Three generations of fun come together!
The Factory was originally designed
and built in the 80’s by Jim
Browning. In those days it was a
real-deal fully operational factory,
complete with machines, tools,
forklifts… the works.
When Jim retired and sold the
business his son, Dan Browning,
carried in his dad’s footsteps by
opening up his own factories in the
greater Gadsden area. In 2013 the
building Jim built 35 years earlier
was up for sale and because of the
sentimental value, Dan decided to
buy back his dad’s factory.
Dan’s daughter, Bethanne took on
the challenge of transforming the
old rundown factory into something
completely different.
Three generations of Brownings
came together to develop a vision
for something that would bring
families and friends together to
make a positive impact on our
community.
The vision evolved into what today
is known as The Factory; a place
where old and young alike can
experience a thrill of playing.
We are excited to spread the fun
and expand our business with
a second location here in Gulf
Shores, Alabama. The Browning
family takes fun very seriously and
believes the world would be a better
place if everyone would take a little
time to play.
That’s why our motto is: Play Now.
Grow Up Later.
