ABOUT SLOOMOO
Sloomoo celebrates joy through an interactive experiential world, focused on slime, hands-on play, and all things #satisfying. Sloomoo launched in October of 2019 with an immersive 12,000 square-foot experience in Soho, NYC, where hand-crafted, artisanal slime (dozens of textures and the most delicious scents), soothing ASMR, and wondrous delights (you can slingshot slime, walk on slime, design your own slime, and more) converge with glossy, contemporary design.
Sloomoo’s universe has expanded - there are now a total of 7 Institutes (NYC, LA, Houston, Chicago, Atlanta, Charlotte, Washington DC) and 2 MiniMoos (Boston, Philadelphia) with more to come.
MiniMoos are smaller than the Institutes but packed with as much color, surprise, and play.
The brand has been featured in People Magazine, Vogue, the Today Show, the Kelly Clarkson Show, the Tamron Hall Show, Forbes, INC, and more.
The mission: Deliver joy, whether you’re a kid or kid-at-heart.
