The vendor opportunity at KickHouse
KickHouse is a fitness franchise with 30 total units, 29 of which are franchised and one company-owned. The brand operates under the ownership of Camac Partners, LLC, a private equity firm. For software vendors, the addressable market is small but tightly controlled: all 30 locations are run by single-unit operators, meaning there is no multi-unit owner influence on purchasing. The top states by unit count are California (7), Colorado (4), Maryland (4), Pennsylvania (3), and Texas (3). Average unit volume is not disclosed in the 2022 FDD. The royalty rate is 6.0%, and the initial franchise term is 10 years.
Who controls software purchasing
Purchasing authority at KickHouse sits at the brand HQ level. The 2022 FDD lists Jessica Yarmey as the owner with a 10% stake. With no multi-unit franchisees in the system, all 30 mapped operators are single-unit owners, which typically means they have limited influence over technology decisions. The private equity backing from Camac Partners, LLC further centralizes strategic decisions, including software procurement. Vendors should direct their outreach to the HQ team rather than individual franchisees.
Mandated and current tech stack
KickHouse mandates Wellness Living as its operating platform. This is the only named technology vendor in the 2022 FDD. No other mandated or recommended systems—such as POS, payroll, or scheduling tools—are disclosed. For software vendors selling complementary or replacement solutions, Wellness Living is the incumbent system to understand and potentially integrate with or displace.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
The 2022 FDD does not include an Item 8 extract, so the brand’s procurement model—whether designated supplier, approved supplier, or open—is not publicly known. The initial franchise agreement runs for 10 years. Franchisees in good standing can renew for one additional 10-year term, or the length of the then-current lease term if shorter, upon payment of the renewal fee in effect at that time. These long contract cycles suggest that major software evaluation windows may be infrequent and tied to HQ-driven initiatives or ownership-level strategy shifts.
How to read the KickHouse FDD
The 2022 Franchise Disclosure Document provides the legal and operational baseline for vendor due diligence. Key sections for software sales teams include Item 1 (ownership and executives), Item 11 (mandated systems), and Item 17 (renewal and term conditions). The document confirms the centralized decision-making structure and the Wellness Living mandate. For a ranked target list of franchise brands aligned with your software category, FranCloud can help you prioritize outreach.
