Over the last three months, Nick and Darci Reggio, owners of Bounce de Lis, have worked around the clock to transform 3,200 sq.ft. of Algiers commercial space into a kid and adult friendly “inflatable headquarters.” Located in a corner suite at 4001 General DeGaulle Drive, Bounce de Lis will offer private indoor kids parties with access to inflatable bouncers, slides, basketball goals and the largest obstacle course in the area. Team Bounce de Lis is looking forward opening its doors and booking parties in the very near future. In fact, the owners have already hired 10 employees to assist with operations. That’s not all. Bounce de Lis will have an inflated presence (literally) at this year’s Wednesdays on the Point river front concert series. Future plans are also underway to provide adult physical fitness courses at the facility. To learn more, call (504) 908-9191 or email bouncedelis@gmail.com.
