Leading Fitness Franchise Flexes New Brand Partnership, Fueling the Next Generation of Athletes & Fitness Enthusiasts

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — D1 Training, a leading fitness concept utilizing the five core tenets of athletic-based training to help people of all ages achieve their sport and fitness goals, announces a formal partnership with PRIME, the viral sports drink brand founded by Logan Paul and KSI, across its more than 100 locations nationwide.

The partnership marks a strategic alliance between a brand synonymous with high-caliber athletic performance and the fastest-growing hydration company in country. Together, these dynamic, forward-thinking brands are not only providing tens of thousands of athletes with a better alternative to traditional sugary sports drinks, but also properly fueling the next generation of sports superstars and fitness enthusiasts.

With bold, thirst-quenching flavors to help refresh, replenish, and refuel, PRIME’s goal is to create a drink that can fuel any lifestyle. Available in a range of flavors that include orange, grape, ice pop, blue raspberry, lemon lime and tropical punch, each drink comes with added nutritional benefits to compliment taste. PRIME has a coconut water base and boasts BCAA to aid muscle recovery, B vitamins, antioxidants, and electrolytes.

PRIME products and retail items are now available at all D1 locations nationwide. The partnership will be further activated across consumer engagement, signage, print materials, and digital and social engagement.

“This partnership with a young, dynamic brand confirms our commitment to innovation,” said Will Bartholomew, D1 Training Founder and CEO. “We continue to seek out new opportunities that allow us to flex our marketing muscles, proving we are a dominate force in the industry as we evolve to meet the wants and needs of today’s modern consumer. As the partnership further develops, we’ll look to integrate PRIME into various onsite camps and events, especially for our youth athletes.”

This partnership announcement comes on the heels of an impressive year for D1, achieving substantial revenue growth across current facilities and the opening of 26 new locations. In 2024, D1 has set its plans to open more than 50 units with double that in development, bringing its future total to 250 units.

The brand has put a refined focus on its commitment to the D1 Training mission, which is to create a space for and support athletes of any age in their fitness goals. With a service mindset, the brand has been able to refine and optimize the business model and athlete experience. This has resulted in strong performance and 6.5% revenue growth compared to the previous year.

All D1 locations offer three core training programs, Scholastic (Rookie, Developmental, Prep and Overtime), Adult and Pro. Each fitness program is based on the five athletic-based tenets: dynamic warm-up, performance, strength program, core and conditioning, and cool down. Outside of group workouts, D1 offers one-on-one training with world-class coaches.

The industry remains strong as ever, with an untapped growth potential in scholastic training. The competitive landscape of youth sports is ever changing and having access to a place like D1 – where young athletes can hone their skills – is becoming increasingly important. This paired with D1’s adult and personal training programs provides an unmatched opportunity. With vast whitespace across the country, eager and passionate franchisees are flocking to the franchise opportunity and growth potential.

Pet Supplies Plus and Wag N’ Wash Award 95 Agreements in 2023 with Robust Opening Pipeline as Pet Industry Continues to Surge

Paul Zboichyk2024-02-14T21:19:32-05:00February 14th, 2024|Tags: partnership, Pet Retail, Pet Supplies Plus|

With Double-Digit Growth, Pet Supplies Plus Ranks No. 21 in Franchise 500^® Ranking + Wag N’ Wash Hits Major Milestones

LIVONIA, Mich. — Leading the charge in an industry that continues to rise, Pet Supplies Plus and Wag N’ Wash embark on a new year with double-digit signed franchise agreements and openings in 2023. While each franchise opportunity provides prospects a unique offering, both legacy brand Pet Supplies Plus and emerging concept Wag N’ Wash have the billion-dollar backing of 30+ years of franchise and industry experience.

As the largest pet retail franchise in North America, Pet Supplies Plus wrapped the year awarding 83 franchise agreements and maintaining its robust store services growth. Wag N’ Wash, the emerging self-wash, grooming and natural pet food franchise, secured 12 agreements and has now doubled in store count since being acquired in early 2022.

Even amidst economic uncertainty, consumer spending in the pet industry has maintained its upward trajectory, having increased over 51% between 2018 and 2022. If this trend continues, the industry could be valued at nearly $275 billion in 2030, positioning both Pet Supplies Plus and Wag N’ Wash for significant growth with a turnkey franchise opportunity.

