May 17, 2023 // Franchising.com // NEWARK, Del. - Continuing its nationwide expansion, MassageLuXe, a rapidly-growing massage and spa franchise known for delivering exceptional services in the membership-based massage, facial, and waxing industry, is pleased to announce the opening of its second franchise in Delaware. Located in Newark, home to the esteemed University of Delaware, the newest addition to the MassageLuXe family will be owned and operated by franchisees Chao Gao and Kate Fu, who are dedicated to bringing unparalleled spa and facial services to the local community.

The newest MassageLuXe location is located at 287 E. Main Street in a brand-new mixed-use building that combines residential apartments and commercial spaces. Customers can look forward to the doors opening on June 15th, and they are encouraged to take advantage of grand opening specials.

They can also enjoy a presale deal on the spa’s website, which offers a one-hour massage or facial for just $49.

Health and wellness have been integral parts of Chao Gao's journey since his family immigrated to the United States from China in 2009. Together with his parents, he helped establish an acupressure business in North Carolina, where he gained invaluable experience in the healing arts. After completing his college education, Gao climbed the ranks in the pharmaceutical industry, developing a deep understanding of the science behind wellness.

"Improving the lives of others has always been my passion, and my work in the pharmaceutical industry has allowed me to make a positive impact on a larger scale. Now, through my MassageLuXe spa, I have the opportunity to connect with individuals on a more personal level and help them achieve optimal health and wellness,” says Chao Gao, Co-owner of MassageLuXe of Newark. The benefits of massage therapy are numerous, ranging from pain relief to reduced stress, improved immunity, and enhanced mental health. I am thrilled to be opening a business that prioritizes health and wellness and can't wait to contribute to the well-being of the Newark community."

Kate and Chao are one of many MassageLuXe franchise owners who view this opportunity as a wise investment for their family's future. Gao, who is a proud father to a one-year-old son with his wife, Kate, believes that owning a MassageLuXe franchise offers the perfect balance of financial stability and personal fulfillment. "As our family grows, we wanted to make sure that we were investing in something that would provide a secure future for us," says Kate. "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."

MassageLuXe franchisees are beneficiaries of unmatched support and training from knowledgeable industry professionals who help ensure success in booming markets. Spa owners also have access to top-of-the-line management software to help coordinate each part of their business.
