Multi-Unit Investors Operate Brand’s Milestone Site in Naples, Fla.
Boosted by the veteran sales team of Franchise FastLane, Gameday Men’s Health celebrates the opening of its 100th location, a Naples, Fla., clinic owned by multi-unit investors. The rapidly growing Gameday Men’s Health franchise offers services ranging from testosterone replacement therapy and erectile dysfunction treatment to weight loss and vitamin therapy programs. Patient safety is top priority for each Gameday clinic, which conducts extensive laboratory testing and a thorough medical evaluation to verify testosterone deficiency before approving any client’s treatment for that condition.
Testosterone deficiency is a widespread health challenge among American men, according to statistics from the National Institutes of Health. Research indicates the condition affects 20% to 50% of American men, the NIH states on its website. Although testosterone deficiency can occur in men at any age, 7% of men drop below normal levels after they turn 50 years old, with the percentage increasing as they age, the federal health agency says. The Cleveland Clinic documents an array of symptoms related to low testosterone, including reduced sex drive, erectile dysfunction, shrinking testicles, hot flashes, low or zero sperm count, depressed mood, difficulties with concentration and memory, increased body fat, enlarged male breast tissue, and decreases in muscle strength, muscle mass and endurance.
Gameday Men’s Health Franchise Accomplishments
Gameday treatments can alleviate those health and performance challenges while increasing men’s confidence with carefully developed and implemented treatments, says Gameday Men’s Health founder and CEO Evan Miller (above). He hailed his company’s 100-unit milestone, saying, “It’s a significant achievement for our system because it validates the vision we’ve created for helping every man feel his absolute best.” Miller added that the Gameday franchise is ideally primed for “future growth and expansion across the U.S.”
The Gameday Men’s Health franchise has a business model built around a membership plan that customizes the client’s wellness program based on individual needs and goals. Franchisees appreciate the brand’s recurring revenue, high client retention rate, customer loyalty, and predictable earnings. Gameday clinics are quick to open and recession-resistant; they require only a small brick-and-mortar footprint.
About Gameday Clinics
Each of Gameday’s turnkey medical clinics features interior design that looks nothing at all like a typical doctor’s office. Instead, the Gameday Men’s Health treatment rooms are furnished with sports memorabilia, overstuffed couches and recliners, and flat-screen televisions tuned to ESPN. Patients enjoy complimentary drinks and snacks while they await complimentary testosterone testing and prostate specific antigen (PSA) screening results. Those test results arrive within as few as 15 minutes, thanks to every franchise unit’s on-site laboratory.
The franchise units’ ambiance, convenience and customer service comprise a winning combination for clients and for franchisees, says Don Tarinelli, executive vice president of Franchise FastLane, a leading franchise sales organization. “Gameday Men’s Health has achieved remarkable growth over the past 13 months, and Gameday has done an exceptional job in delivering what they’ve promised to new franchisees,” Tarinelli says.
Details of the Milestone Gameday Unit
Those franchisees include the owners of the 100th location. Administrators Jay Valentine, Tom Humphries, and A.J. and Richard Nassar, along with medical director Dr. Stephen Friedman are the multi-unit owners of that clinic. The five partners plan on developing a total of 14 Gameday Men’s Health franchises: two in the Naples area, two in Bonita Springs, eight additional units in southwest Florida, and two in Rochester, N.Y.
Valentine, who spent 30-plus years in health care sales, praised Franchise FastLane and Gameday for giving his ownership group with in-depth financial data and performance expectations to inform their investment decision. “We knew it was a really good opportunity,” he said. “Our partners were impressed with the low number of employees needed as well as the way the business partnership is set up for success. When we do well, they do well.”
