The vendor opportunity at TLGI
TLGI franchises 255 of its 256 US locations, with one company-owned, in the fitness segment. Franchised outlets grew 16.972% year over year, and in Item 19 the top quartile of franchised units reporting for fiscal 2025 averaged $1,043,656 in gross sales.
Who controls software purchasing
Michael Browning, Jr. is Chief Executive Officer of Unleashed Brands, TLGI's parent, and Joshua Wall, CFE, serves as Chief Operating Officer — a plausible entry point for technology decisions given the franchisor's role designating the Computer System and TLG Software. Samantha Musonda is President. TLGI operates under Leviathan Intermediate Holdco, alongside sibling brand WW Franchise.
Tech named in the FDD, and what is actually required
The franchisor requires every location to acquire and use only the computer systems it prescribes, and franchisees may not run unapproved software. That includes a designated POS System with monthly licensing folded into the Technology Fee, a required desktop computer and printer for back-of-house use, and the proprietary TLG Software — front desk management, point of sale, online enrollment, automated email marketing and a customer management system in one license. The start-up technology package also includes Microsoft Office suite. Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, TikTok, X (Twitter) and Yelp are named in the filing.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
Item 8 runs a designated-suppliers-only model, and the franchisor is the sole approved supplier of the Start-Up Equipment and Inventory Package. Franchisees must also buy retail merchandise, POS licenses and hardware, digital marketing services, certain signage, and insurance (where required) through the franchisor or its affiliate, though they may propose an alternate supplier for approval. A franchisee in good standing can renew for up to two additional 5-year successor terms, paying a renewal fee equal to half the then-current initial franchise fee plus the franchisor's legal and professional expenses.
