Harrisburg restaurant opens near future trampoline park
By Jodi Schwan
Game Changer restaurant has opened in Harrisburg, offering breakfast, lunch and dinner daily.
The restaurant is along North Cliff Avenue next to Perfect Practice and the future trampoline park Air Madness.
The first weekend drew about 600 customers, owner Gary Sperber said.
“We had great feedback and more people than we dreamed,” he said.

It’s open from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily and seats 75 people, including on the patio. The menu features everything from breakfast sandwiches and a full coffee bar to a dozen varieties of pizza, including one topped with prime rib.
There also are hot dogs, sloppy joes, burgers and other sandwiches and appetizers.
Ice cream is provided by Stensland Family Farms and includes the creamery’s first soft serve in vanilla, chocolate and twist. Plus there are floats, mixers and shakes available.
The restaurant is the first to serve Stensland Family Farms’ soft-serve ice cream.
“We hired 25 people and we’re pretty close (to full), but we’ll probably hire another 75 for the trampoline park,” Sperber said. “We need everything from food court concessions people to managers, assistant managers and court monitors.”
Air Madness is under construction and expected to open in July, he said.
“We’re into the framing phase. We’ve recessed all our trampolines in the ground. Right now, we’re framing the mezzanine, and within the next couple weeks we’ll be full-blown hiring.”
The 50,000-square-foot trampoline park will include a Ninja Warrior-style obstacle course, laser trampoline room, battle beam area, ultimate dodgeball course and a kids’ area.
“There’s a lot of stuff these kids haven’t seen before,” Sperber said.
The facility also has eight rooms for birthday parties, but reservations haven’t started yet.
