Owner Perspectives

"Having suffered a knee injury that kept me from chasing my baseball dream I had resolved to working in the corporate world. I still coached my sons then Extra Innings came along. It was a perfect fit; it allowed me to have the next best thing outside of playing. Their experience both in the retail and the operations of the business has allowed me to have success in owning a business sooner than had I done it on my own."

Mike Connolly – Extra Innings Margate, FL

"Extra Innings has given me the opportunity to combine my passion for the sport with my passion for business. Extra Innings provides the platform for success and gives you the support and tools to get there. With choosing Extra Innings, it has allowed us to achieve results much quicker than doing this on our own. We have created revenue streams in several different areas and become a one stop shop to our customers, due to Extra Innings partnerships with the top brands in the industry. It's truly a pleasure to walk into your own business and have the ability to provide a service and products that can make a difference in the community and a person's life."

Jim Wolff – Extra Innings Indy South, IN

"As a partner in multiple Extra Innings locations and a business owner it has been easy to work with the franchise company as it has always had an open door policy when I had questions or ideas. The connections and advice they provide are invaluable to providing a full service training facility. The staff at the corporate office have always given 100% to give me the tools to succeed."

Rob Smith & Jason Willhite – Extra Innings Frederick, MD, Hagerstown, MD, York, PA & Tempe, AZ

"Extra Innings has given me the chance to make living doing something that I am truly passionate about. Player development is something I have been doing since my days in college but now I am able to do it on a much wider scale. Also being able to help people make the correct decision on the gear that they buy builds that trust that customers are looking for. Having the Extra Innings family a phone call away for guidance or equipment help makes this a very easy way to run a business. They keep it simple and that gives me good piece of mind."

Nate Mixon – Extra Innings Shreveport, LA

"We searched for a franchise that would utilize our passions: community service, the development of youth, customer service and, of course, an intensity and zeal for all that is baseball and softball! The Extra Innings franchise structure and business opportunity had all the right ingredients for individual franchise success. Their staff and development experts made the choice very easy for us. They combine an outstanding registered brand with their unique operating system and the technology and personal experience to support each franchise business."

Joe Fairley – Extra Innings Saratoga, NY

"I've been a salesman my whole life, and having the opportunity to own my own business, especially something I have a passion for, has been second to none. It has been one of the best things that ever happened to me. I probably could've done this on my own, but would not have been as successful as I've been with Extra Innings. I don't think I would've been able to ramp-up as quickly as I did and certainly wouldn't be able to do the retail Pro Shop sales we've done already."

Dan Pill – Extra Innings Watertown

"Extra Innings gives you the opportunity, as someone who played minor league ball and is involved in baseball, to go out and teach the game the way I would teach it, yet give you a lot of guidance in the retail aspects of the business and help you run a successful business."

Angel Lugo – Extra Innings Wappinger

"Extra Innings has enabled me to own my own business, in an area that I am passionate about, the games of baseball and softball. Extra Innings is not just another batting cage but offers the triple threat: professional instruction, batting cages and a pro shop that allows us to offer the best in sporting goods to our customers."

Dan Vitale – Extra Innings Shelby Township, MI

"Extra Innings Franchise Company can be summed up in one word; integrity. They have shown patients, flexibility and professionalism through our whole process. They have only given us confidence in our ability provide the best products and services available. While there are no guarantees of success, Extra Innings Franchise Company definitely will improve your odds."

Tucker Johnson – Extra Innings Vancouver, WA

"The training I just recently received ahead of my facility's start-up was a great experience. The Extra Innings' team was generous with their knowledge and experience, and clearly vested in helping to see my business succeed. The training was a positive and fun experience, and left me confident I have capable and committed resources in the franchise company as I seek to raise the game in my local community."
