World Gym International announced it has added 11 gyms in the second quarter of 2016.
“The World Gym brand continues its exciting global expansion,” said Joyce J. Cammilleri, Chair of World Gym International, in a press release. “Taiwan, Australia, Mexico and South America have all been strong growth areas for us this quarter and we are expecting to announce even more development in Europe, Mexico and the United States in the coming months. Our current franchisees are reporting more success than ever, thanks in part to our new marketing support programs and flexible business models that help our franchisees increase their bottom line.”
In the second quarter, World Gym opened or signed deals for franchised gyms in Australia (Brendale, North Lakes and Surfer’s Paradise), Brazil (Curtiba), Mexico (Arboledas, Coacalco, Luna Parc), Taiwan (Hsinchu Zhongzheng, Taipei Sanchong, Yilan You-Ai) and in the U.S. in Healdsburg, California.
