The vendor opportunity at LAUNCH FRANCHISING

LAUNCH FRANCHISING is a fitness brand headquartered in Rhode Island with a growing footprint of 29 total units, 28 of which are franchised. The system's average unit volume (AUV) sits at $2,388,490, and the brand charges a 6.0% royalty on a 10-year initial term. Year-over-year unit growth is 16.7%, signaling an expanding addressable market for software vendors. The brand appears independently owned, with no parent company on file.

Who controls software purchasing

Purchasing authority is centralized at the franchisor level. The 2026 FDD lists five key executives in Item 1. For a software vendor, the most relevant contacts are likely Yvette Martinez, the Chief Operating Officer, and Christina Lafontaine, the Vice President of Finance. Craig Erlich, the Chief Executive Officer, and Nicholette Gill, the Vice President of Sales and Marketing, may also influence technology decisions that impact operations or member experience. No multi-unit operators were mapped in our corpus, reinforcing that HQ is the primary buying center.

Mandated and current tech stack

The technology landscape at LAUNCH FRANCHISING is clearly defined by a single mandate: Qvinci. This is the only system named as mandatory in the FDD data provided. No other point-of-sale, CRM, or operational platforms are disclosed as required or recommended. For vendors selling complementary or competing software, this represents a known integration point or a potential displacement target, though any pitch must account for the existing mandate.

Procurement, renewals, and timing

The procurement model is not detailed in the available FDD extracts. Item 8, which typically outlines designated suppliers, approved suppliers, or open procurement, provided no signal in our corpus. This means a vendor's first conversation should include discovery around how the franchisor currently evaluates and approves new technology.

Contract renewal timing, however, is explicit. Item 17 states that franchisees must provide written notice of their intent to renew no less than 180 days and no more than 270 days before their 10-year agreement expires. They must also execute the then-current franchise agreement, which may contain materially different terms, including new technology requirements. This renewal window is the most predictable trigger for a franchisee to adopt new systems mandated by the franchisor.
