Cruise Industry Leader Celebrates 2018 Milestones; Looks to Build on Innovation and Growth in 2019

BELLEVUE, Wash. — The top cruise travel agency franchise in North America, Expedia CruiseShipCenters, announced a milestone-heavy year for the growing brand. In 2018, the brick and mortar travel agency awarded its 100th franchise in the U.S., signed its first multi-unit deal, and exhibited 17 percent year-over-year growth. Riding this wave of momentum in 2019, the company expects another high performing year with 35 new franchise locations projected to open.

Adding to the several notable growth achievements over the past year, Expedia CruiseShipCenters awarded 26 new franchises and achieved over $790 million in gross bookings in 2018. The brand also received industry recognition, winning Carnival Cruise Line’s Retail Partner of the Year Award, Holland America Line’s Franchise Agency Network Award, and Norwegian Cruise Line’s Canadian Retail Partner of the Year, among several others. Most notable, Expedia CruiseShipCenters was ranked on Entrepreneur Magazine’s annual Franchise 500 ranking. The prestigious ranking is a testament to the brand’s ability to grow its footprint across North America while continuing to provide unparalleled franchisee support and customer service.

“2018 was a strong year for the brand, as we achieved some new milestones, won a series of supplier awards, and continued to build on the success from last year,” said Matthew Eichhorst, President of Expedia CruiseShipCenters. “We hope to keep this momentum going in 2019, and with our continued focus on agent recruitment and retention, and our plan to incorporate technology and data to drive our consumer outreach, I believe this will be another incredible year for us.”

In 2019, Expedia CruiseShipCenters has eyes set on key markets throughout the U.S. for development including Florida, Texas and California, Georgia, Illinois, and Washington.

With the cruise travel industry expected to continue its rise throughout 2019, Expedia CruiseShipCenters’ growth is in part driven by this continued demand. According to the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) report, more than 30M passengers are expected to cruise in 2019 – a 34percent increase from five years prior. Additionally, 24 new ocean, river and specialty ships are scheduled to debut this year, with more than 125 new ships coming online between now and 2027.

Row House to Debut in Canada, Marking First International Studio

2019-03-12T14:53:44-04:00March 12th, 2019|Tags: , , , , |

Boutique Rowing Concept Opens First Canadian Studio in Toronto This Summer

IRVINE, Calif. — Following its rapid development in the United States, Row House, a low-impact, high-energy indoor rowing concept, announced today its first international studio development in Canada. As the demand for unique, boutique fitness concepts grows in the country, the brand is well-positioned to succeed with its efficient and effective rowing workouts. The inaugural Canadian location is set to debut in Toronto, and is targeting an opening date in summer 2019.

Currently Row House has 16 locations open and 200 territories sold in the United States and is on track to have over 100 studios open by the end of 2019. The company’s extensive domestic growth and success have led Row House to seek out international markets for expansion.

“Demand for this groundbreaking concept is incredibly high right now, so in Canada, we expect to see a trajectory of growth similar to what has occurred in the United States,” said Ramon Castillon, President of Row House. “We’re confident that our neighbors to the north will fully embrace the camaraderie, inclusivity and total-body results that Row House offers.”

The Toronto studio will be owned and operated by local entrepreneurs Steven and Elena Gliosca. Steven has worked in IT for 20 years, developing startups in Eastern Canada, while Elena is the owner of a local portrait photography studio. They were immediately hooked on the Row House workout and strong sense of community after visiting one of the brand’s New York locations.

“We are excited to bring the indoor rowing revolution to Canada with our Toronto studio,” said Elena. “As our city’s busy fitness scene continues to shift toward boutique offerings, we know that the population is going to fall in love with this well-balanced, structured and efficient workout.”

Long recognized by the rowing community as one of the most effective forms of full-body exercise, Row House will provide Canadian citizens an alternative fitness regimen that focuses on the safety and longevity of their bodies. The modern studio welcomes members into an atmosphere centered on camaraderie and drive, where participants row in-sync on state-of-the-art Concept2 rowing machines. Used every day by Olympic athletes, cardiac rehab patients, individuals at home and every caliber of rower in-between, the Concept2 is the authentic choice for those looking to marry low-impact cardio and strength training into one workout.

Row House, backed by Xponential Fitness’ team with more than 25 years’ experience in fitness franchising, is actively seeking qualified and passionate franchise partners to capitalize on the emerging market success. Backed by a wealth of support, infrastructure and knowledge, the total investment fee to open a Row House is $231,600–$333,750.

