bruce and Harold saw opportunity. During the downtime, they negotiated a phenomenal lease in Austintown Plaza, allowing them to open a brand-new, 17,000-square-foot indoor play center. It quickly became a hit — bigger, better, and more exciting than ever.
Over the past six months, the plaza’s owners made several offers — not to buy the business or its assets, but to reclaim the space itself.

A few days ago, Bruce and Harold accepted a generous offer.

From a poker table to a community staple, Austintown Bounce was built on friendship, risk-taking, and a whole lot of fun.

Stay tuned — their story might be taking a new turn, but the legacy they've built continues to bounce on.
Austintown Bounce will continue operating as one of the most reliable outdoor inflatable rental companies in the Mahoning Valley.

Thank you for being part of our family and for allowing us to be a part of yours.
Sincerely,
Bruce Shepas & Harold Porter
