Rent local real estate for indoors parties

Not sure about the current climate in your city but in southern Texas we haven't seen blue skies in a while.  This does not mean you must cancel your birthday parties and kids events but rather begin a local search for indoor bouncehouse set-up capabilities available in the commercial real estate market. 
When you rent inflatable bounce houses, jumps, moonwalks, and especially slides you are never in fear of how high the sky is but ceiling height is a priority when looking for space to rent and utilize your inflatables safely inside.  What?  Yes, many commercial spaces have ceilings not high enough to inflate a kids big inflatable double lane slide with a 20' drop! 
Start by driving through your neighborhood commercial real estate properties, looking for old stores that have closed, be sure the previous business was one that may have allowed for high ceilings before calling to inquire.  Use the internet, search for commercial real estate in your zipcode.  Perhaps there is a discount store that has closed, or grocery store, or warehouse of some kind.  Often the owners want to rent it for a month's time especially if it has been available for a while.
Another prime property for party rentals are airplane hangars.  If they are high enough to park a corporate aircraft in they are high enough to put a bounce house inside.  Be sure you fulfill the business side of this venture which includes notifying your inflatables and bounce house rentals insurance agent to find out what particulars must be met to keep your policy in force 24/7.
One final option is to "resell" space at your local indoors FEC.  These companies are happy to accommodate new parties and will offer commissions for helping fill their schedules.  You can send bounce house staff members to help run the parties and keep your logo on your t-shirts!  Ask if you can bring your own clowns, face painters, or other party rentals that will keep your customers coming back whether or not the weather allows for a wonderful, fun, kids bounce house and inflatables party.  You can keep the climate cool inside too.