Oasis Senior Advisors Partners with Author, Hilarity for Charity

2019-03-11T20:12:45-04:00March 11th, 2019|Tags: , , , , , |

Bonita Springs-based franchisor helps provide caregiver support

BONITA SPRINGS, Fla. — A vast burden sits on the shoulders of caregivers for those with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. That’s why Oasis Senior Advisors is teaming up with Seth Rogen’s nonprofit Hilarity for Charity and healthcare author Jennifer L. FitzPatrick to launch a free virtual book club for dementia caregivers based on FitzPatrick’s book “Cruising Through Caregiving: Reducing the Stress of Caring for Your Loved One.”

Club participants will meet online for 15 weeks beginning May 15 to discuss topics addressed in the book, including how to pay for care and how to balance caregiving with a career.

“We’re thrilled to provide help for a growing segment of the population facing a tremendous challenge,” Oasis Senior Advisors CEO Tim Evankovich said. “As our population ages and dementia becomes more common, more caregivers require support for the stressful work they do every day.”

“Cruising Through Caregiving” is a down-to-earth yet authoritative guide to becoming a responsible, loving dementia caregiver without being overcome by guilt, exhaustion or worry. It calls upon advice and resources from FitzPatrick and 24 other professionals to help caregivers maintain their health, relationships, financial stability and more.

FitzPatrick is a gerontology instructor at Johns Hopkins University and a regular contributor to national media on dementia and caregiving issues. She’s also a certified speaking professional with a master’s in social work and broad firsthand experience as a caregiver.

Rogen and wife Lauren Miller Rogen founded Hilarity for Charity, which benefits families struggling to provide care for loved ones with Alzheimer’s disease, funds Alzheimer’s prevention research, promotes brain health education and bolsters support groups. The Golden Globe-nominated actor and comedian has helped raise more than $10 million through an annual Hilarity for Charity comedy show now streaming on Netflix.

“It’s exciting to see so many talented and influential people recognize the value of helping those with Alzheimer’s and dementia as well as their families,” Evankovich said. “We’re dedicated to providing no-cost help for seniors and families, and to sticking with them every step of the way.”

Boutique Rowing Concept’s Popularity Skyrockets as Transformative Workout Gains Momentum Across Country

IRVINE, Calif. — Since launching its franchise opportunity just 12 short months ago, Row House, the nation’s leading boutique rowing concept, has crossed yet another milestone – the signing of its 200th franchise agreement. This accomplishment falls right in line with the brand’s overarching goal to open more than 100 studio locations each year through 2022.

The recently signed agreements will bring new locations to states such as Arizona, Georgia, Florida, Maryland, Colorado and California, where over 20 new studios are planned. Long recognized by the rowing community as one of the most effective forms of full-body exercise, Row House is shining a spotlight on an oft-neglected piece of exercise equipment and fueling the revitalization of one of America’s oldest sports.

“We have been extremely pleased with the growth of Row House in its first year, and with these recently signed deals, this unstoppable momentum will continue for the next few years,” said Ramon Castillon, President of Row House. “Row House stands out in the crowded boutique fitness space with its fresh, high-energy, low-impact workouts, and is leading the way as the number one indoor rowing experience on the market. We are excited to continue changing lives with this revolutionary fitness concept.”

Row House is a fitness community focused on providing the comradery and drive fostered by the sport of rowing. By offering a variety of classes, those of different strengths and abilities come together for a synchronized group fitness experience. In class, participants row on the same stroke, moving as a unit, but also have the ability to row at their own intensity. As rowing is one of the most effective low-impact, high-energy workouts, each stroke offers participants the opportunity to engage 85 percent of the body’s muscles with a low risk of injury – maximizing calorie burn, activating the core, strengthening and lengthening the body and ultimately improving posture.

To continue their rapid expansion, Row House is actively seeking qualified franchise partners. Headquartered in Irvine, CA, Row House is backed by Xponential Fitness, a powerhouse curator of leading boutique fitness brands. The Row House franchise opportunity offers potential franchisees the opportunity to capitalize on an emerging fitness market across all 50 states. With a total investment of $231,600–$333,750, Row House provides sound business opportunity along with a wealth of support, infrastructure and knowledge from the Xponential Fitness team.
