Description
Host: Michelle Rowan, President of Franchise Business Review
Guests; Toni King and Audrey Ryder, Multi-Unit Franchisees from YogaSix
Two elite athletes. One shared love of yoga. Seven studios and counting. On this episode of From A to Franchisee, host Michelle Rowan talks with Audrey Ryder and Toni King about trading a rowing career and a black belt in Taekwondo for life as YogaSix franchise owners.
They walk through how they picked YogaSix over other franchise options, the due diligence process that nearly sent them down a different path (including a tip involving Undercover Boss), and how they've split roles, scaled to multiple states, and leaned on a tight-knit owner network to grow. Plus: what's actually trending in boutique fitness right now, and their honest advice for couples thinking about going into business together.
Topics covered:
- From Olympic-level athletics to franchise ownership
- Vetting a franchise: the due diligence questions that matter most
- Splitting the workload as co-owners
- Scaling from one studio to seven across three states
- What franchisor support should look like for multi-unit owners
