D-BAT

The D-BAT franchise was founded in 1998 by Cade and Kyle Griffis. The franchise has been franchising since 2007 since they realized that there was a business opportunity when they gave private baseball lessons. Their simple goal was to provide indoor facilities that matched the level of quality players in the area. Shortly after, they turned their dream into a reality with their first location in Addison, Texas. The franchise has grown to over 110 units across the U.S. This is an attractive franchise opportunity for prospective franchise owners because they have multiple streams of revenue. They also enjoy the lowest available pricing with major retailers through the buying power of the franchise's corporate office.

Buying a Franchise Guide: What is a Franchise Disclosure Document?

When evaluating a franchise opportunity, reading and understanding the current version of their FDD is a necessity. Considering the benefits of franchising, such as established brand recognition and support from the franchisor, it's important to also take into account franchise fees and franchising royalty fees. Since most franchisors are privately owned companies, the current versions of their FDDs are typically not available unless requested directly from them.
