BALTIMORE, MD – Wellbridge, a Denver-based company that operates a family of 21 premium athletic and tennis clubs across the country, announced the purchase of the Maryland Athletic Club (MAC) brand. This follows Wellbridge’s acquisition of the MAC Harbor East location on July 1, 2015.
“Thanks to the efforts of people like Tim Rhode, who is a co-founder of the MAC, the brand has an impressive reputation and great name recognition,” said Wellbridge President and CEO Ed Williams. “Keeping the name is one way to demonstrate how much we want to be a part of the community. We look forward to building on the positive energy Maryland Athletic Club has already established.”
In 2000, Wellbridge acquired the Bel Air Athletic Club in Bel Air, MD, and had been looking for additional opportunities to expand into the Baltimore area.
“When you look at the Harbor East neighborhood and other parts of the city, there’s so much opportunity for growth,” Williams added. “We feel fortunate to be a part of everything that’s going on.”
The MAC Harbor East opened in September 2007 and Wellbridge has had the distinct pleasure of serving its members since July 2015 with the same high-quality programs, membership experiences and customer service that were synonymous with Maryland Athletic Club.
