Leading Massage and Facial Spa Franchise Accelerates Expansion Efforts in California, Texas, New York, Florida and Illinois<\/em><\/h2>\n

PHILADELPHIA, PA –\u00a0Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa,<\/a> the nation\u2019s leading luxury massage and facial spa franchise, announced today that 2022 marked one of the most successful years in its 19-year history, passing the 550-unit mark, opening 39 new spas, and signing 48 new franchise agreements which includes expansion into Hawaii, a new territory for the brand. This continuous growth is fueled by the support of existing franchisees, which make up nearly half of the operators who opened new spas over the last year and 80 percent of the brand\u2019s future development pipeline.<\/p>\n

\u201c2022 was an incredible year for Hand & Stone. \u00a0We are excited to see the membership network continue to grow, in both new and existing Hand & Stone spas. \u00a0We welcomed new franchisees to the system and continued to grow with our established operators, whose confidence in the brand exemplifies the strength of our business model,\u201d said John Teza, CEO of Hand & Stone. \u201cIn addition to reaching the 550-unit mark, we were also able to expand our executive leadership team in 2022, promoting two long-time high performers in Lisa Rossmann and Meghan Lally, while adding a trio of accomplished executives from outside the brand. Hand & Stone\u2019s leadership, unparalleled service, product innovation and strong performance has enabled the brand to continue to be a thriving business for our franchisees.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to aggressive franchise development, Hand & Stone experienced significant growth nationwide throughout 2022, opening in key markets throughout North America including the brand\u2019s first locations in Boise, Idaho and El Paso, Texas. Hand & Stone\u2019s commitment to innovation is another driving force behind its ongoing success, rolling out advanced and proprietary services such as CryoSkin systemwide. Hand & Stone continues to stay at the forefront of the spa market, by offering a variety of revenue streams to franchisees and top-quality skincare and massage services to guests.<\/p>\n

\u201cSetting each operator up for success as they navigate the entire franchising process, and beyond, has allowed us to expand quickly and strategically over the years,\u201d said Kris Smith, Senior Vice President, Real Estate Development. \u201cThe Hand & Stone corporate team guides franchisees through the process, playing a large part in providing a smooth experience to the end client.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2023, Hand & Stone has aggressive nationwide expansion plans to open 50 new spas across North America, targeting growth in key markets including Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Atlanta, Boston, Minneapolis, and Houston.<\/p>\n

Throughout 2022, Hand & Stone continued to be recognized as a leading massage and facial services concept and outstanding franchise system. The brand ranked #1 on Entrepreneur Magazine\u2019s highly competitive Franchise 500 ranking of the top franchise brands as the leading massage and spa services franchises as well as a coveted finalist in Franchise Update Magazine 2022 Franchise Innovation Awards for the Most Innovative Product Innovation for its CryoSkin services.<\/p>\n
