Local History

Kelly McHugh, Owner of Pump It Up of Raleigh, bought the franchise in 2009 with the desire to create an environment where families and friends could get together to celebrate, socialize and exercise for fun - stress free. 

"Customers tell us that our party planning expertise, attention to detail, and elevated level of customer service is what they appreciate the most." - McHugh

Kelly has a marketing background working for major corporations in the high tech industry. After starting her family, she wanted to be involved in a business that she could relate to and also have the ability to balance her home life with her professional life. She found this opportunity with Pump It Up. 

"We strive every day to make sure that our birthday children feel extra special and that the celebration they have at Pump It Up of Raleigh is THE party they never ever forget." - McHugh
