Our Story: Journey to Franchising

In October 2018, Steven Shortino founded the first iSmash location in Rochester, NY, transforming a bold idea into a thriving reality. Inspired by a viral video, Steven saw the potential for a Rage Room where people could safely and joyously release their stress. From the very first day, the response was overwhelmingly positive, and the business saw rapid growth. Throughout 2019, iSmash continued to gain momentum, establishing itself as a local favorite for those seeking a unique and exhilarating experience. However, like many businesses, iSmash faced challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. Forced to close for nearly four months, Steven used this time to remodel and enhance the facility, leading to a successful re-launch in July 2020 with even greater customer enthusiasm. 

By the end of 2020, iSmash was achieving record sales, which prompted Steven to expand. In May 2021, he opened a second location in Syracuse, NY. Recognizing the immense potential of the business model and the growing demand for stress-relief entertainment, Steven began considering franchising. By the latter part of 2021, iSmash was officially certified to sell franchises. The first franchise was sold in Tampa, FL, in June 2022, and within 24 months iSmash has sold franchises across the nation. Today, iSmash stands as a pioneering leader in the Rage Room industry, offering franchisees a robust, proven business model with extensive support, ensuring continued growth and success. Join us in spreading the joy of smashing and stress relief nationwide!
