The vendor opportunity at TLGI

TLGI operates in the fitness segment with a footprint of 256 total units, 255 of which are franchised. The brand reported an average unit volume (AUV) of $1,043,656 in its 2026 FDD. Year-over-year unit growth stands at 16.97%, signaling an expanding network of potential software buyers. For a SaaS vendor, the addressable market is the 255 franchised locations, as the single company-owned unit is negligible in scale. The absence of a parent company suggests an independent ownership structure, which can mean more direct access to decision-makers without layered corporate procurement.

Who controls software purchasing

Software purchasing authority is concentrated at the headquarters level. The FDD lists five key executives: Samantha Musonda (President), Michael Browning, Jr. (Chief Executive Officer), Stephen Polozola (Chief Legal Officer), Joshua Wall, CFE (Chief Operating Officer), and Mark McAndrew (General Counsel). No dedicated technology leadership, such as a CIO or CTO, is named. For a vendor, the likely buying center includes the COO for operational tools and the CEO for strategic platforms. Legal and compliance review will involve the Chief Legal Officer or General Counsel, particularly for contracts that touch franchisee data or terms.

Mandated and current tech stack

The 2026 FDD does not capture any mandated or recommended technology systems. This means there is no publicly disclosed point-of-sale, scheduling, CRM, or ERP system that franchisees are required to use. For a software vendor, this represents either a greenfield opportunity or a fragmented, multi-vendor environment where franchisees may choose their own tools. Without a mandate, a top-down sale to HQ for an endorsed or preferred vendor program could be a viable strategy, but you will need to prove value to both the franchisor and the franchisee network.

Procurement, renewals, and timing

Procurement signals from Item 8 are not available in the extracted data, so the formal supplier qualification process remains unknown. The franchise agreement has an initial term of 10 years. Renewal conditions, detailed in Item 17, allow franchisees in good standing to renew for two additional consecutive five-year terms. A critical trigger for software vendors is the renewal requirement that franchisees “renovate and modernize the Franchised Business premises to conform to our then-current image.” This modernization clause can create natural windows for technology upgrades and new system implementations. The renewal fee is 50% of the then-current initial franchise fee plus legal and professional expense reimbursement.

How to read the TLGI FDD

The TLGI Franchise Disclosure Document was filed with state franchise regulators in 2026. For software vendors, the most relevant sections are Item 11 (Franchisor’s Assistance, Advertising, Computer Systems, and Training) to identify any mandated tech, and Item 8 (Restrictions on Sources of Products and Services) to understand procurement rules. Item 1 lists the executives who control purchasing. The full FDD is embedded below for your review.
