WASHINGTON, DC–Zavazone is a startup retailer which hasn't even launched its second location yet — doors will open on Nov. 4th — but that hasn't stopped malls from around the country from contacting the company about opening a location in their retail center. The outreach is a testament to Zavazone's interesting concept but it is also illustrative of how eager malls are to attract retailers that provide an experience to shoppers.
Zavaone, briefly, is an indoor adventure park aimed at children and their parents but open to anyone that wants to walk across its catwalks or bounce on its trampolines.
It was co-founded by Josh Oboler and Joe Henry of Washington, DC, who own several Montessori schools in the area.
