ROCKIN’ JUMP is a trampoline park which describes itself on its website as, ‘We’re people like you who want to exercise, but also like to have fun. Lots of fun. So instead of stair climbers and weight machines, we decided to create a place where you can soar in open jump arenas, play trampoline dodge ball, do flips and somersaults, joust with friends and do fitness challenges.

“We also wanted a new alternative in the area for birthday parties and family gatherings,’’ the description continues.

At a recent Economic Development Commission meeting, EDC Coordinator Sal Brancati said the business intends to hire about 100 people at its East Haven location.

The company already had its first two hiring days for the East Haven facility on December 13th at the Foxon Volunteer Fire Department and on December 15th at Hagaman Memorial Library.

Another hiring event will be held on January 3rd, 1-5 p.m. at the Town Beach office at 150 Cosey Beach Avenue.

All applicants must come with a resume.
