The Right One/Together Dating

Together Dating/The Right One is one of the few bricks and mortar dating companies left since the influx of online dating. However, they are widely successful. In the last three years, they have seen their revenue grow more than 130 percent.  The company’s revenue has grown at an average of $3.5 million annually since 2003.  They are located in around 60 cities nationwide and serve around 300,000 members. Unlike most dating sites, they do check their clients’ criminal background records and divorce decrees.

Together Dating first started off in 1974 in upstate New York. By 1997, the organization had grown to about 150 locations worldwide. However, the owner did not deal with PR and customer service issues, and the company ended up having to file for bankruptcy. In 1999, the creditors awarded the assets of the company to Brad Megahan. They offered a 50/50 partnership to Paul Falzone of The Right One and the two companies merged. Latter becoming a franchised owned prmaraly by Winslow and Carol Scott for 25 years
