Emerging carpet care franchise The Carpet Chemist and group fitness franchise Fitness Premier 24/7 Clubs marked the halfway point of the year by celebrating many successes. The businesses, which are part of the Fit For You Franchising umbrella, have both seen noteworthy franchise interest, and the executives at Fit For You are excited about each company’s growth.
“From a franchise pipeline sales perspective, we have some great candidates we're talking to for both brands. With Fitness Premier, we have an agreement signed with a multi-unit franchisee who is going to develop in Georgia and South Carolina, as well as activity up in Wisconsin we’re focused on with acquisitions and new construction builds,” said Jason Markowicz, founder of Fit For You Franchising.
“The Carpet Chemist is seeing a lot of interest in Illinois neighboring our West Chicago suburbs territory, which just opened about two months ago. A deal should be ironed out in late summer, which we are excited about,” Markowicz continued. “And then we are in talks to scale in southern Indiana, neighboring our Louisville territory. We have some good momentum, and we're focused on ramping up and growing the business.”
The two brands are also both seeing impressive revenue growth in 2022, with The Carpet Chemist’s Louisville territory up 12% for year-over-year sales in June. Fitness Premier 24/7 Clubs’ same-store sales are up about 10%.
Growth and expansion plans
Other exciting happenings within the franchises include Fitness Premier 24/7 Clubs committing to a new 11,000 square foot corporate office headquarters in downtown Frankfort. The company will be moving into the space next year.
Both concepts adopted a new entrepreneur operating system (EOS) that Markowicz called “a real differentiator.” The platform teaches franchisees how to run their business through a systematic planning approach, from organizing meetings with their team to setting annual goals. Fitness Premier is also about to start rolling out a new hiring tool called a culture index, which helps match suitable candidates to the right jobs within the brand for their skillset.
Future outlook and goals
As for the remainder of the year, Fit For You Franchising is looking forward to growing both brands. Markowicz hopes to open 8 to 10 locations of Fitness Premier 24/7 Clubs this year and has been focused on the Midwest, including Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio, for The Carpet Chemist.
The total investment necessary to begin the operation of a Carpet Chemist Business with a base operating territory is $77,300 to 109,700, including a $30,000 franchise fee.