“Reflecting on the year, the key to our success has been building off a strong track record, immense passion of our current franchise owners, emphasizing our recession-resilient business, and leveraging our strong leadership team,” shared Nick Russo, Chief Development and Stores Officer of Pet Supplies Plus Group. “Regardless of experience, franchisees can find their perfect match here – whether that’s a full-service, large-format store like Pet Supplies Plus or a smaller, service-driven dog specialty store such as Wag N’ Wash.”

Alongside a strategic development plan that fueled its growth, grand openings also took center stage last year with the addition of 62 new stores for Pet Supplies Plus and 13 for Wag N’ Wash. Notably, one of these was the opening of Michigan’s first Wag N’ Wash, which also serves as the flagship location, sitting in the heart of Ann Arbor.

“We expect 2024 to be another strong year as we remain laser focused on growing the footprint of Pet Supplies Plus while continuing to roll out Wag N’ Wash in new markets,” added Russo. “Interest in the Pet Supplies Plus brand has never been stronger for both new and existing markets. Equally impressive, Wag N’ Wash has been a popular commodity, so we anticipate to sell a record number of stores this year.”

The success of Pet Supplies Plus has not gone unnoticed. Most recently, the brand was named the top pet franchise in Entrepreneur‘s Franchise 500^®, the world’s first and most comprehensive franchise ranking. Landing No. 21 on the overall list, this is the tenth consecutive year Pet Supplies Plus earned the top spot in its category. The franchise brand also earned a ranking on Forbes’ inaugural list of ‘Best Customer Service’ – which is a core pillar for the brand. Both of these prestigious awards further position Pet Supplies Plus as an industry leader, for both franchising and pet retail.

In addition to prioritizing innovation to meet the changing needs and wants of its consumers with private brand offerings and new launches, Pet Supplies Plus and Wag N’ Wash are rooted in a booming industry and supported with advanced marketing strategies, supply chain efficiencies and omni-channel shopping options.

Both Pet Supplies Plus and Wag N’ Wash are actively seeking single and multi-unit owners to join their growing families.

The leading window treatment consultation franchise opens second location in Louisiana

PONCHATOULA, La. — Gotcha Covered, a leader in custom window treatment consultation in the U.S. and Canada, recently welcomed Jason and Heather Roper to their growing list of franchise owners. The couple are the owners and operators of Gotcha Covered of Mandeville Covington, the second location in Louisiana.

With an emphasis on end-to-end consultations, the new center provides the best in soft and hard window treatments to homeowners on the North Shore by offering a variety of blinds, draperies, smart solutions and much more.

“We are always looking for opportunities to expand the Gotcha Covered brand nationwide,” said Paul Linenberg, president of Gotcha Covered. “The new location in Louisiana is a testament to how quickly we are growing. Jason and Heather (Roper) have a tremendous opportunity to showcase to the Mandeville and Ponchatoula communities the importance of having a trusted window treatment business locally. We are confident that they will have a positive impact on the community by delivering an excellent customer experience.”

The Ropers bring diverse backgrounds to the Gotcha Covered family. Jason spent the bulk of his career as the owner of a landscape management company. He also spent time as the supervisor of Los Robles Golf Course in California.

Heather learned the elements of design early through cosmetology, which led to a career in sales management with Procter and Gamble. She also served as the director of e-commerce at Coty Inc. and Wella Company.

The idea of buying a franchise came when the COVID-19 pandemic struck, and the couple started looking for opportunities closer to home.

“After our daughter, Rachael, graduated from high school, Heather and I moved to California for a few years to expand Heather’s corporate career in sales leadership,” said Jason Roper. “When COVID-19 hit, we started looking for an opportunity to come back home to Louisiana and be near our family and friends. We wanted a business that would combine both our strengths and allow us to retire from something we built together. We also wanted more flexibility with our time so we could spend it with our grandchildren and family.”

“Gotcha Covered allows us to continue to grow and achieve many short-term and long-term goals. This franchise is the means for us to stay challenged and productive, serve the people in our community, fulfill our purpose and enjoy our future.”

Regarding the window treatment industry, it’s building relationships and the one-on-one time they get to spend with customers that the Ropers enjoy the most.

“Working with customers to design their perfect look is something we love to do. Our products also allow us to solve any issues homeowners may have,” Heather Roper said. “We love working together and the time this business affords us.”

Adding 30 new franchise locations in 2023, Gotcha Covered currently has over 170 total franchises across the U.S. and Canada. The franchise has been operating under the Gotcha Covered name since 2009.
