Grease Monkey to Celebrate Grand Opening with First ‘Store of the Future’ Prototype Design

2023-07-18T10:25:13-04:00July 18th, 2023|Tags: , , , , |

FullSpeed Automotive® First to Modernize Auto Aftermarket Repair Industry with Design & Technology Enhancements. 

WARNER ROBINS, Ga. — FullSpeed Automotive®, one of the nation’s largest franchisors and operators of automotive aftermarket repair facilities and home to flagship brands Grease Monkey®, SpeeDee Oil Change & Auto Service®, and Kwik Kar®, recently opened its highly anticipated first ground-up ‘Store of the Future’ location, a Grease Monkey store at 2305 Watson Blvd., Warner Robins, GA. The new location will host a grand opening event officially unveiling the store on August 3 through August 5, with a ribbon cutting ceremony on August 3 at 4:00 p.m., that is free and open to the public.

Behind the first ground-up Store of the Future location is Salim Chhotoo, Co-Owner and Director of Operations. Chhotoo joined forces with two young entrepreneurs, Zain Attawala and Sagar Panjwani, to build the first Store of the Future center, proudly displaying the sign “Done Fast. Done Right.™” on the top right of the building. This is a visible reminder of the dedication to excellence, and resonates deeply with the commitment to providing efficient and high-quality services.

“Opening the first Store of the Future location is an honor,” said Salim Chhotoo. “We are very happy to open our first Grease Monkey store in Warner Robins, Georgia, which is the ‘Home of Planes, Trains, and Heroes.’ The new features will attract and retain loyal customers because of the advanced streamlined operations and quality lounge areas created with the customer in mind. Our quality and quick service is now paired with a design and ease that will benefit everyone.”

The community is invited to celebrate the new store on Thursday, August 3, for the Ribbon Cutting ceremony at 4:00 pm. The three-day Grand Opening event will be filled with fun activities including food, drinks, giveaways, and a chance to win many great prizes with ‘spin the wheel with every oil change’ on the event days.

The appearance of facilities in the auto aftermarket repair industry has been largely untouched for years, making FullSpeed’s all new models for both Grease Monkey and SpeeDee a revolutionary move in an effort to modernize the industry. The Store of the Future models were designed by renowned design firm Studio|H2G from Detroit, Michigan. These instantly identifiable façades help both brands stand out from the competition: Done Fast. Done Right.™ (Grease Monkey) and Total Trust Guarantee® (SpeeDee).

Key features of the new store include new express lanes with a 15-minute stay-in-the-car model; clear and directional signage on the parking lot to bring ease to the consumer; all new comfortable lounge areas and patio seating with refreshments and entertainment for units that already provide additional services; plus, state-of-the-art technology and artificial intelligence that will educate, inform, and streamline the customer experience.

“The first Store of the Future location built out extremely well,” said Ron Stilwell, President, FullSpeed Automotive. “Although the location is new, we have received many compliments from customers about the design and ease of service. We anticipate even more positive feedback, and are excited to continue rolling out the new store prototypes across the country.”

FullSpeed Automotive is looking to bring on qualified and engaged individuals seeking single, multi-unit, and conversion opportunities.

Pvolve Awards 19 New Franchise Studios Amid Rapid Global Expansion

2023-07-18T10:12:11-04:00July 18th, 2023|Tags: , , , |

The Functional Fitness Leader Continues to See Growth on the Heels of Partnership with Jennifer Aniston, Investments in Franchise Development, Among Other Company Milestones. 

NEW YORK — Omni-channel functional fitness leader, Pvolve, continues to rapidly expand its studio footprint, announcing today the awarding of nine new franchise locations. These newly awarded franchise studios join a fast-growing list, bringing the total number of new franchises awarded and currently open or in development to 19 across the U.S. and Canada. The 19 franchise studios join three corporate owned locations already open in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago, meaningfully expanding the brand’s accessibility to more consumers looking to experience Pvolve’s signature method in person.

For those not within range of a studio, Pvolve is also available via its digital platform that streams live and on-demand classes via Pvolve.com and the Pvolve app, supporting the brand’s vision to meet consumers anytime, anyplace and at any point in their fitness journey.

The company’s first franchise location opened its doors in San Diego earlier this year with Carlsbad, Calif. and Victoria, British Columbia (Canada) now in pre-sale, with official openings slated for late summer and fall, respectively. Others set to open include Nashville, Tenn.; Algonquin, Ill.; Calgary, Alberta (Canada); Fort Worth, Texas; Columbia, S.C. and two studios in Bergen County, N.J. Building on these locations, the company’s most recently awarded franchises include two additional studios in San Diego, Calif.; one studio each in Encinitas and Marina Del Ray, Calif.; Atlanta, Ga.; Arlington Va. and three studios in Salt Lake City, Utah. This brings the total number of Pvolve studios awarded and currently in development to 19.

Pvolve recently announced a new partnership with world-renowned actress, producer and director, Jennifer Aniston, who joined Pvolve in June to help lead the company into its next chapter. By way of this partnership, Jen will be focusing on key areas of business growth such as product development, marketing and programming strategy. Since the announcement of Jen joining Pvolve in June, the brand has already received more than a 125% increase in franchise inquiries.

“It has been quite a year for Pvolve, one that positions us well to execute against our hybrid business model, of which franchising is a critical component,” said Julie Cartwright, president of Pvolve. “Our leadership team, in collaboration with our franchise owners, are redefining what it means to build a business that you have heart for. The insurmountable level of motivation and vision that exists among our team is inspiring, to say the least. And, with Jen now on board, we’re bracing ourselves for long-term, industry-defining success. I can’t wait to see what the future holds.”

For studios currently open in Chicago, Los Angeles, New York and San Diego, and soon-to-be-open studios in Carlsbad and Victoria (BC, Canada), members can experience exciting new ways to Pvolve this summer. Following on its omnichannel strategy to build out a robust and integrated offering, Pvolve is giving streaming and studio members a chance to experience the best of both worlds this July with a promotion:

  • Studio members can get one month of complimentary on-demand access and 20% off all equipment purchased in the studio.
  • Streaming members can get a complimentary in-person class and 20% off their first month of any studio membership.

This is just a glimpse into the cross-platform offers Pvolve members can expect to help them seamlessly access the signature method.

Pvolve’s franchise model offers a foundation for a studio owner to lead—and succeed. Through a comprehensive end-to-end owner experience, franchisees receive hands-on support from Pvolve throughout the entire journey, from real estate and location vetting to assistance with permitting, leasing, construction design, staffing, training and beyond, ensuring studio owners have the right tools and direction for long-term studio success.
