Hi, My name is Pamela DeVore. I am The General Manager; Daughter Of The Owner's, John E. Murdock, Jr., & Gloria Murdock. I am married and have 3 children, Casey, Katy, and Geoffrey, who is proudly served our military in the Marines, and now I have 5 grandchildren, Adriana, John Tyler, Lucas, Camila & Gavin. We are a family owned and operated business. THANKS TO ALL OF OUR WONDERFUL CUSTOMERS!!!

I would like to thank you for visiting our on-line store. We have been selling trampolines since 1975. I was 7 years old when my parents, John and Gloria Murdock began selling trampolines from the backyard of our house in Orange, Texas. Dad's first classified ad was in the Beaumont Enterprise Journal, as it was called back then.

Dad was full time employed as a parts manager of the Jim Austin Cadillac / Toyota car dealership in Orange, Texas. On March 14, 1975, the opportunity to sell trampolines was presented. Mom did the bookkeeping, errands and house work; raising us three kids. Also, Dad, Johnny, Todd and Pam graduated from Little Cypress High School in Orange, Texas.

The company is now into world wide distribution and carrying a lot more different trampoline parts and accessories and many other products.

My oldest brother Johnny (married) manages our marketing and websites. Our parents (John & Gloria) have been married since June 30th, 1961 and have retired.

We are very blessed to have a family that has stayed together for so long. We have a deep gratitude for the Blessings Of God. We owe our business & success to God and to our many customers. We have built our company on customer service & strive to make every customers experience a pleasant one.  Sometimes pleasing everyone today seems impossible but we try. Unfortunately business's/sales people seem to have lost the ability to just be nice so we hope you will find each of our staff friendly & knowledgeable. We strive for a good customer experience so if at anytime you are unhappy or happy and just want to share your feelings with me, please e-mail me. I will be happy to hear from you. If there is something missing in our website that you feel would be beneficial, please let me know.

We have shipped trampolines all over the world to many people. Many celebrities and special event promoters have purchased from us. Performers with the Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey circus and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition have contacted us and in June 2013, our inflatable Pony Hops were featured in the RAINN organization fundraiser that helped raise over $35,000 for Rape Crisis.

I appreciate you taking the time to read our little story.  Together we will bring this wonderful business to many more exciting times.  If you are ever on Interstate 10 between Houston & Louisiana, look for the BBQ Pits and Smokers and stop by. We would LOVE to meet you. Thanks for shopping online at WWW.1800TRAMPOLINE.COM.
