Tennis Master Pro Shops, Inc. owns and operates tennis retail stores, known as Tennis Master Pro Shops. Each retail location markets indoor tennis instruction and custom racket fitting. These two primary revenue streams are both high in profit margin and low in inventory requirements. Custom fitted rackets are made on site from components and are marketed under the “Tennis Master” brand name. Tennis instruction and training are conducted by in-store staff under the direction of a USTA professional at each store.
A Tennis Master Pro Shop measures 5,000 sq. ft. and contains two virtual reality tennis simulations, two computer swing analysis and racket fitting systems, as well as four additional practice courts. The product range also includes brand-name and private label tennis merchandise.
Tennis Master predicts that it will grow its 15 stores to a total number of 380 stores over three years. Ten stores will become company owned, and the remainder will become franchised. Qualified regional marketing professionals will be able to sell forty Master Franchise Licenses. This will allow them to grow at the high rate that this expansion plan targets.
Tennis Master franchises as well as company-owned shops will all be part of the corporate umbrella of Tennis Master Pro Shops, Inc. The combined revenues are expected to reach $6.8 million in year 1, $14.3 million by Year 2, and $23 millions in Year 3. Profits will be $1.8million in Year 1. They will rise to $5 million by Year 2 and then reach $9.3million by Year 3. In the same timeframe, profits will rise from 26.7% down to 40.3%. These highlights of the over-all plan are illustrated in the chart below:
