Kixx Franchise Family Expands Into 2022

31st December 2021

2021 was a fantastic year for new locations opening at Kixx, and 2022 looks to be even bigger for our Kixx Franchise Family. This includes new franchisees coming onboard and current franchisees building their existing Kixx portfolio with additional locations. 

First up, we are proud to announce that professional footballer, Joe Wright (below), and his sister Ellie Wright, will be launching Kixx Reigate & Crawley in March 2022.  

Joe Wright at Doncaster Rovers

26-year-old, Joe Wright, first started his career at Huddersfield Town and joined Doncaster Rovers in 2016.  Since signing, Joe had been a regular in the Rovers defence every year until the end of last season, where he sustained a serious injury, ruling him out for all of this current campaign. 

Ellie Wright is no stranger to business having worked with some of the biggest brands in the UK in both Marketing and PR over her successful career. 


What a dynamic family duo Kixx Reigate & Crawley will have at the helm!

Also joining in 2022, we have super talented Walsall Midfielder, Alfie Bates, launching Kixx Coventry.

At just 20 years of age, Alfie will be one of our youngest ever Kixx Franchisees but there are no doubts that Alfie will become a very successful Kixx Franchisee with his inspiring mindset and journey.

Alfie (pictured above) has now notched up over 60 career appearances for Walsall and has an extremely promising future ahead. 

We are very excited to be working alongside Alfie in a location that means so much to him. 

2021 Success Brings Expansions To Current Network

Thanks to the incredible growth and continued success in 2021 for many of our franchisees, this has led to an even greater investment from some of our existing network. 

Armed Forces Veterans, Neil and Chris Pope (pictured below), who launch Kixx Plymouth in April last year, will be launching Kixx Exeter in March 2022.

Kixx Grimsby owners, Lewis Collins and Harry Warwick will again be joining forces and adding to their current portfolio with Kixx Reading to launch in March. Finally for this particular round-up, Joss Labadie, our Kixx Newport franchisee, and team-mate of Alfie Bates, will be launching Kixx Redditch early 2022.

Incredibly this is just the start for new Kixx areas arriving over the next 12 months and we will share the journey as we progress.
