POSTED 21 Dec 2006 . BY Helen Patenall
Énergie Fitness Clubs has expanded its ladies-only brand to the Republic of Ireland, marking its first overseas master franchise agreement.

Three investors based in Ireland have acquired the rights to sell énergie Fitness For Women franchises throughout the country, with the first club set to open in Dublin in January.

Jan Spaticchia, énergie’s CEO, said: “These investors will work closely with the énergie central support team in the UK to develop a strong and successful brand presence in Ireland. Having built a strong infrastructure and trusted brand at home, we are now ready to branch out overseas.”

“The sale of master franchise agreements overseas will remain a focus, while at home we will continue to concentrate on the new franchise and club opening pipeline together with conversion of independent sites to the énergie brand.” Details: www.energiefitnessclubs.com
