SAN RAFAEL, Calif., May 14, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — VillaSport Athletic Club and Spa announced today that it has launched a nationwide search for a President to lead the company into its next chapter of growth. VillaSport is a subsidiary of Syufy Enterprises, a long-standing retail and real estate holding company based in San Rafael, CA. Syufy is best known for founding and growing the premier West Coast movie theater chain Century Theatres, which it sold in 2006 after growing it to 1,000 screens in 13 states. In 2007, seeking to replicate its success in the movie exhibition business, Syufy founded VillaSport, a resort-style athletic club and spa offering a unique combination of luxury amenities, state-of-the-art equipment and innovative programs for the entire family.
Since opening its first athletic club in Colorado Springs, CO, VillaSport has expanded to seven clubs in the western United States, with additional locations in San Jose, CA; Roseville, CA; Beaverton, OR; Katy, TX; Cypress, TX; and The Woodlands, TX. “With a core set of club assets and an established brand, we are seeking to expand the concept in the western United States. Ultimately, our goal is to mirror the growth and success we achieved with Century Theatres,” said Joseph Syufy, Vice Chairman of Syufy Enterprises. “At this stage of our growth, we need a seasoned and focused leader who is experienced in growing strong brands,” added Mr. Syufy.
To lead this search, VillaSport has hired Russell Reynolds Associates, a global leadership advisory and search firm. “We are confident that Russell Reynolds Associates will find a talented and energetic leader. With their global footprint, Russell Reynolds Associates can access the strongest candidate pool available. Our goal is to complete this search over the next few months,” commented Mr. Syufy.
