After 50 years of putt-putt golf and 107 franchised locations, Putt-Putt Golf Courses of America, Inc. has announced its plans to expand through franchising in Nashville or other markets, according to this article in the Nashville Business Journal. The company recently rolled out a new look for its Centers and is working franchisees to convert existing Centers to the upgraded format.
The franchisees, however, have expressed some concerns about their franchisor's communication and its marketing efforts. Recently, the franchisees formed a franchisee association to provide a forum to discuss issues and ideas with the franchisor.
