Singh currently operates more than 50 Popeyes, Burger King and Arby&#8217;s restaurants across New York, Connecticut and Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n<p>During his franchise career, he has earned numerous industry honors, including Popeyes Franchisee of the Year in 2020, the Popeyes Gold Plate Award in 2024 and the Arby&#8217;s Inspiring Smiles Award in 2020. He has also completed more than 30 ground-up development projects, bringing extensive expertise in site selection, construction management and real estate execution to his first venture in the fitness industry.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As someone who has spent years building and growing franchise businesses in QSR, I was looking to diversify with my next investment,&#8221; said Singh. &#8220;Retro Fitness immediately stood out because of its high-value, low-price model, experienced management team and comprehensive support for franchisees. It combines a business I&#8217;m excited about with a model I believe in, and I&#8217;m looking forward to introducing the brand to more communities across New York.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The first location will be on Long Island, with additional locations to follow, further strengthening the brand&#8217;s presence in the New York market. The brand remains focused on partnering with sophisticated franchisees who bring demonstrated experience in franchising and a commitment to delivering exceptional value and premium membership experiences.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Laddi&#8217;s investment reflects the confidence sophisticated franchisees have in the Retro Fitness brand,&#8221; said Andrew Alfano, CEO of Retro Fitness. &#8220;Coming from hospitality myself, I understand why an experienced QSR operator would see the opportunity to diversify into high-value, low-price fitness. Laddi has built an exceptional track record across multiple franchise brands, and we&#8217;re thrilled to partner with him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Retro Fitness combines a differentiated high-value, low-price fitness model with one of the industry&#8217;s most comprehensive franchise support platforms. Through its No Sweat Franchise Program, whether an owner\/operator or investor group, Retro Fitness provides end-to-end support, from site selection and construction to marketing, accounting and operational resources, delivering a true turnkey solution for new franchisees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>NEW YORK, N.Y.<\/strong> &#8211; Retro Fitness, a leader in the high-value, low-price fitness sector, has signed a multi-unit development agreement with award-winning multi-brand franchisee Laddi Singh, who plans to open his first Retro Fitness club this year.
