Dodgeball has helped make a new Westborough business a hit since its grand opening on Route 9 last Friday.
The Sky Zone Westborough indoor trampoline park will "easily get 5,000 people through this week. Easily," co-owner David O'Connor said Thursday night.
"Dodgeball is far and away the most popular" activity at Sky Zone, located in the Speedway Plaza on Route 9.
"I already have just as many adults asking for dodgeball leagues as I do kids,” said O'Connor, who owns the facility with Scott Breault.
Dodgeball leagues will start in fall, as will fitness classes, O'Connor said.
Sky Zone hosted a ribbon cutting on Thursday night.
"Sky Zone has made a great choice to come here to Westborough," Corridor Nine Area Chamber of Commerce President Barbara Clifford said.
O'Connor said the turnout so far has "hit expectations."
"I've got a lot of mothers coming in to use it as a workout," he added.
The facility has been popular with parents and teenagers, who are "excited about there’s something for the kids to do on a Friday and Saturday night other than cruising around and playing video games," O'Connor said.
"That’s exactly what we were hoping for,” he said.
Sky Zone has 80 total employees, and should reach 100, O'Connor said.
“I knew I’d get into that 75 (to) 80 range," he said.
"I was surprised by how many kids wanted jobs. I doubt there’s somebody who’s employing more teenagers in Westborough than me."
