where all of the programs under the 411 Brand will be held. Initially, our target areas will be
Atlanta, Los Angeles, New York, London and St. Lucia.
This state of the art facility will inherit the business model similar to that of the YMCA,
where each member will be required to have a membership to enter the facility. Also,
members will be subject to discounted program fees in order to participate in specific
programs that are offered. Each building will house the following areas :
• Full length basketball court
