"“Extra Innings is owned and operated by a group of coaches, players and businessmen, with the right mix of each, to be successful and profitable in today’s business climate. Their enthusiasm for baseball and softball mixes the best in training techniques, programs and product knowledge to draw both young and old into their facilities……….Worth Sports offers Extra Innings franchisees our complete line of baseball and softball equipment at the lowest team pricing available with extended dating. Normally, this could take years to develop.”
"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 "Triple Threat" operating system and the technology and personal experience to support each franchise business."
"… Extra Innings has a perfect mix of training, practice and retail. A lot of other batting cages just seem to focus on how many tunnels they can rent and forget about catering to their customers needs with a pro shop, not Extra Innings. They have everything you need for baseball and softball. Their buying power assures you that you are getting the very best pricing …"
"The knowledge and Professionalism displayed by Extra Innings is second to none in the industry. The purchasing power is key to the success in any new franchise....Extra Innings allows the franchisee to compete favorably in an ever competitive industry."
“Without Extra Innings support, an independent batting cage would never get the lines. That is available to Extra Innings facilities. Four words describe our relationship with Extra Innings BEST PRICING AND PROGRAMS.”
"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."
"Because of the success and size of the Extra Innings buying group they are able to purchase product at a discounted level. Not to mention they are always the first one shipped with the most current technologies. Louisville Slugger is proud to be a partner with Extra Innings."
"If there is strength in numbers, Extra Innings franchisees have it on a downhill pull. Receiving maximum discounts as an individual location in the group in today’s competitive environment is a huge benefit to them. Their trade show becomes more and more important to them to that end."
"The package that Extra Innings presented was one of the best that we’d seen."
"All-Star has had a very good working relationship with Extra Innings. They work extremely hard to get the best pricing possible for the Franchises. We believe the model for Extra Innings to be exceptional. The set up is similar to "buying groups" as far as putting together the franchisees to increase the buying power as a group. The benefit from us is that you get the best pricing for a small booking commitment because of the total buying power of the group as a whole. Also we offer new store programs to Extra Innings that are not offered independent dealers."
"My dealings with the Extra Innings Franchise Company and franchisees have been nothing short of professionalism. The Extra Innings franchise show is run very smoothly and effectively. All franchisees receive important buying information. No other independent batting cage can offer this amount of leadership both in the cages and in the office, by so many experienced personnel."
"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."
"Extra Innings has excellent communication and instills confidence in the company by doing what they say they will do. Elite-Kold fits the Extra Innings business mold of quality product and service. Extra Innings is service motivated toward its customers."
"The existing community of Extra Innings franchise owners was a great help with the insight and information into the financial strengths and challenges of our business."
"Having a relationship with a nationally recognized, premier training center carries many benefits."
" Our business with the entire Extra Innings group is good….Any other group similar to Extra Innings that goes through our system will usually find their account treated as “standard”. That usually means a day in the warehouse, moving up the conveyor line. We keep your stuff moving. Franchisees seem to appreciate that most."
"Extra Innings franchisees get to be serviced by local territory reps that know the landscape of that particular territory. There are so many regulations and requirements that are so different from territory to territory and have knowledgeable veteran sales rep is a strong plus for these franchises."
"Extra Innings is there to give you the support and materials you need to succeed and the guidance, but just like anything else, if you’re an entrepreneur, you’ve got to make it happen yourself."
"….at Easton we have a very good knowledge of your business model compared to what we may have for some other cage or small independent opening up. You have the advantage of seeing that quick approval from the rep …."
"… every Extra Innings franchise will receive any POP that we create to support the Mattingly product presentation and communicate the benefit of the V-GRIP. Independent cage facilities can’t afford the expense and/or just don’t have that type of market presence to warrant our investment in POP in them."
"I spent 30 years in my last business and decided it was time for a change."
"If you love baseball, I’d go do it."
