Freedom Boat Club Announces 250th Location Supported by Record Growth in 2020
December 01 2020 - 06:00AM
Freedom Boat Club, a division of Brunswick Corporation (NYSE: BC)
and the nation’s largest boat club, today announced its 250th
location. The newest franchise, opening in spring 2021 in
Delran, New Jersey, represents Freedom’s first location in the
Philadelphia market. Tom, Bev and Josh Rosella, owners of the new
location, also run and manage eight other Freedom Boat Club
locations in Delaware, Southern New Jersey and the Hudson River
Valley.
Since May 2019, the franchise network has grown from 170 to 250
locations and increased memberships 61 percent with now more than
36,500 memberships across 31 states, Canada and Europe. Throughout
2020, Freedom Boat Club has experienced record growth, completing
more than 400,000 trips during the year, exposing a broader range
of consumers to the boating lifestyle offering members ease,
convenience and a low barrier to entry to enjoy time on the
water.
“We are thrilled to be part of such an important milestone for
Freedom Boat Club,” said Bev Rosella, Freedom Boat Club franchisee.
“When we opened our first location, we hoped that we could create
an experience for our members that would allow them to have
lifelong memories on the water. To have nine locations now is
just incredible and we look forward to meeting new boaters in the
Philadelphia area.”
“It has been a record year for Freedom Boat Club, and we are
energized by the success that we and our franchise partners
have created in the marketplace,” said Cecil Cohn, President,
Freedom Boat Club Network. “Freedom continues to exceed our
growth expectations and reach new heights. I remain encouraged
and excited about our continued momentum as we head into 2021.”
Also, in 2020, Freedom was named to Entrepreneur magazine’s
first Top Growth Franchises list, which recognizes the 150
companies with the greatest positive franchise unit growth in North
America over a three-year period.
At Freedom Boat Club, the motto is “Boating Made Simple.” The
club model enables members to enjoy all the perks of being on the
water while the company takes care of the purchasing, maintaining,
insuring, storing and other aspects of boating. Members can
take advantage of a diverse fleet of boats, on-water training and
social events that the club has to offer – and with the reciprocity
opportunities, club members can enjoy Freedom Boat Club anywhere
there is a location. It’s as simple as reserving the boat, showing
up, getting the keys and enjoying the day.
The Delran location will be located at Dredge Harbor Boat
Center, 67 St Mihiel Dr, Delran, NJ 08075 and you can learn more at
