MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Anytime
Fitness, the world's largest and fastest-growing fitness club
chain, and Waxing the City, a premier facial and body waxing
franchise, have recently ranked in Entrepreneur magazine's
Franchise 500®, the world's first, best and most
comprehensive franchise ranking. Placement in the Franchise
500® is a highly sought-after honor in the franchise
industry making it one of the most competitive rankings ever.
Recognized as an invaluable resource for potential franchisees, the
Franchise 500® ranks Anytime Fitness and Waxing the City
as no. 20 and no. 273, respectively.
These rankings are a testament to both company's strength as a
franchise opportunity while enhancing the Self Esteem Brands
portfolio – which has recently expanded to also include Basecamp
Fitness and The Bar Method. Key factors that go into the Franchise
500® evaluation include costs and fees, size and growth,
support, brand strength, and financial strength and stability.
In 2019 alone, Anytime Fitness surpassed its growth goals to
open more than 400 gyms, making the brand the largest and fastest
growing gym franchise 12 years in a row, with locations now on all
seven continents. Boasting strong year-over-year revenue growth,
Anytime Fitness has aggressive goals to expand its footprint both
in the United States and
internationally, including recent deals in South Korea and South Africa.
Playing a dominate role in the beauty industry, Waxing the City
continues its aggressive growth trajectory– now boasting 118
locations currently open and operating. Company executives continue
to identify strategic franchise partners in 2020, putting a heavy
focus on growing the brand's footprint in key markets across the
country. In addition to franchise growth momentum, Waxing the City
also named a new Brand President,
Nick Herrild, who in 2019 was
promoted from his role as vice president of franchise support and
brings 15 years of experience growing franchise brands.
"Being recognized in this highly competitive ranking doesn't
just get our team excited, it gets us motivated - because we're one
step closer to our mission of improving the self-esteem of the
world," said Chuck Runyon,
co-founder and CEO of Self Esteem Brands. "All our brands have
tremendous growth potential and provide our members and clients
with the finest services available, but the real credit falls on
our franchises. We're not looking to simply grow a franchise brand
– we're searching for local entrepreneurs who share our passion for
building relationships and helping others so that we can achieve
our vision across the globe."

Fitness, and The Bar Method – seeks to enrich the lives of all
