For example, 9Round, Simpsonville, South Carolina, ranked No. 46 on the Top 100 Clubs list with $22.79 million in corporate-owned club revenue and revenue from franchise fees. However, the company also reported $142 million in total franchise revenue, which includes revenue from corporate-owned clubs, franchisee fees and revenue from each franchise in 2018.
Please note that the revenue for both numbers are self-reported, so accuracy of the fulll brand revenue is contingent upon the franchisor having a full reporting from each franchisee. Some of the franchisors did not report the revenue figure that includes franchisee revenue.
Club Industry calculates the annual Top 100 Clubs list using only corporate-owned club revenue and franchisee fees for franchised brands because each franchisee can submit to be on the list as its own entity.
In this gallery, Club Industry is listing each brand in the order in which they appeared on the full Top 100 Clubs list, even if their full revenue (including franchisee revenue) would actually rank them higher.
