Hop N Happy<br />
NORTHWEST AUSTIN For more<br />
than eight years Wes Gunn worked in<br />
corporate America, most recently as a<br />
salesperson for Dell Inc. Rebecca Gunn,<br />
who worked in Dell’s marketing department,<br />
said her husband came home<br />
after a day out with two of their sons<br />
with an idea for a big career change.<br />
“[Wes] took our older boys to a<br />
bounce house,” Rebecca said. “He came<br />
home saying, ‘We’ve got to do this.’”<br />
Wes left his job at Dell in February<br />
DINING<br />
George’s On<br />
The Town<br />
GEORGETOWN After seven months<br />
in business, George’s On The Town’s<br />
management is already looking for<br />
ways to expand the casual restaurant.<br />
In June the restaurant added<br />
weekend lunch hours, which could be<br />
2014, and by July 2014 he and Rebecca<br />
had opened the doors to indoor bounce<br />
house facility Hop N Happy.<br />
In the past year, Rebecca said, the<br />
business has been 10 times more profitable<br />
than she and Wes expected.<br />
“I was a little nervous about<br />
uncharted territory when we started<br />
this,” she said. “We’ve gotten extremely<br />
positive reviews.”<br />
The interior of Hop N Happy is<br />
bursting with primary colors, from<br />
its brightly painted walls dotted with<br />
rainbow-hued art to the multicolored<br />
extended to include lunch throughout<br />
the week, General Manager Donnie<br />
Damuth said.<br />
“We’re doing really well, and I’m<br />
excited about where we are going,”<br />
Damuth said.<br />
The restaurant, owned by Round<br />
Rock-based Stockade Companies, is<br />
the first concept of its kind for the<br />
bounce houses throughout the facility.<br />
A foam pit—which looks like a more<br />
modern plastic ball pit—allows children<br />
play in a sea of orange and blue.<br />
