We are proud to announce that TRIB3 is coming to Southampton – this will be one of our final corporately-owned stores in the UK as we realise the majority of our planned global growth through franchising. As TRIB3 grows internationally, 90% of our stores will be franchised with 10% corporately owned in strategic markets.

The new Southampton store, complete with a 42-spot studio, will be located at Southampton’s Cultural Quarter on the ground floor of a +500 bedroom student accommodation development in close proximity to shops, restaurants and bars. The location is due to open in June 2021.

We currently operate five corporately owned locations with four more set to open imminently in Edinburgh, Manchester and Barcelona, plus the new store in Southampton. Alongside this, over 20 more franchised stores are due to open in 2021. Our scalable and unique ‘volume boutique’ model makes it a really viable option for people looking to start their own business and join the positive and booming boutique fitness sector.

TRIB3 CEO Kevin Yates says: “It’s been quite the exciting journey the last few years, from opening our first corporate store in Sheffield to realising significant growth through franchising, across the globe. We recently announced our seventh international territory as the Republic of Ireland under an eight site franchise deal. The corporately-owned stores in our network are real centres of excellence for product innovation and will always be close to my heart, but it brings me great excitement to keep welcoming new franchise partners to our family and helping them realise their own ambitions to own their own business. A big focus of our growth this year is on the UK market so I am really looking forward to bringing the TRIB3 experience to Southampton in the summer.”
