There are multiple factors that contribute to sales performance. These include market conditions and abilities of the franchise operator. All franchise candidates should make their own final determination of sales projections, investment, operating cost, and return on investment.
The protected territory for a MassageLuXe Spa is typically a three-mile radius around the physical location of the spa. The territory might be larger or smaller.
The size of the territory depends on population density, demographics, market trends, and traffic flows.
The timeline for opening a MassageLuXe Spa can vary based on multiple factors. This includes the site selection process and when your approved location is ready to begin construction. On average, a MassageLuXe franchisee can expect to open their spa six to 12 months after signing their franchise agreement.
Actual construction generally takes only 10 to 12 weeks. MassageLuXe will help you secure real estate and permitting. We find that these processes take up much of the timeline.
