LA Boxing Continues Expansion in Oklahoma
Nationwide Cardio Boxing and Kickboxing Fitness Franchise Organization Expands to 127 Units
SANTA ANA, CA--(LAB NEWS WIRE)-May 13, 2009-LA BOXING Franchise Corporation, a national operator of distinctive cardio boxing and kickboxing health and fitness gyms, announced today the signing of the second franchise for the state of Oklahoma. The new franchise was awarded to Chris and Ron Underwood whose first LA BOXING gym opened in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in early 2009. This agreement is the 127th franchise that LA BOXING Franchise Corporation has awarded with locations in 22 states and Puerto Rico.
"Chris and Ron are planning to open more LA BOXING franchises in neighboring states. Their first gym in Tulsa has been very successful and we know that their operating experience will cause future units to do as well", said Anthony Geisler, president LA BOXING Franchise Corporation.
The Underwood family has made a substantial commitment to the LA BOXING franchise system. Members of the Underwood family have franchise operating experience in other industries as well.
"Our success in selling franchises during these difficult economic times has exceeded the franchise industry growth rates since the beginning of the year. My experience is that there are always businesses that will do well in a recession. I have been in the franchise development business for 30 years and have witnessed this trend at least a half dozen times. The ranks of out-of-work people are filled with executives who never want to work for anyone again," said Carl Kosnar, Managing Partner of The Kosnar Group, franchise development consultants for LA BOXING Franchise Corporation.
Kosnar went on to say, "The franchising business also is getting a boost from good property leasing deals. A year and a half ago, it would have been impossible for some of our franchisees to lease certain desirable properties. Not only can they lease these properties now, but the terms are far better."
LA BOXING is the gym of preference for amateur and professional athletes and people in the mainstream who are dedicated to leading fit and healthy lives.
