    <description>A Delicious History in the (Sandwich) Making

Smiling Moose Deli proudly raised its antlers in 2003, when we opened our first delicious deli in Colorado&#8217;s Vail Valley.

Our goal from the very beginning? To provide superior food and unprecedented customer service&#8230;with a big side of fun.

Today, five years later, our goal remains the same. With every new day, every new deli and every new dish, we continue to live our philosophy of &#8220;work hard, play hard." Our delis are a reflection of our fun and easygoing lifestyle and a place for our guests to feel at home and enjoy a memorable meal.

We are proud to say our simple philosophy is catching on. Smiling Moose continues to expand each year with explosive growth across Colorado. But, we don&#8217;t let our success go to our antlers. Our focus remains on continuing to offer fresh, signature dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

After all, what could possibly be better than a great selection of foods, made with the finest and freshest of ingredients, served by enthusiastic, happy employees? Read on for more reasons to grin at Smiling Moose Deli.</description>

    <description>Active Tire &amp; Auto Centre Inc. currently has locations in the Greater Metropolitan Toronto area from Oshawa to Barrie to Niagara Falls, and is a growing independent group of tire and automotive service centres. The Company's founder and President, Mr. Ralph Chiodo began in the automobile service business in 1959. Active Tire began franchising in 1983 - and by 1992 was operating 22 locations in the greater Toronto area.

In early 1993 the operations of Green + Ross were purchased. It had been in a similar business in the Toronto and surrounding area since 1930. In late 1995 the two companies were merged to become Active Green + Ross Tire &amp; Automotive Centre. All locations now trade under the name of:

Active Green + Ross Tire &amp; Auto Centre

Although no formal studies of the Metropolitan Toronto tire market have been completed, Active Green + Ross is recognized as one of the best known companies in terms of market awareness, with respect to the retail sale of tires. This is clearly attributable to the length of time that the Active Green + Ross name has been operating, as well as the good reputation and quality of our products and services.

In addition to selling tires, wheels and tire accessories; Active Green + Ross Tire &amp; Automotive Centre franchises also provide a line of name brand auto parts and motor oils. Special emphasis is placed on Regular and Preventative Vehicle Maintenance Areas such as brakes, suspension and front end repairs, wheel alignment, tire balancing and lube &amp; oil changes.

All locations are equipped and accredited test and repair facilities for the Province of Ontario Drive Clean emissions testing program.

Combining a thorough Preventative Maintenance Inspection process with these services, Active Green + Ross is poised to offer a full range of services to the existing computerized client base as well as new customers.
In addition, we have private brand tires named "Active" or "Green+" manufactured by one of the major tire company's Custom Brand Division.

The wide variety of available tire brands attracts customers who appreciate the convenience to compare many tire brands at one location and obtain professional advice and service.

An Active Green + Ross Tire &amp; Automotive Centre franchise offers individuals an opportunity to be in business for themselves while benefiting from the experience of the Company's management team.</description>

    <description>A proven, thriving, and recession-resilient franchise.

If you're considering a franchise opportunity, several factors play into your decision.

    * You want to partner with a known brand that lowers the barriers to success.
    * You want to be supported every step of the way, from startup financing to marketing.
    * You want a business model that gives you flexibility and freedom.

That's exactly what you get with Anytime Fitness. To experience a fitness franchise designed from your perspective, move through the information in this website, and start living your dream lifestyle today.

The fitness market continues to grow.

You have a wide range of choices in franchise opportunities. So, why is fitness the right market for you?

Consider the fact that nearly a million people join health clubs each year, pushing membership to 41.3 million people nationwide*. This number is likely to grow as more people commit to an active lifestyle, often spurred by the increasing number of corporate wellness programs and health insurance incentives.

Where will the vast majority of this growth continue to happen? In the 24-hour, co-ed model invented and pioneered by Anytime Fitness founders Jeff Klinger and Chuck Runyon.

Innovators of the 24 hour fitness franchise.

The founders of Anytime Fitness, Jeff Klinger and Chuck Runyon, recognized early on that the fitness industry was ripe for innovation. Backed by more than 30 years of industry and entrepreneurial experience, they developed a trend-setting business model that allows people to work in the enjoyable and fast-growing fitness industry as an independent business owner.

The founders understood that fitness consumers were looking for convenience and affordability. Yet, they were not willing to accept substandard equipment or lackluster environments. This knowledge led to the development of a 24 hour fitness franchise. At Anytime Fitness, members can exercise even when the club is not staffed. Plus, Anytime Fitness offers the exclusive benefit of Anywhere Club Access, which allows members to use all Anytime Fitness centers worldwide with one standard membership. Many gyms also offer 24 hour tanning and certified personal training as conveniences for their members.

