Exploratory Call

To prepare for the Exploratory Call, we ask that you review & fill out our Application worksheet prior to your call.   A member of our development team will be in touch to guide you through the franchisee qualification process.

We generally recommend all candidates have a minimum net worth of $500,000. In addition, candidates must have access to $200,000 in liquid funds or financing ($100,000 if purchasing an existing store that is for sale).

Select A Site

You will work with a local real estate broker to help you find the ideal location. Once you find a potential site, you will work hand-in-hand with our team to develop layouts for your building, review architectural plans, and ensure your construction schedule stays on time.

This process is typically the most time-consuming. It is important to hire a qualified local real estate broker, architect, and contractor to ensure you can get your Pump It Up open as soon as possible. The entire process can take up to 12 months.

Complete our Store Opening Process

We have created an extensive 170-item checklist to ensure you will not miss a beat when it comes to ensuring your store is ready to open on time and fully operational. In addition, you will have weekly calls with a pre-opening specialist who will guide you throughout the process.

We have everything you need to know on how to open a store effectively and efficiently! The entire Store Opening Process can take anywhere between 3 and 5 months.
