9Round Franchising, LLC (“9Round”), an international kickboxing franchise based in Greenville, was recently named by Club Industry as one of the top 100 health clubs of 2018. Ranking at number 54 on the list this year, 9Round has seen tremendous growth, moving up from number 93 on the same list just one year ago.

“As 2018 marks 10 years since 9Round’s doors first opened, we are proud to be continuously recognized for our success thus far,” said Shannon Hudson, CEO and co-founder of 9Round Franchising. “At the close of 2016, 9Round had just 449 franchise locations open, and we have grown to date to have more than 720 locations and counting across 42 states and 13 countries with no intentions of slowing down any time soon.”

The primary determining factor that placed 9Round on the list this year was 2017 gross revenue. From 2016 to 2017, 9Round experienced a 46.5 percent revenue increase to $16.16 million, making it one of the top leaders in franchising success named to the Club Industry list.
