9Round Celebrates First Grand Opening in Ecuador

Addition of Ecuador to the kickboxing franchise network brings the total number of countries where 9Round is open and operating to 19

July 31, 2019 // Franchising.com // GREENVILLE, S.C. - 9Round Franchising, LLC, officially opened this month the brand’s first studio in Ecuador. This milestone grand opening makes Ecuador the 18th country outside of the United States where 9Round locations are currently open and operating.

Ecuador’s inaugural 9Round studio is located in the country’s capital city of Quito. According to 9Round’s master franchise agreement with Ecuador that was finalized in February 2019, this studio is the first of nine 9Round studios scheduled for development in the country over the course of the next four years.

“Now that we’re officially open and operating in Ecuador, it is apparent that our expansion efforts in South America are being positively received,” said Shannon Hudson, Founder and CEO of 9Round. “Since the studio’s official grand opening earlier this month, we can already see firsthand how dedicated the people of Ecuador are to their fitness goals, and we look forward to seeing this from more members across the country and the entire continent as we grow our presence there in the years to come.”

The first facility in Ecuador is approximately 1,937 square feet. Unlike the standard franchise model in the U.S., this studio in Ecuador also has special amenities, including showers, a changing area, lockers and an administration area. Since the studio’s recent grand opening, its customer base has already grown to more than 100 members.

Development of 9Round in Ecuador is led by master franchisees Joseph Arocha, Gerardo Alfaro Soto and Carlos Balas. Alfaro Soto has worked with the brand previously as part of the successful master franchise team behind 9Round in Costa Rica.

The next expansion milestone 9Round is set to reach is the brand’s first grand opening in Colombia, which is expected to occur within the next five months.
