The questions we hear most.
Answers below are pulled from the 2026 Padel//Swt Franchise Disclosure Document and Fitura Brands materials. If your question isn't here, ask it directly in the inquiry form.
Investment & fees
Plan for a single Padel//Swt unit between $954,600 and $2,762,000. If you're signing up for a three-unit development, the range is $1,034,600 to $2,842,000. That covers everything from the franchise fee and real estate to courts, build-out, equipment, inventory, signage, insurance, and working capital. Item 7 of the 2026 FDD breaks it all down in plain detail. These figures relate to the Padel//Swt franchise only; a Padel//Swt franchise is currently awarded as part of a combined development that also includes Core Precinct and contrastheory franchise rights, and each concept is governed by its own Franchise Disclosure Document and franchise agreement.
The franchise fee is $55,000 for your first unit. For multi-unit developers, we scale it down: $55,000 for the first, $45,000 for the second, and $35,000 for each additional unit. Multi-unit agreements start at three units. Initial fees are non-refundable once paid, so we make sure candidates are ready before moving forward.
We don't offer direct financing or guarantee any loans or leases. You'll bring your own capital and arrange any third-party financing that fits your situation. We're happy to talk through the capital structure and point you toward resources, but the funding is your responsibility.
We don't publish or authorize financial projections, past performance claims, or 'you'll make this much' promises. If anyone gives you earnings information outside the FDD, that didn't come from us - please let us know, and feel free to report it to the FTC or your state regulator.
Territory & development
A Padel//Swt franchise is currently awarded as part of a combined development that also includes Core Precinct and contrastheory franchise rights. Each concept is governed by its own Franchise Disclosure Document and franchise agreement. The three concepts may be developed in approved configurations, including qualifying co-location opportunities, subject to site approval and the applicable franchise agreements.
Single-unit franchisees get a protected territory based on zip codes or another geographic definition, but it isn't exclusive. That means you may still compete with other Padel//Swt locations, company-owned outlets, or other channels. Multi-unit developers receive an exclusive development territory for as long as the development agreement is in place and you're in good standing.
Absolutely. Multi-unit development agreements start at a minimum of three units and give you a development schedule across an exclusive territory. Fees drop on the second and third units. Just stick to the schedule - if it slips, your exclusivity may be reduced or removed.
As of March 2026, we're targeting Massachusetts, Colorado, Texas, and Arizona for projected openings. Availability depends on market analysis, your qualifications, and the development commitment you're ready to make.
Any relocation needs our prior written approval. If you're considering a new site, run it by us first and make sure it meets our current site-selection guidelines before you sign a lease or purchase anything.
Training & support
Your initial training runs 7–9 business days and blends 48 hours of classroom instruction with 36 hours of on-the-job training. You'll cover owner onboarding, pre-sales, and opening support. We include training for up to two people; additional trainees are $3,000 each plus their travel, lodging, and meals.
Training happens online or in person at Fitura Brands headquarters in Park City, Utah. We ask that it be completed at least 15 days before your projected opening, and we'll let you know which members of your team need to attend.
Long after you open, you'll have phone and video support during business hours, periodic workshops and seminars, an annual franchisee conference, and a confidential Operations Manual (about 100 pages in our learning management system). Plus marketing materials and optional on-site visits if you need extra hands-on help.
Not at all. We're looking for strong operators - people with capital, business judgment, and a feel for their market. Fitura handles the sport, programming, training, technology, and marketing systems so you can focus on running a great business.
Operations & opening
Most franchisees open 12 to 14 months after signing the Franchise Agreement, though that can move depending on real estate, financing, permits, and build-out. Once you sign the lease, you'll typically need to open within 12 months unless we agree to an extension in writing.
A typical Padel//Swt facility is 20,000 to 30,000 square feet, but the exact size depends on the site, market analysis, and our approval. We'll work with you to make sure the layout fits the concept and the community.
We use a curated vendor list to keep quality and operations consistent. That includes ABC Glofox for POS and tech, QuickBooks for accounting, LARC Architecture for design, SABRE Commercial for real estate, Padel Galis for courts, Soundtrack Your Brand for music, Delightree for onboarding and SOPs, Google Workspace, and Canva. All required equipment, inventory, and supplies need to come from approved suppliers.
You'll carry standard coverage: general liability ($1M per occurrence / $2M aggregate), liquor liability if you serve alcohol ($1M / $2M), umbrella coverage ($1M minimum), auto liability ($1M), workers' compensation ($1M), employment practices liability ($1M), property coverage, and cyber liability ($1M). The Franchise Agreement may require additional coverages as well.
The grand opening fee is $20,000, paid at signing, and covers grand opening digital advertising and printed materials. Local area activation and the grand opening event are estimated separately at $7,000 to $10,000, and grand opening support is $5,000. We'll help you build pre-sale memberships and plan the launch. Item 7 of the 2026 FDD lists each of these line items.
Agreement & terms
The initial term is 10 years.
Yes. If you meet the renewal conditions, you can add two successive 5-year terms. Renewal means signing the then-current Franchise Agreement, paying a successor fee equal to 50% of the initial franchise fee, and staying current on all your obligations.
Yes, with our prior written approval. The buyer will need to qualify, pay a transfer fee equal to 50% of the then-current franchise fee, and sign the current Franchise Agreement. Transfers to a spouse, parent, child, sibling, or a corporation you majority-own don't require a transfer fee.
If the agreement ends or isn't renewed, you'll de-identify the business, pay any outstanding amounts, return the Operations Manual and confidential materials, and honor the post-term non-compete. For two years, you won't operate a competing business within 25 miles of your Padel//Swt facility or any other Padel//Swt outlet.
Most disputes are resolved through arbitration in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Franchise Agreement is governed by Utah law, with state-specific addenda where applicable.
