Key Employees

1 manager, 5 part-time employees are ready and willing to stay on.

Facilities

Two Clubs are 2400 SF, one is 1550 SF, and the fourth is 1200 SF. All are located in high traffic strip malls with plenty of parking and have low priced leases with options to extend with minimal price escalations now and in the future. Great layouts- all clubs are fully equipped with ample room for the circuit training, dressing rooms, large restrooms and places to relax and enjoy the comradarie that Curves encourages.

Market Share

Curves brand dominates the market with over 9,300 Clubs operating worldwide. The first fitness and weight loss facility dedicated to providing affordable one-stop exercise and nutritional information for women, Curves' success stems from its proven innovative 30-minute workout. While competition exists in all four markets, it hasn't had a consequential impact and no additional Curves will enter these four towns.

Competition

A full time owner-operator would boost profits. Merchandising opportunities (nutritional supplements, weight loss products, etc.) are thus far untapped.

Other Information

Curves Corporate in Waco, TX provides one week of training as part of the transfer fee. The Owner of these four Clubs will also offer an additional week to further orient the new Owner.
