P.volve Continues Expansion with the Growth of its Studio Franchise Business and the Grand Opening of Inaugural Franchisee in Southern California

2023-02-07T20:24:20-05:00February 7th, 2023|Tags: , , , |

The popular functional fitness brand is scaling its brick-and-mortar footprint with new franchise location signings, its first franchise studio opening in San Diego, and more doors opening later this year.

NEW YORK — P.volve, the omni-channel fitness company with an innovative, science-led method that pairs functional movement with proprietary equipment, is opening its first franchise studio this week in San Diego. The newly minted San Diego location builds on the company’s existing owned and operated brick-and-mortar locations in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. The physical studios are just one more way to experience P.volve’s signature, low impact, resistance-based method which pushes you to break a sweat, but not your body.

P.volve’s programming is currently also accessible via a digital membership that offers unlimited access to stream the brand’s extensive live and on-demand library of classes, series and challenges via P.volve.com and a mobile app. Consumers who purchase an unlimited studio membership automatically get unlimited access to P.volve’s digital offering. Through its hybrid offerings, P.volve is designed to meet modern fitness consumers where they are and on their own terms.

“The franchise model allows us to bring P.volve’s unique method and patented equipment to more people, especially to those who crave live, in-person training,” said P.volve President Julie Cartwright. “We recognize that today’s consumer expects hybrid experiences across all aspects of their life, from work to shopping to fitness. Sometimes you just want to roll out of bed and get a killer workout at home, and other times you want to head to a class and train alongside others. P.volve can deliver on both.”

As the company fast-tracks toward its aggressive goal of opening more franchise studios this year, it’s also looking to new markets across the U.S., UK and Canada.

The San Diego Location

The first franchised studio, located within Westfield UTC (4575 La Jolla Village Dr #1172, San Diego) is situated in one of P.volve’s top 20 digital markets for virtual class registrations and is owned by Kirstin and John Keohane, who have signed on for three locations within the area. Kirstin Keohane has a lifelong love of fitness and sport, and at one time competed at the national level in ringette, a sport similar to hockey.

“P.volve is changing the conversation around holistic wellness. Our workouts fill a real need in fitness, marrying both intense toning with functional movements that help restore and support the body so you can feel incredible both inside and out,” said P.volve franchise owner Kirstin Keohane. “We’re proud to open P.volve’s first franchise studio and look forward to bringing this effective low-impact method that improves strength, stability, mobility and physique to greater San Diego.”

The momentum doesn’t stop at San Diego. P.volve has also awarded franchises for studios across the U.S., all set to open by Q4 2023. Confirmed areas include Northwest Suburbs, Ill.; Bergen County, N.J.; Carlsbad, Cali.; Fort Worth, Texas and Nashville, Tenn., as well as two locations in Canada, Calgary and Victoria, with several additional franchisees in the pipeline.

All franchised P.volve studio locations are strategically situated in areas of concentrated demand. P.volve works to equip partners with a toolkit for success, from providing valuable data, site scores and demographic reports, to access to an experienced real estate and general contracting team—all to ensure the process of opening a studio is seamless and efficient.

2023-02-03T10:08:05-05:00February 3rd, 2023|Tags: , , , , , |

Roll-off Dumpster Rental Business Maintains Strong Retention Rate Earning Several Franchise Industry Accolades.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Since its inception, redbox+ Dumpsters has become the answer to the construction, renovation, and restoration industries’ woes on how to keep job sites clean and efficient. While it also offers traditional roll-off dumpsters, the company is best known for its patented combination portable toilet and roll-off dumpster container that brings added convenience and efficiency to any job site.

The past 12 months have led to strong performance for redbox+ Dumpsters due to the increased demand for home renovations in the construction segment, coupled with the brand’s promise to deliver its innovative roll-off dumpsters on time. The company closed out 2022 with upwards of 300 franchise territories and more than 80 franchisees across the country. In addition, it has continued to hold a 90 percent retention rate with contract partners and its position as a market differentiator in an economically resilient sector. In 2023, redbox+ Dumpsters is expecting another year of double-digit unit growth by adding individuals to the franchise system who have a desire to be a part of the brand’s upward growth trajectory, be independent and are dedicated to providing the highest level of customer service.

Starting 2023 off strong, redbox+ Dumpsters has been recognized as number one in its category and in the top half of Entrepreneur Magazine’s ‘Franchise 500’ list. Within the past year, the brand was also placed on Franchise Dictionary Magazine’s annual list of the “Top 100 Game Changers”. After reviewing hundreds of entries, Franchise Dictionary Magazine’s editorial team selected redbox+ Dumpsters as a brand that has changed the game, further proving its innovative product line has positioned the brand as a disruptor in its segment.

Additionally, much of redbox+ Dumpsters’ expansion in recent years can be attributed to being acquired by BELFOR Franchise Group, a family of 13 industry-leading residential and commercial service brands owned by the worldwide restoration leader BELFOR Property Restoration. The relationship has brought redbox+ Dumpsters franchise owners tangible benefits and further solidified the brand as one of the most trusted names in the business. This has allowed entrepreneurs to build successful businesses in their local community as a result of BELFOR’s built-in expansive knowledge, operational expertise, and ecosystem of connections in the service industry. So far, the home office team has added three new regional business coaches and a marketing coordinator to support franchisees as the brand scales toward a national footprint.

“We are extremely excited about the growth we’ve seen in the past few years and the growth we see ahead of us,” said Rusty Amarante, president of redbox+ Dumpsters. “A turnkey business model combined with an innovative concept like ours sets franchisees up for success.

The solid number of new territories, which includes Kitchen Tune-Up and Bath Tune-Up’s international expansion into Canada, and units sold systemwide, caps a year filled with success and have helped to position the brand for a profitable, successful year ahead. Across the franchise system, Home Franchise Concepts’ brands serviced hundreds of thousands of customers in 2022, with a significant increase projected for 2023 as customers continue to put their trust in the high-quality performance of the brand’s portfolio of franchises.  

“The elevated revenue and expanded brand reach across the U.S. positions Home Franchise Concepts as a leader in the home service segment and our team is constantly striving for newer, bigger goals as our robust franchise network continues to push us forward,” Jonathan Thiessen, Chief Development Officer of Home Franchise Concepts. “Across our entire portfolio of home brands, Home Franchise Concepts recognizes the core of our ongoing success is our team. Focusing on top-of-the-line training is one of the many ways our team prioritizes supporting franchisee owners to become profitable quickly and confidently. Franchise owners also have the unique opportunity to own multiple complimentary Home Franchise Concepts brands, allowing them to grow within our network and reap the benefits of overall brand success.”

Building on the momentum of last year, the company is projected to hit $1.5B in sales in 2023 with goals of 220 new deals signed before year’s end. Home Franchise Concepts plans to continue expanding its franchise footprint across multiple brands nationwide, targeting new territories in the United States and Canada with California being a major focal point for growth companywide.
