these projections This high profitability is driven by low Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) and high capacity utilization This guide focuses on seven strategies to maximize revenue per square foot and control fixed labor costs, the primary levers in this model We detail how to shift the product mix toward higher-value Competitive Team training (priced at $\\$250$\/month in 2026) and how to manage the Occupancy Rate, which must grow from 450% in 2026 to 900% by 2030 to realize the full revenue potential of $\\$181$ million\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"image-section
