Multi-Unit Franchisees Open New Location to Inspire Young Minds and Support Whole-Child Development in the Community

DALLAS, June 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Multi-Unit franchisees with Unleashed Brands, the world's leading youth enrichment platform serving 20 million kids every year nationwide, recently debuted a co-branded franchised location of The Little Gym and Snapology in Leesburg, VA. This innovative concept unites two of the industry's most trusted names in enrichment and development in one space, offering families a dynamic, all-in-one destination for STEAM education and physical activity.

Long-time franchisees Chad and Tiffany Mussmon opened the 9,000 square-foot business in April. The couple currently own and operate seven The Little Gym franchises across Maryland and Virginia, in addition to running two mobile Snapology territories in the region.

"We love both brands and they meet the needs of parents in two different categories – physical development and STEAM development. We are grateful Unleashed Brands makes it possible to provide our local community with the services of these two amazing brands under one roof," said Chad Mussmon. "The co-branded location helps us lower customer acquisition costs and reach more local families. Parents are already thrilled they can bring multiple kids to both Snapology and The Little Gym at the same time and that's what it's all about for us – helping local families."

Through three-dimensional learning including physical activities, cognitive skills and social-emotional growth, The Little Gym core teaching methods create opportunities for children to experience achievement and build self-confidence as young as four months all the way through 12 years. Snapology is the premier option for STEAM programs for children between the ages of 4 through 14 that aim to teach science, technology, engineering, art and math in a playful, no-pressure environment.

"By combining two trusted brands, we're creating a space where kids can grow, learn, and thrive – cognitively, socially, and physically – all under one roof," said Michael Browning Jr., CEO of Unleashed Brands. "This co-branded launch by the Mussmons isn't just a new location, it's a meaningful step forward in serving more families and deepening our impact in the communities we're proud to be part of."

A co-branded The Little Gym/Snapology location is currently operating in Flower Mound, TX, with new franchise-owned co-branded locations opening in West Boise, ID and Albuquerque, NM.