Where Anytime Fitness really stands out from the crowd is in their use of proprietary access software, security, and surveillance technology. The integration of these systems allows owners to operate safe and secure clubs with greatly reduced staffing needs. The exclusive Anytime Fitness access system allows a club to be open on a 24 hour basis. Our system, which includes remote monitoring of a closed circuit television system and personal safety devices, allows members to feel safe and secure, even when a club is not staffed. In addition, our member check-in software is fully integrated with the onsite security systems.
Be your own boss.

And still have the freedom and flexibility to do what's important to you!

The perfect blending of many factors makes Anytime Fitness unique. We offer a business and product that people need and enjoy, in an industry that continues to grow every year. The convenience and affordability of our product, for both franchise owners and members, is just one of the many features allowing our concept to thrive.

With Anytime Fitness, you can be your own boss, without having to go it alone. As a franchisee, you will use exclusive technology to operate your club, including:

    * Access and security systems, integrated with billing and payment processing.
    * Member check-in and data management tools, integrated with marketing features.
    * Tanning access systems, integrated with Point of Sale functionality.
    * Vending solutions, cashless design allows members to charge purchases to their member account, creating revenue without staff!
    * Worldwide membership reciprocity program, known as Anywhere Club Access.

With Anytime Fitness, you can own a health club and still have a flexible schedule. Our exclusive systems integration allows you to run a 24 hour operation without additional staff! This gives you an enormous competitive advantage, as payroll is the majority expense incurred by traditional fitness clubs. As an Anytime Fitness club owner, you can devote time to the other important areas of your life, while still allowing members full access to your facility.

Anytime Fitness offers the convenience people are seeking in a fitness center. Ninety percent of our members live within 1-3 miles of their club. Plus, our Anywhere Club Access clearly adds to the convenience we offer our members, which is the top reason consumers choose one club over another.

Anytime Fitness offers an affordable fitness option for everyone. In contrast to the low price tag, Anytime Fitness clubs are scrupulously clean and bright, with expertly designed workout areas. Inside each gym, members will find cutting-edge equipment that is safe and easy-to-use.

Round-the-clock tanning*, in a safe and secure environment, is another prominent feature of our business model. For a nominal add-on fee, members use their access card to activate a tanning session. Safety features built-into our software protect members from lengthy tanning sessions and multiple sessions per day. *Certain states prohibit 24 hour tanning.

An exceptional member experience is at the core of our business model. Anytime Fitness club owners are passionate about providing a high-quality member experience. We offer a welcoming and clean environment to everyone, regardless of his or her fitness level or ability. Our members can rely on a supportive atmosphere that encourages them to strive for and meet their health and fitness goals.

1000+ clubs open worldwide.

Since our founding in 2002, Anytime Fitness has maintained robust growth rates. As the world's largest, and fastest growing, 24 hour, co-ed fitness franchise, we continue to break records and receive industry accolades.

How did we catapult to the front of our class? For Anytime Fitness, it's about the basics. First, we offer a proven business model to passionate entrepreneurs. Then, we offer unwavering franchisee support during all phases of club development and ongoing operations. Plus, we continually evaluate the tools and information we provide our franchisees. When a new idea or better option comes along, we implement those tools on a franchise-wide basis.

The market for Anytime Fitness continues to expand, for both prospective franchisees and potential club members. Currently, we have more than 2,100 territories sold and a membership base of 520,000 and growing! With more than 55% of existing franchisees owning more than one club, the growth of the franchise will be enhanced by those who genuinely know the Anytime Fitness business model and its brand. In addition, we are actively selling franchise locations in Canada and Australia. Further global expansion is underway. Learn more on the International Opportunities page.

The typical Anytime Fitness franchisee has a passion for fitness and an entrepreneurial spirit. Ranked as one of the top low cost franchise options, club owners tend to experience a return on their investment at a faster pace than other businesses.

Operate one club or multiple clubs.

There is a great amount of flexibility in the Anytime Fitness franchise opportunity. From single club and multi-club franchisees, to international master franchisees, our unique opportunity includes varying levels of ownership and investment. Plus, we offer a great conversion model for existing club owners that wish to become a part of our industry-leading brand.

Our neighborhood-style fitness clubs are ideally placed in strip centers near big box retailers and national grocery chains. The increased consumer traffic Anytime Fitness generates in a center, even during off-peak hours, makes us a sought after real estate tenant.

Anytime Fitness clubs vary in size, floor plan, and layout depending on the shape of the space. Our standard club ranges from 2,500 to 5,000 square feet, with an average club size of 4,000 square feet. Our Anytime Fitness Express concept ranges in size from 1,200 to 2,500 square feet.</description>
