Canada’s most aggressive fitness franchise has its eye on the target – the 133 Target stores that will soon be closing their doors.
After their liquidation sales are over three or four months from now, most of the 133 Target locations will be up for grabs and GoodLife Fitness – at least partly on the strength of their popular Fit4Less by GoodLife clubs is ready to start bulking up. The chain, which has been very forthright about their plans to become the largest corporately owned fitness club chain in the world is planning to expand to more than 400 locations by the end of the year, with an ultimate goal of reaching 1,000 locations across Canada.
“We want to continue growing until every Canadian is able to benefit from using one of our clubs,” said David ‘Patch’ Patchell-Evans, GoodLife Fitness Founder & CEO. “The former Target locations provide spacious and convenient locations that would be an excellent space for people to achieve their fitness goals. “
They’re even throwing a bone to the 17,600 Target employees who will be out of a job when the American chain closes its doors in Canada – inviting them to apply at http://jobs.goodlifefitness.com and announcing that they will prioritize meetings with former Target employees who are interested in joining the GoodLife team.
The fitness company claims that their phenomenal capacity for growth and innovation across Canada, demonstrates the value and importance Canadians place on living active and healthy lives. That’s a certainly a viewpoint shared by a lot of IhR readers!
