Leading Private Equity Firm Fuels Re-Bath’s Growth as Home Services Sector Continues to Prosper.

PHOENIX — Home Brands Group Holdings Inc., the parent holding company of Re-Bath, the nation’s largest complete bathroom remodeling franchise, announced today it has been acquired by TZP Group LLC (“TZP”), a leading private equity firm with deep investment experience in home services and franchising industries, and a group of co-investors. Financial details of the transaction were not disclosed.

Re-Bath has grown into a trusted and respected brand known for providing expert, affordable, and effortless bathroom remodeling solutions that transform homeowners’ bathrooms in days, not weeks. Whether seeking a tub or shower area update, better accessibility and safety in your bathroom or a complete bathroom remodel, Re-Bath makes bathroom remodeling easy. The company’s exclusive remodel process removes old materials and fixtures and replaces them with beautiful new options in a wide variety of colors and styles.

Re-Bath’s success and leading market shared have not gone unnoticed. Ranked No. 2 on Qualified Remodeler‘s Top 500 Nationals List, Re-Bath was recognized for its consistent, strong growth and solidified its position in the industry as a top-rated franchise that now spans more than 100 locations across North America.

We believe Re-Bath’s unique, high-quality service offering, loyal customers, best-in-class products of leading brands and partnerships with premier, national retailers coupled with TZP’s relationships and resources can accelerate Re-Bath’s growth.”

Re-Bath is on pace to close out a remarkable 2021 following a strong 2020 that reflects impressive same-store-sales growth alongside multiple franchise openings. Increased demand for bathroom remodeling projects and market share gains drove nearly 80% YOY increase in systemwide sales year-to-date. Capitalizing on unprecedented demand, existing franchises are expanding and franchise development is on the rise. Re-Bath has signed 17 agreements year-to-date and projects signing 20 by year-end.

“We are excited to embark on our next chapter of growth with TZP’s investment representing a strong validation of the growth and success we’ve achieved and where we are headed,” said Re-Bath CEO, Brad Hillier. “Through this investment, we will be able to leverage TZP’s expertise and resources to further expand our brand to a wider audience and better serve our customers, franchisees, partners and employees. With continued investments in technology and human capital, our company will be well positioned for accelerated growth in the coming years.”

Re-Bath’s recent accelerated momentum brings it closer to the goal of becoming a billion-dollar-company. To achieve this milestone, Re-Bath plans to leverage TZP’s resources, and continue to focus on partnering with a growing number of exceptional franchisees, strengthening world-class corporate support, maximizing opportunities with national retail partners, and enhancing the customer-service experience with new technology and innovation. Combined, these efforts can propel Re-Bath to become a household name across the country.

William Blair & Company, LLC served as exclusive financial advisor, and Honigman LLP served as legal advisor to Re-Bath in connection with the transaction.

The agreement expands Xponential’s footprint and membership base by bringing its boutique fitness brand studios to over 500 LA Fitness and City Sports Club locations across the country.

IRVINE, Calif. — Xponential Fitness, Inc. (NYSE: XPOF) (“Xponential” or “the Company”), a curator of leading boutique fitness brands, and Fitness International, LLC, operator of LA Fitness (“LAF”) and City Sports Club (“CSC”), today announced an exclusive development agreement. The agreement lays out a minimum development of over 350 franchised locations over five years to add Xponential brands in more than 500 Fitness International locations.

This development commitment will afford Xponential Fitness the opportunity to invite existing franchisees who own a studio with an LAF or CSC location within their protected territory to open an Xponential brand studio inside of these locations. A membership to an Xponential brand studio within an LAF or CSC facility will be available to existing gym members for an additional cost.

Studio development time and buildout costs of these locations will be less than those of a traditional standalone studio, and existing franchise partners will have an opportunity to drive additional revenues while operating these locations free of initial franchise fees and lower marketing fund fees. AUVs at these locations are expected to be lower than those of traditional studio locations; however, this opportunity provides for reduced operating costs than standalone studios.

“We are pleased to enter into an exclusive development agreement with Fitness International to further our mission of making boutique fitness accessible to everyone, increasing our total addressable market, and providing expansion opportunities to our franchisees,” said Anthony Geisler, CEO of Xponential Fitness, Inc. “This provides a unique opportunity for franchisees to increase their reach and overall revenue generation within their protected territories. We look forward to delivering best-in-class boutique fitness to the LA Fitness and City Sports Club communities.”

We are confident their boutique fitness brands will provide an excellent complement to our members’ existing workout routines.”

Development of Xponential Fitness brand studios within Fitness International locations is expected to begin in the first quarter of 2022 and will not have an immediate impact on Company revenues during the current calendar year. Management looks forward to updating the investment community further on the strategic benefits of this partnership on its upcoming third quarter earnings conference call on November 11, 2021 at 2 PM PT / 5 PM ET. More information on the third quarter earnings call can be found on Xponential’s investor relations website.

Franchisees Nationwide To Assess Needs, Utilize Nationwide Network of In-Home Care Providers To Address New Realities Family Caregivers Face With Their Loved Ones During On-going Pandemic.

PHOENIX — Assisted Living Locators, a nationwide senior placement and referral service, announced today it is offering free home care consultations in support of Family Caregivers Month this November.

Assisted Living Locators’ 140 franchise offices across the U.S. will assess needs and utilize their nationwide network of in-home care providers to address the new realities family caregivers face with their loved ones during this pandemic.

Spearheaded by the Caregiver Action Network, National Family Caregivers Month recognizes and honors family caregivers across the country. Family caregivers manage health emergencies, juggle priorities, and suffer isolation – and all that was before COVID-19. The on-going pandemic brings even more challenges to family caregivers.

As part of the free home care consultation, a local Assisted Living Locators senior care advisor will meet with each family, virtually or in-person, to learn about their loved one’s needs, living conditions, and personal preferences in order to build a care plan.

“We offer a variety of care resources for family caregivers ranging from Alzheimer’s and dementia care to respite care and much more,” said Angela Olea RN, Assisted Living Locators CEO. “Our nationwide network of home care agencies provides a full range of home health care needs, including social interaction, senior nutrition, and safety in the home, to meet the pandemic challenges and assist families with the help they need.”

Olea noted that people with dementia at home may find it more difficult to do protective measures against the virus and need extra support during this difficult time.

“With system-wide dementia care certification, we are in a unique position to help families across the country, educating them about the disease,” Olea explained. “Our dementia care training enables us to provide much-needed support to families and when home care is not adequate, we help families find, at no cost, independent living, assisted living, and memory care.”

If you have questions about your loved one’s cognitive health and would like a free home care consultation, speak to an Assisted Living Locators Senior Care Advisor at 877-266-7788 or visit www.assistedlivinglocators.com.

In fact, earlier this year, Batteries Plus became the very first company in Samsung’s global Independent Service Provider program and its expansive WISE certification was the number one reason Samsung approached the brand for the partnership.

“While National Repair Done Right Month has just now become a recognized national holiday, Batteries Plus focuses on this mission each and every day,” added Williams. “Consumers depend on electronic devices to improve their lives and we make it easy for them to find quality service provided by trained and vetted repair professionals.”

The award ceremony will take place at the Palm Beach Atlantic University campus on November 16th.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — We are thrilled to announce Ray Titus, CEO, and founder of United Franchise Group, is the 2021 American Free Enterprise Medalist of the Year. The American Free Enterprise Medal was established by Palm Beach Atlantic University to recognize individuals whose hard work and achievement exemplify the best of the American free enterprise system. Titus will be the 35^th recipient of the award, an especially cherished honor since this year also marks the 35^th anniversary of United Franchise Group.

Titus, recognized as a global leader for entrepreneurs, founded Signarama in 1986 and began franchising stores soon after. He applied his successful franchise model to other business-to-business enterprises, eventually forming a family of brands and building the foundation for what is now, United Franchise Group (UFG), an international community, consisting of over 1,600 franchises in over 80 countries.

“It is such a pleasure to be involved with Palm Beach Atlantic University and I am especially honored to receive recognition from an organization that I am connected to in so many ways, through my community, my family, and my passion for entrepreneurship,” Titus commented.

Titus was recognized for his determination and leadership previously by Palm Beach Atlantic University in 2008 when he also received the American Free Enterprise companion medal. Since the honor was first established, only five other recipients have been recognized with both a companion medal and medalist of the year.

These notable icons of American business and philanthropy include:

John D. MacArthur – John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and MacArthur Fellows Program (also referred to as “genius grants”), Florida Atlantic University’s John D. MacArthur Campus Jupiter Florida, Palm Beach Atlantic University West Palm Beach Florida, John D. MacArthur Florida State Park

The American Free Enterprise Medal award ceremony will take place at the Palm Beach Atlantic University campus (1100 S. Dixie Highway, West Palm Beach, FL) in the Green Complex for Sports at 11 a.m. on November 16th, 2021. That same day at 3pm, Titus along with two previous American Free Enterprise companion medalists, will present “Everything I Needed to Learn About Business I Learned in a Franchise in the University’s Warren Library, (300 Pembroke Place in West Palm Beach, FL).
