Jolly Roger kiddie rides will be distributed in the US exclusively by Jennison Entertainment Technologies, it was announced yesterday.
An agreement was reached just ahead of the pandemic and was concluded on June 1, but only publicly released this week as preparations had been under way. The time that has elapsed has been used to create a situation where all domestic support for Jolly Roger in the US can be put into place by Jennison at its newly expanded headquarters in Daytona Beach, Florida.
Paul Teneyuca, previously senior director of game operations for CEC Entertainment, will work with the company to help develop the business domestically.
Jeff Peveler, director of domestic business development at JET, said: “This partnership makes perfect sense. We are known for quality product and timely, professional customer care. Having Jolly Roger’s products and parts on hand with JET will cut down on lead time and provide a familiar presence for sales, parts and service.”
The agreement also takes into account the design and development of new rides by JET and built by Jolly Roger in the UK. Those rides will replace JET’s and FFC’s own kiddie ride product lines. They will be sold under the Family Fun Company’s brand starting at the end of this year.
