Meet the MassageLuXe Franchise Team
Mark Otter
Mark Otter is the President and Chief Executive Officer of MassageLuXe.
As CEO, Mark’s role is to organize the company, implement growth, and structure the executive team so it is both proactive and reactive with the franchise base. Mark says his primary role is to ensure the success of MassageLuXe’s franchisees, and his secondary role is to facilitate the growth of the brand. His goal is to see the spa franchise quadruple in size to 250 locations over the next five years.
For Mark, strong relationships create a strong team. He sets high expectations for his team members, but he also makes sure the lines of communication are always open. Mark admits a great leader must be able to make tough decisions, but also be willing to lean on trusted sources for information and expertise. Mark’s greatest strengths are his drive, leadership, and ability to unite a team around a common goal — even during the most challenging of times. Those attributes have been instrumental in strengthening the relationship between the franchise owner and franchisor.
MassageLuXe has enjoyed a renewed sense of excitement under Mark’s guidance and is well-positioned for continued growth and success under his leadership.
Prior to joining the MassageLuXe team, Mark spent seven years as a Division President for a national burger brand and five years as a franchisee of an upscale steak and seafood brand. Mark’s early career was spent with a national family dining brand, where he worked his way through the ranks from General Manager to Regional Vice President of Operations during his 12 years.
Mark lives in St. Louis with his wife, who also works for the brand. He is an avid golfer and spends much of his free time trying to beat his daughter on the links, with very limited success.

Testimonials
As our family grows, we wanted to make sure that we were investing in something that would provide a secure future for us. After researching the massage therapy industry and exploring our options, we knew that MassageLuXe was the right choice. The support and guidance they offer their franchise owners is truly unparalleled. From start to finish, they've been there to help us every step of the way. Plus, their social media and marketing programs are top-notch, which is an invaluable asset to any business.
There is a human connection at MassageLuXe that I didn’t get with other brands in this industry. It really felt like family when I attended Discovery Day. I don’t feel like I am just another number in a bucket bringing them revenue. MassageLuXe corporate has an amazing supportive environment and culture I plan to extend to our spa locally.
I started doing research into the health and wellness industry and came across MassageLuXe. The more I learned about the company, the more I loved the company. I am excited to be the person to introduce the brand to the Wilmington area and be part of someone’s health and wellness journey.
MassageLuXe is focused on helping people feel great long term, not prescribing temporary solutions that often come with complications. We really appreciate MassageLuXe’s approach to overall health and wellness. The spas are beautifully designed and welcoming.
This is a fantastic company. It allows me great flexibility as a franchise owner. We get the best of both worlds. My wife and I still work our full-time jobs and enjoy all the benefits of business ownership. With our children being so young, we love spending time with them, and our dog, Rami. We’ve been able to define how active we are in our location and work accordingly, based on our hectic schedules.
What better place to promote our own healthy lifestyle than this brand which is all about self-care and rejuvenation. I had been a retail manager for years and was burned out, working too many hours. I knew it had to change for my well-being.
We’ve been thinking about launching this spa since 2016, when we had a conversation with friends who are MassageLuXe franchisees and area developers in Detroit. They raved about the franchise. It’s been an exciting journey to finally purchase and open the spa in Leawood.
We’ve been very successful since day one. MassageLuXe International does a great job of putting forth a business plan that is really easy to follow and takes all of the guess work out of it.
Jump on the opportunity now while there are still locations available! Eventually, there won’t be sites to develop. You will be successful no matter where you are. If you follow the system and put in the work, you’ll have a successful spa.
