I love the smell of sand in the morning.

No feeling is better than waking up in the morning rejuvenated and ready go, which is exactly how you awoke the day after the webinar! Time for another exciting day in the life of a Thunder Beach franchisee, you muse as you get out of bed. While eating breakfast, you have a quick discussion with your wife about taking the next steps in the franchising process. You both agree to meet with a loan officer and discuss your options, but also decide to go ahead and start scouting potential locations for your franchise. You can hardly wait! However, your day job beckons so you reluctantly head to the office and settle in for the time being. During your lunch hour, doubts start creeping into your mind. I’ve never owned a business before, how will I pull this off? Is this really a good idea? Am I crazy to leave my current job? The doubts begin to pile up and you start to have a panic attack until, suddenly, you

It’s not the size that matters. It’s how you use it.

Hey, Thunder Beachers and Beachettes!

Does your parking lot ever look like this? If so, we have a solution!

Today, we’re starting a new series talking about the process we go through for selection Thunder Beach locations and building our complexes. That way, whether you’re interested in being a Thunder Beach location, someone who will one day play on our courts, or just a curious soul, you know firsthand what goes into building these places that are as majestic as the Taj Mahal or The Pyramids (Okay, they might no be that grand, but they’re still pretty nice).

An Evening With Thunder Beach

The possibility of becoming a Thunder Beach franchisee has consumed your every waking thought since you first stumbled across their website on a dreary, Monday morning. Caught up reminiscing about your youth and the fun you had, fate came knocking at your door in the form of a sand sports franchise opportunity. Now, it is all you can think about. Your mind is full of questions. At night, you dream of owning a franchise and the laughing, enthusiastic players who will gather at your complex. Your wife is a savvy businesswoman who is willing to explore possibilities, but not without examining every detail. Despite reading the Thunder Beach website over many times, you know that there is more to learn.

Qualification rounds finished yesterday with the main event beginning today. So, if you’re in the area, go watch amazing athletes play an amazing sport! Here’s a link to the schedule.

A Conversation to Remember

It is now Friday. Several days have passed since you discovered Thunder Beach USA and had the idea to become a franchisee. You consulted friends who were very supportive, one of your best friends even offered to join you in your venture, and now there is only one more person that you need to talk to. You’ve known her for 28 years, she is the person you trust the most, and she holds the greatest influence in your final decision.  She is your wife, and she is returning from a business trip today.

Waking up.

Part 2:

Does anyone like seeing this in the morning?

Buzz. Buzz. Buzz.

There it goes again, that all too familiar sound of your alarm going off. It’s 6 in the morning and time for you to begin your day. Just as you are about to hit the snooze button, you remember the events of the day before. You had the idea to become a Thunder Beach franchisee! You feel a revitalizing energy come over you as you head for a hot shower. 

All beginnings come from some beginning’s end.

Hey Thunder Beachers and Thunder Beachettes! Today we’re starting a new blog series where we take you through the life of a potential franchisee by telling you the story from their perspective. So, follow this series to find out why people would want to get away from the everyday grind to come work at the beach. (Hint: It’s because working at the beach basically entails building giant sand castles and chasing sand crabs everywhere. If that sounds strenuous to you, we’ll understand.) 

“And that’s why, you never chase a skunk” — George Bluth

Hey, everyone! Hope you’re all looking forward to a nice July 4th weekend! Before we take some time off and enjoy the holiday, we wanted to bring you another Stories with Tim edition. Without further ado:

There’s a storm brewing…

Do you see how awful our life was for a week?!

And it’s name is Thunder Beach!

Hey everybody! We’re back from Vegas and Bowl Expo after a very, very encouraging trip! Next time someone tells you how awful their job is, tell them we had to stay at The Flamingo on the Vegas Strip for a week. Pretty awful if you ask us…

Anyways, man, was it fun to be there! Here’s a few quick highlights of the trip for us:
