Lease Signed at The Beacon!

We have exciting news to share! With the help of Shunpike and our Kickstarter Supporters, Massive Monkees just signed lease into The Beacon at our current location!!! WooHoo!!! This mean renovations of the space can start immediately. The plan is to complete build out in phases that allow us to continue to provide classes while these renovations take place. You should expect to see sound insulation installed allowing a broader range of classes and hours of operation, safety partitions to help ensure the safety of out MiniBreaks Kids. As well, the addition of a kitchenette and office space towards the rear of the building. Lastly, we will be installing heat and ventilation to keep you all cozy and warm this winter when the weather changes. This is huge step and very very exciting. Again we want to thank all of our Kickstarter Supporters dearly for making this possible!
