America’s Largest Bathroom Remodeler Brings Innovative Bathroom Designs to Southern California Homeowners

LOS ANGELES — Re-Bath, the nation’s largest complete bathroom remodeling franchise, has announced a signed agreement in California that covers Anaheim, Irvine, and San Bernadino. This expansion will bring Re-Bath’s high-quality remodeling services to even more homeowners across Southern California, further solidifying the brand’s presence and commitment to delivering exceptional bathroom transformations in key markets.

Behind the Signed Agreement – Julio Medeiros:

Medeiros brings a wealth of experience in the industry with having worked as a contractor for more than 20 years. Additionally, he is the successful owner of WindowFits, a window installation service, and Julz Corporation, a commercial real estate contractor.
Both WindowFits and Re-Bath have established strong partnerships with Lowe’s. Drawn to Re-Bath’s consistently high scores and ratings at Lowe’s and its seamless ‘one-stop-shop’ model, Medeiros began exploring franchise opportunities with the brand.
A lifelong California resident, Medeiros has a deep-rooted connection to the community and successfully operates his other businesses in the area. His strong local ties and proven dedication to the region make him the perfect person to bring Re-Bath’s services to these new markets.

“I’ve been looking into franchise opportunities for many years and can confidently say that I’ve found the perfect fit with Re-Bath,” said Medeiros. “The brand’s commitment to quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction aligns with my vision for providing exceptional service to homeowners. I’m excited to leverage my previous experience in the industry and knowledge of these local communities to help Re-Bath expand its footprint in Southern California.”

With more than 150,000 franchise businesses and an output of $161.9 billion, the western region of the U.S. marks a great opportunity for aspiring franchisees. While Re-Bath views this region as a prime area for growth, there are still numerous territories available throughout the country.

“Julio’s extensive experience and focus on quality make him an invaluable addition to our franchise system,” said Brad Hillier, CEO of Re-Bath. “His background in contracting and deep understanding of the local markets will undoubtedly contribute to the success of our brand in these territories. We are thrilled to have him on board as we continue to expand our reach and deliver top-notch bathroom remodeling services to new communities.”

As the largest bathroom remodeling company in the United States, Re-Bath has established a proven business model, unparalleled franchise office support, and an infrastructure for growth as it continues to seek strategic franchise partners to expand its footprint nationwide.

The impressive growth achieved by the brand has not gone unnoticed as Re-Bath recently earned the No. 192 spot on Entrepreneur Magazine’s 2024 Franchise 500®, the world’s first, best and most comprehensive franchise ranking. Re-Bath also ranked No. 151 on the 2024 Franchise Times Top 400, No. 9 on Qualified Remodeler’s 2024 Top 500 Nationals List, and was recognized as No. 1 in the “Best Bathroom Renovations” category on Bob Vila’s 2022 Best Home Improvement Contractors of 2022 Ranking.

WASHINGTON — GLO30 the nation’s fastest-growing subscription-based skincare studio – closed out Q3 with the opening of its first-ever franchise locations in Austin, Texas, and Alexandria, Virginia. These two new studios mark a significant milestone for the brand as it continues its strategic expansion across the country, with an impressive 100 units in development across 11 states in its first year of franchising.

GLO30 has attracted high-profile franchisees, including investors from brands like Papa John’s, Great Clips, and even a Bravo TV celebrity housewife, reflecting strong confidence in its business model. Many franchisees are not only joining the GLO30 network but also acquiring additional territories, recognizing the growth potential of the brand. This enthusiasm is exemplified by Kasey Redus, GLO30’s first franchisee to open, who has significantly expanded her initial investment from 5 units to 14 since becoming a franchisee.

The Austin studio, located in the vibrant Westlake area, is owned and operated by Redus, who brings a wealth of entrepreneurial experience and a passion for community engagement. After co-owning and operating a successful preschool for nearly 13 years, Redus was ready for a new challenge and found GLO30 to be the perfect opportunity to combine her business acumen with her commitment to wellness. Meanwhile, the Alexandria studio, owned by Scott Shaw and Janice Nichols, strengthens GLO30’s presence in Virginia, positioning the brand as a leader in premium skincare services in the region.

“Opening the first GLO30 franchise was exhilarating, and it was an incredibly unique experience to have had the opportunity to learn how everything works from the ground up,” said Kasey Redus, GLO30’s first franchisee. “To be the first franchisee to open was a great goal to have, mainly for future bragging rights when they are all over the country.”

