Fast-food & other franchises get the headlines, but there's a category that:

• Has high margins
• Can be fun to operate
• Only requires $40k-$90k investments

And there's a company acquiring these brands for the benefit of their franchisees.

Meet Youth Athletes United:
Adam Geisler & John Erlandson formed Youth Athletes United in 2018.

Their mission is to positively impact 1 million kids every year.

Today, the Youth Athletes umbrella includes:

• 3 franchise brands
• 112 franchise owners
• 268 units in operation
The franchise brands are:

• TGA
• Soccer Stars
• Amazing Athletes

Soccer Stars just started franchising last year, but is pretty eye catching with 13 units open, and a killer investment profile so far:

• Average EBITDA: $615,475
• Investment Range: $69k - $90k
Adam and John have strategically put together the current brand portfolio.

With multiple offerings for the "first sport experience" for kids, franchisees can provide services for children from age 1-14+.
A current multi-brand operator out of Florida is doing just that.

She purchased into Amazing Athletes in 2019, and bought out the same market for Soccer Stars last year.

From our convo, she thinks she'll hit $500k in revenue this year at "close to a 50% margin".
She aims to hit $2M in annual revenue over the next 6 years.

When I asked her about the prospect of adding the 3rd brand under Youth Athletes to the portfolio, her response was immediate:

"It definitely makes sense to buy TGA at some point"
And this is exactly what Adam and John want for their franchisees -

To be able to go deep in their market with multiple brands, rather than wide with multi-territories of 1 brand.

Since each brand is under the YAU umbrella, the tech stack and ops playbook remains the same.

America may run on Dunkin', but Japan runs on Mister Donut.

In fact, this eerily similar competitor was spawned from a bitter business breakup with Dunkin's founder, decades ago.

Here's how a family feud changed the trajectory of donuts in both America AND Japan: Image
In 1933, William Rosenberg got a job as a delivery boy at Jack & Jill Ice Cream when he was 17 years old.

In just 4 years, he worked his way up to becoming the National Sales Manager.

His rapid ascent was thanks to an early mentor, Harry Winokur. Image
When the United States entered WWII 2 years later, Rosenberg got a job at a steel mill to support the war effort.

During the work breaks, he noticed food trucks showed up everyday selling sandwiches, snacks, coffees, and...donuts.

When the war ended in 1945, he had an idea. Image

The store closures created a death spiral that couldn't be stopped.

Less stores meant less franchisee revenue going to the marketing fund, making the system weaker as a whole.

With already tight margins, it was too much for existing store owners to handle, & closures continued.
A majority stake buyout in 2012 by Avenue Capital Group wasn't enough to save Quiznos, as they filed for bankruptcy in 2014 - reporting $875M in debt.

They ultimately settled multiple major lawsuits, one costing $200M and another $95M for franchisees who couldn't even open.
The franchise model is amazing when it works, but it can go the opposite direction too.

Quiznos lost focus on supporting franchisees as partners, & instead became an expensive food distributor that treated them as customers.

A quote from a former franchisee sums it up:

At it's peak in 2007, Quiznos had ~5,000 stores and generated nearly $2 billion in revenue.

Today they have less than 200 stores and can't stop the bleeding.

Here's how the toasted sub empire collapsed 👇 Image
In 1978, Jimmy Lambatos & Todd Disner started a fine-dining restaurant in Denver called Footers.

It was there where they had the idea for an Italian style deli, so Footers became a testing ground for Quiznos products.

The partners opened the first Quiznos in 1981. Image
The concept was an immediate hit.

Locals loved how toasting the sandwiches enhanced the flavors and melted the cheese.

Quiznos was a toasting pioneer, and is believed to be the first business to do it at scale.

They still call themselves the home of the toasted sub. Image

In the 1990's, a new college grad took a job in Alaska as a fisherman.

But this person had no interest in fishing, it was just the highest paying entry level job he found.

This person was saving money to start an empire.

Here's how Todd Graves founded Raising Cane's:
While going to college at Louisiana State University in the 1990's, Todd Graves enrolled in several business courses.

During one of them, the class was given an assignment to come up with an idea and write full business plan for the idea.

It became the perfect opportunity.
For years, Todd had a vision for a new restaurant concept that would do one meal really, really well.

This assignment became the opportunity to plan out the concept and get feedback from is professor.

The meal he landed on? Chicken fingers.

A typical Planet Fitness has 7,500 members, of which only ~10% show up on a given day.

In fact, the large majority of their 17,000,000 members worldwide rarely go to the gym.

The genius behind the Planet Fitness franchise model:
Founded in 1992, Planet Fitness has had a differentiated marketing approach from day 1.

Rather than trying to attract fitness enthusiasts, their core customer is the ~80% of the US population that doesn't belong to a gym.

This makes their total addressable market *massive*
To maximize conversion, Planet Fitness optimizes everything around lowering the 2 biggest obstacles for non-gym members:

1. Price
2. Intimidation

Here's how they execute on both:
