FRANCHISOR TESTIMONIALS
During my time with Snap Fitness, I had the opportunity to work with Daniel Kraft and National
Site Selection Service as he supported our franchisees through one of the most important—and
often most intimidating—parts of opening a gym: finding the right location.
What stood out most about Daniel was the confidence he brought to the process. When a
franchisee was working with Daniel, I knew the market would be thoroughly explored and that
no viable option would be overlooked. He has an exceptional understanding of what makes a
fitness location work, from market and site selection through landlord conversations, lease
considerations, and negotiation.
For a new franchisee, commercial real estate can be unfamiliar territory with enormous long-
term consequences. Daniel has a way of bringing clarity and expertise to that process. He
knows what questions to ask, what opportunities to pursue, what potential problems to identify,
and when to push for better terms.
Daniel is a true expert in site selection, and I always had confidence putting a Snap Fitness
franchisee in his hands. I would highly recommend him to any franchisor or franchisee
looking for a knowledgeable and thorough partner in the real estate process.

"Working with National Site Selection Service, Inc. is like having your own franchise real estate department only without the overhead. They identify only those locations that meet the franchisor’s criteria, negotiate only terms that meet the franchisor’s criteria, and keep everything on track by acting as liaison between the landlord, franchisee, and franchisor. This reduces the site selection time to probably half of what it would be otherwise.
Many franchisors lose control over the site selection process because they give the new franchisee a list of site criteria and just send them out the door. This leaves a good portion of the process up to fate. Franchisees can waste a lot of valuable time and money on less than ideal locations. The longer it takes a new franchisee to get open, the less cash they have available. The best available location at favorable terms provides the franchisee with higher sales and net profit. It is no secret among franchisors that more profitable franchisees results in more favorable franchisee reviews when a prospect calls. This translates directly into more new franchise sales."