The opening of GLO30’s first two franchise locations in Austin and Alexandria marks a pivotal moment in the brand’s growth journey, signaling the successful launch of its franchise model and its commitment to expanding access to premium skincare services. These two openings are just the tip of the iceberg, with 100 units in development and a handful of additional openings just around the corner. These new studios not only enhance GLO30’s presence in key markets but also embody the brand’s dedication to empowering local entrepreneurs to bring high-quality skincare to their communities. As GLO30 continues to gain traction in the franchise sector, these locations will serve as a testament to the company’s innovative approach and the growing demand for personalized skincare solutions.

“Establishing our first franchise locations is not just about expansion; it’s a strategic step toward bringing GLO30’s innovative skincare model to communities across the country,” said Dr. Arleen Lamba, founder of GLO30. “We’re excited to empower our franchisees to thrive in their markets while providing exceptional skincare solutions that meet the growing demand for accessible, high-quality services.”

GLO30 is targeting the top 50 MSAs in North America for franchise growth with an emphasis on areas with high foot traffic and a thriving community.

Leading Massage and Skincare Franchise Debuts New Brand Identity, Service Innovations and Vision for the Next Generation of Wellness

SAN ANTONIO — At its annual Summit, Massage Heights made a pivotal announcement that signals the next generation for the brand. Co-Founder and CEO Shane Evans unveiled a major brand evolution and introduced a new name: Heights Wellness Retreat.

With a new brand identity comes a refreshed logo and a suite of innovative services designed to deepen the brand’s commitment to holistic wellness, all which will officially launch in 2025. While massage will continue to be a cornerstone of the brand, this milestone transformation represents a bold step forward, positioning the company to meet the evolving demands of today’s consumers while expanding its reach and impact across the U.S.

A Game-Changing Future
During its 20^th year, Massage Heights is evolving to meet the changing needs of consumers. As the legacy franchise transitions to Heights Wellness Retreat, it will prioritize offering an array of services for consumers that are all-inclusive to their well-being.

“Founding this brand 20 years ago was a life-changing moment, and now, I get to see it evolve into something greater than I ever thought it could become,” shared Evans. “The industry landscape has changed drastically over the last two decades and consumers are looking for a more complete and personalized approach to their wellness. Through our evolution to Heights Wellness Retreat, we are expanding our offerings which will result in higher revenues and profit margins for our franchisees and the ability to reach a wider audience.”

Holistic Wellness is the Future
Massage therapy has served as the core offering of Massage Heights and will remain the foundation of Heights Wellness Retreat. But as a brand that continues to prioritize innovation with its service and retail offerings, Heights will add to its existing massage and skincare services.

The 115-location franchise brand is implementing a number of touchless therapies such as lymphatic drainage, meditation, red light therapy and salt therapy that will offer consumers a new level of convenience to achieve holistic wellness. In providing integrative, personalized wellness experiences, consumers will have an opportunity to nurture their body, mind, and spirit.

An Unparalleled Opportunity
The new brand identity emphasizes the importance of a well-rounded approach to one’s health, and the expanded service innovations will focus on combining physical, mental, and emotional wellness practices. From enhanced therapeutic offerings to state-of-the-art recovery treatments, Heights Wellness Retreats will provide a transformative experience for franchisees and consumers.

“This evolution to Heights Wellness Retreat is a monumental shift for our brand strategy,” said Julie Green, Vice President of Marketing. “But we’re not just changing our name—we’re broadening our reach and redefining how we connect with our customers. It’s an exciting opportunity to expand our impact within the franchise and wellness industries, allowing us to reach new markets and strengthen our position as an industry leader.”

After sharing the future vision of the brand at its summit, Evans invited franchisees who were interested to become early adopters of Heights Wellness Retreat – with some initial changes occurring in 2025.

With the evolution to Heights Wellness Retreat and the global wellness industry projected to reach $8.7 trillion by 2027, the brand is primed for continued success. The Heights leadership team has identified key target growth markets and has prime territories available nationwide so that more communities across the U.S. have access to holistic wellness services.

Heights Wellness Retreat is currently seeking single and multi-unit operators to join its growing brand. To learn about the brand’s franchise opportunities, visit www.massageheightsfranchise.com.
