Big Bounce Fun House Rentals

What Big Bounce Fun House Rentals does

Big Bounce Fun House Rentals is a family-owned event rental business founded in 1998 by Andy and Susan Lorimer and headquartered in Greencastle, Indiana. The company historically operated a broad inventory of inflatables (bounce houses, water slides, obstacle courses), specialty attractions (mobile escape rooms, axe throwing trailers, iceless skating rinks, trackless trains, mechanical bulls, VR simulators), entertainment services (DJs, photo booths, casino nights, game shows, entertainers), concessions, and LED screen rentals, serving consumer, K-12, corporate, church, and municipal event organizers across Indiana and nine additional states. Distribution was direct-to-consumer via phone, email, an online catalog, and full-service delivery/setup/teardown, with transactions priced per rental period.

In 2023, the company announced the closure of its inflatable and party rental services, divesting all legacy inventory, and pivoted its operating focus to LED screen rentals under the new Cornerstone LED Events brand (cornerstoneledevents.com). The Cornerstone product line comprises inflatable outdoor movie screens (16-ft to 50-ft) starting at $399, and mobile LED screen trailers (17ft x 10ft) priced from $3,200 for an 8-hour day rate up to monthly engagements, with the trailer featuring onboard generator, concert audio, weather resistance to 45mph winds, and adjustable height. The Lorimers simultaneously operate three additional event-planning companies, have executed over 7,000 events cumulatively, and hold memberships in IAAPA, ASTM, and Jump Train.

The business model is fundamentally transactional rental revenue with a one-stop-shop value proposition: full-service delivery, setup, teardown, and attendant staffing, bundled into the rental fee, with no disclosed subscriptions, software, or recurring contracts. Customer acquisition relies on content marketing via the company blog, an online catalog with a quote request workflow, and direct phone/email outreach, rather than paid digital acquisition. No revenue, funding, or headcount growth figures have been publicly disclosed, and the post-2023 LED-focused operating model is in early-stage repositioning.
