Indoor amusement park chain to launch in Denton with restaurant bar

undefined Launch

There's a whole lotta fun coming to Denton, via Launch Entertainment, an indoor amusement park chain that is opening a location at the Golden Triangle Mall, at 2201 S. I-35.

Founded in Rhode Island in 2012, Launch started out as a trampoline park, then expanded with games and attractions, as well as an adjoining restaurant and bar for the parents. They've since expanded to 29 locations in 15 states, including Texas where they made their debut in June 2025 with a location in Lewisville; there's a Houston location in the works, as well.

At 30,000 square feet, the new Denton location will be smaller than the Lewisville location, which spans 47,000 square feet. The Denton location will feature attractions such as duckpin bowling, arcade games, indoor trampolines, virtual reality, obstacle courses, and more.

The location will also house a branch of their Krave Restaurant and Bar, serving American fare such as pizzas, chicken tenders, nachos, salads, buffalo wings, and pretzels. A full bar will serve cocktails plus local and seasonal beers.

Bringing the concept to Denton is entrepreneur Satwinderpal Singh, and development is already underway.

“After spending more than a decade in customer-facing businesses, I’ve seen firsthand how important it is for families to have places where they can truly connect and have fun,” Singh says in a rlease. “Bringing Launch to Denton is about creating a space where kids, parents, and friends can make lasting memories together. I’m proud to invest in this community and offer something new and easily accessible.”

Singh brings over 15 years of experience in the gas station and quick-service restaurant industries, where he developed a strong foundation in operations management, customer service, and team leadership.

His business background is rooted in serving local communities, and his move into the family entertainment sector reflects a commitment to offering DFW families a vibrant and engaging destination. Outside of work, Singh values spending time with his family—an influence that shapes his focus on creating experiences centered on connection and quality time.

“We’re excited to Launch’s location at Golden Triangle Mall and a dedicated operator like Satwinderpal leading the charge,” says Launch CEO Craig Erlich. “His operational expertise, community focus, and passion for delivering memorable experiences make him the ideal partner to bring our vision to life in Denton.”
