(FranchisePick.Com) Where Would Jesus Work Out?
Ever ask yourself that question? Me neither, but I bet it would be at Lord’s Gym.
According to the Nashville Business Journal, a group of entrepreneurs including Off the Grill founder Alan Thompson is launching a “faith-based retail and fitness business” with plans to franchise the concept.
Their group, Club Management Systems LLC, plan to open Community Life Centre in 13,500 square feet of space in May, 2008 in Spring Hill, TN. The Centre will include a fitness center – the Lord’s Gym – an Off the Grill franchise, coffee shop and a dry cleaner.
According to the article: “Partnering on the venture are Thompson, Chip Wilson, Joe Brannon and Scott Frith. Wilson, spurred on by his 10-year-old idea, brought the team together in early 2007 and approached Thompson….Brannon and Frith are also partners in Vision Marketing Group LLC, a preexisting ad-placement company that will market the idea.” Source: Nashville Business Journal
