Iconic Golf Simulator Company Now Franchising Grants Local Entrepreneur Opportunity to Develop 40 New Centers
NEW JERSEY, N.J., July 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- TruGolf Links Franchising, LLC ("TruGolf"), wholly owned by TruGolf Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: TRUG), a leading provider of golf simulator software and hardware, announced today the signing of its first regional development deal. Signed with local Central New Jersey entrepreneur Nicholas "Nick" Reimondo, the deal spans from Bucks County, Pennsylvania, into Central and Northern New Jersey. The agreement includes the rights to open 40 locations, with plans to hit the markets aggressively and create close ties with communities across the region.
"I attended the International Franchise Expo in New York searching for a business opportunity that aligns with both my passion and business acumen," said Reimondo, who is also an avid golfer. "When I found TruGolf Links, I knew I had found the perfect fit. The model is clear, and the potential is immense. I'm looking forward to opening multiple locations and developing a robust network of franchises across New Jersey. This is a fantastic opportunity to build something special and become a key player in the industry."
Reimondo came to TruGolf Links with 17 years of hospitality experience working with Hyatt, Starwood Hotels and Deloitte consulting. In 2020, he challenged his entrepreneurial appetite and began working in his own Amazon Delivery Service Partner business, which allowed him to build capital for a larger investment. Now, with his substantial investment in TruGolf, Reimondo aims to bring the concept to the East Coast, fueling the indoor golf simulator scene with the most modernized technology.
"We could not be more excited to have Nick as our first developer, franchisee and member of the President's Circle," said Dr. Ben Litalien, Chief Development Officer, "He is an amazing businessman whose passion for golf now gives him the opportunity to develop a significant network of TruGolf Links Centers." The first ten Regional Developers who join TruGolf Links will make up the President's Circle, the company's franchise advisory council, along with receiving benefits such as reduced territory fees, enhanced sales and support compensation, and significantly discounted access to the world class TruGolf simulator bays.
"We started TruGolf Links because of our passion for golf any time of the year," said Chris Jones, founder and CEO of TruGolf, Inc. "We need to ensure both owner-operators and investors are supported, and we've developed an innovative approach to achieve this by offering a variety of growth paths. We are thrilled to officially hit the ground running with our first-ever franchisee to deliver our tech-forward vision to golfers everywhere."
