Carl also tells us what qualities he’s looking for from franchisees and the sort of support each new member of the team can expect to receive when they join this exciting new sports franchise.
How has it grown since then?
Since opening our first location in 2021, with 30 children signed up, we have experienced rapid growth. We now run 8 locations across Essex and London, catering to nearly 400 children. This growth is a testament to the strong demand for our services and the potential for success in this market.
What makes an ideal franchisee for your franchise?
To us, an ideal franchisee is someone who is passionate about the brand and committed to its values. Someone self-motivatedย andย able to work independently while following the franchise's proven systems and processes. Strong leadership and management skills are essential; they must motivate a team and handle daily operations effectively. Financial acumen is important, ensuring they can manage budgets, track performance, and make smart business decisions. They must be adaptable and open to feedback, continuously learning and improving to grow the business successfully. Most importantly, they need to be fun, active people who are willing to give every customer the same experience.
