Prepare for Takeoff! MassageLuXe preps for an “explosion” of growth

Testimonials
"People are turning away from using artificial means like pain medications to combat aches and pain. Being able to offer massage therapy as part of a healthy self-care plan is important to us."
As someone who built a business from scratch, the franchise model looks so much easier. The recipe is right in front of me, I just need to follow it. I’m starting with three locations, and who knows from there! I have high expectations, and aspirations of opening more spas in the area as I grow my new businesses.
Being part of a franchise can be an amazing experience. Systems, software, color of walls, furniture, flooring – MassageLuXe has all of that thought out for you and provides the needed training.
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.
We considered several spa brands, and MassageLuXe won us over with little competition. Most day spas feel more like doctors’ offices. They get you in and get you out. MassageLuXe is a more luxurious experience, and you sense that when you walk into the beautiful lobby. We also found MassageLuXe to be a tightknit franchise family with energetic leadership.
MassageLuXe was the right choice for several reasons. They’re very honest and upfront about their business. I felt confident in the support they promised us.
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.
The health and wellness industry is booming. When looking into new business ventures, it was a natural move for me to choose MassageLuXe because of the business model. The brand allows you to offer top-of-the-line products and services from licensed massage therapists.
We are health and wellness, that’s what MassageLuXe is. It’s not just a fluff service—we provide a service that really will improve the life of our guests.
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.
We love our MassageLuXe spas. Working in our spas keeps us from retiring completely. It helps us keep the creative juices flowing. We’ve never looked back since joining the franchise. We have absolutely no regrets.
