Another Nine Expands Across North Carolina After Selling Out Charlotte Market

September 04, 2026 // Franchising.com // Cincinnati - Another Nineis expanding its footprint across North Carolina following the successful launch of its first franchise location in Cornelius. With the Charlotte metro area now fully sold out at 12 planned locations, Another Nine is opening new franchise territories throughout the state, giving prospective owners the opportunity to bring the brand to their own communities.

North Carolina Market Presence

Located in the Lake Norman area, Another Nine’s Cornelius location marked the brand’s first franchise opening and quickly became the foundation for a broader push into the Charlotte market. Owned and operated by franchise owner Matt Hess, the location is the first of five he plans to open across the greater Charlotte area, part of a 12-location build-out that made Charlotte the first fully sold-out market in Another Nine’s franchise network.

Building on that momentum and North Carolina’s favorable business environment, Another Nine is now offering franchise territories in markets across North Carolina, including:

• Asheville
• Winston-Salem
• High Point
• Greensboro
• Graham
• Chapel Hill
• Durham
• Cary
• Holly Springs
• Raleigh
• Wake Forest
• Greenville
• Fayetteville
• Wilmington

“Cornelius showed us what happens when the right operator brings this model to the right community, and the response from golfers has been incredible,” said Ethan Grob, Co-Founder and CEO of Another Nine. “Charlotte selling out this quickly tells us there’s plenty of demand for a concept like Another Nine in North Carolina.”

A 24/7 Indoor Golf Model

Each facility features all-private Sim Suites available around the clock through the A9OS booking platform. Guests can reserve a suite by the hour, any time of day or night, and play Trackman-powered golf across more than 350 courses without a membership requirement.

The model is designed to provide a streamlined operating structure. Without a bar or restaurant component and with technology supporting booking, access, and guest support, Another Nine locations are built to operate with a leaner footprint and minimal overhead, compared with many entertainment concepts.
