Time2Padel

Time2Padel is a retail chain specialized in everything padel — rackets, footwear, apparel, and accessories from dozens of brands under one roof. It started in Spain, where padel took root earlier than elsewhere in Europe, and instead of running courts it bet on what players need before they head out: a well-stocked store with expert advice. It differs from an ordinary sports shop in its narrow focus — it doesn't sell everything from football to fitness, but goes deep on a single growing sport, so customers find a range a generalist can't match.

As a franchisee you get a license to the brand, access to authorized distribution from dozens of manufacturers on the network's buying terms, the store's visual identity, and the head office's marketing support. The brand is today part of a larger Spanish group focused on padel retail, so the buying terms are backed by the volume of the whole group. What stays on you is the premises and its fit-out, hiring and training the sales team, inventory, and daily operations. The concept's specialty is the „corner“: instead of a whole store you carve out a branded kiosk inside another venue — a padel club or sports center, say — so you enter the brand with a smaller footprint and a lower cost.
