An Unanticipated, Moving Moment: Massage Heights Promotes Russell Hoff to COO – Live on Stage

Tatyana Stemkovski2022-10-19T10:16:25-04:00October 19th, 2022|Tags: balanced and healthy lifestyle, Massage Heights, membership-based therapeutic services, pain management, reduction of stress, relaxation, skin therapy services, therapeutic massage and facial services|

Wellness Franchise Creates Multiple Moments of Surprise at ‘Rise to Lead’ Franchisee Conference.

SAN ANTONIO — In one of many inspiring moments for attendees at its recent 2022 annual conference, Massage Heights promoted Russell Hoff – one of wellness brand’s longest standing team members – to the role of Chief Operating Officer. The on-stage announcement stunned Hoff and brought the more than 250 Franchise Owners, Retreat Directors, Lead Massage/Skin Therapists and others in attendance to their feet to honor Hoff and his well-deserved promotion.

Hoff’s promotion was fitting for the theme of the conference, “Rise to Lead,” which was designed to focus on leadership, team building and culture. Massage Heights, which offers high-quality massage, skincare and wellness services throughout North America, has 120 Retreats, with new locations expected to open in 2023.

Having served the brand in various roles for nearly 14 years, most recently, VP of Operations, Hoff was onstage presenting when President & CEO Susan Boresow surprised him with the promotion to COO. Boresow said of Hoff, “Russell has been an invaluable asset to our brand. His strong analytical, managerial, communication and leadership skills have kept us on pace for the continued growth and success that impacts everyone in our system.”

Humbled, Hoff said, “It’s been a rewarding journey and privilege to grow alongside the brand and the people who show up every day, committed to furthering wellness by caring for guests, members and everyone within the retreats,” Hoff said. “It’s been a great year for the franchise, and these owners and their team members are why we do what we do.”

Another planned surprise moment occurred when CG Funk, Sr. VP of Culture & Industry Relations, announced she was taping her popular “Outside the Room” virtual show and podcast onstage at conference, then introduced special guest – Olympic gold medalist, Kerri Strug, the iconic athlete whose performance in the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta cinched the gold medal for the U. S. women’s gymnastics team. In the interview, Strug shared her life story, along with important dynamics of leadership and following one’s dreams.

In addition, dozens of franchisees were acknowledged for their notable accomplishments through a series of awards, including nearly 40 owners who were recognized for reaching the “Million Dollar Club” milestone. The Rookie of the Year honor went to Tammy and Michael Busch in Alamo Ranch, who opened their first retreat in San Antonio in 2020. The couple impressively fast-tracked to the company’s Million Dollar Club just 16 months after opening. The Franchisee of the Year award went to Jennifer Burlington, who took ownership of her first Massage Heights Retreat in 2008 and continues to break performance records year after year. Burlington currently owns five Massage Heights retreats, three of which are in the top 5 in the company for revenue. New this year, the recipient of the inaugural Culture Award was given to Alan Reiman who has been a franchisee for more than a decade. His retreat in Chattanooga, TN is a prime example of Massage Heights culture, executed through a team that is dedicated to elevating the lives of every person who enters its doors. This culture had resulted in high performance and employee retention, and the retreat joining the company’s 1,000-Member Club and Million Dollar Club.

“Between the announcement of Russell’s appointment to COO, to so many of our franchisees being recognized for their hard work and going above and beyond for Massage Heights, it was rewarding to see everyone’s hard work pay off,” Boresow said. “The conference reminded me of how important our work is and inspired all of us to continue on the pathway of providing people with high quality wellness services.”

Media Advisory: Nation’s Largest Scholarship Program for Veterans Kicks off Five-Week Fundraising Drive

Tatyana Stemkovski2022-10-14T10:00:38-04:00October 14th, 2022|Tags: haircuts for men and boys, personal care services, Sport Clips, sports-themed haircutting franchise, veterans|

Founder & Veteran Gordon Logan Says Sport Clips/VFW Scholarship Has Raised $11.4 Million for Thousands of Vets to Date.

GEORGETOWN, Texas — Sport Clips Haircuts, a national franchise with almost 1,900 locations, is kicking off its annual scholarship fundraising drive for veterans. The campaign will take place for the five weeks leading up to Saturday, November 12, 2022.

WHO: Sport Clips’ Founder and CEO Gordon B. Logan, an Air Force C-130 pilot who flew missions in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War, created the unique scholarship in conjunction with the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) for America’s veterans in need of financial support.

WHAT: Started in 2013, the “Help A Hero” scholarship initiative has grown to the largest of its kind and has raised $11.4 million to provide 2,400 scholarships to veterans in need from all branches of military service. Last year, Logan and his Sport Clips team raised $1.55 million for the program, and this year’s goal is $1.7M.

With college tuition inflation up 8% and veterans’ education benefits stretched thin, the Help A Hero Scholarship gives veterans and their families some extra help to reach their educational goals.

WHEN: The kickoff takes place this week with a radio interview by Gordon Logan on the National Defense Radio Network (airing Oct. 15-16,) store rallies, and meetings with key stakeholders. (Mr. Logan is available for media interviews by request to inquiry@fedewaconsulting.com or 202.365.6936.)

WHERE: Participating Sport Clips stores across the U.S. will donate $2 from every hair care service provided on Veterans Day, November 11, to the program. Many participating Sport Clips locations will also offer free Veterans Day haircuts for those with military I.D. You can also donate by texting to “HERO” to 71777.

WHY: Mr. Logan’s personal story, from U.S. Air Force pilot to Wharton/MIT graduate, successful franchisor in all 50 states + Canada, and recognition of being “Entrepreneur of the Year” by the International Franchise Association (IFA) is most compelling. On top of it all, he believes in giving back to the men and women who serve in uniform through the “Sport Clips Help A Hero Scholarship” program.

About Sport Clips Haircuts

Sport Clips Haircuts is headquartered in Georgetown, Texas. It was established in 1993 and began franchising in 1995.

PHOENIX — Anago Cleaning Systems, an industry-leading commercial cleaning franchise with over 45 territories and 1,700 Unit Franchises throughout the U.S. and Canada, announced its newest Master Franchise expansion in the great state of Arizona.

Matt’s career with a public accounting firm ended when he decided to buy out his father, who was ready to retire. Matt expanded Anago of the Bay Area into Sacramento and renamed his company Anago of Northern California while setting sights on further expansion. After several years at the helm and successfully navigating his company through some of the strictest COVID mandates, Matt capitalized on the opportunity to purchase the Master Franchise operations in Arizona with a strong focus on expanding throughout the Phoenix Valley into other parts of the state.

“We are excited to take control of the Master Franchise territory of Arizona,” said Matt. “Our success in Northern California has taught us a great deal, and we look forward to working toward creating small business ownership pathways for Arizona’s community of interested entrepreneurs.”

In a recent American Legislative Exchange Council analysis, Arizona ranked No. 1 for economic performance based on the state’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP), population, and job growth. Its low tax rates, business credits, limited regulations, sunny weather, and low cost of living have made it a draw for businesses. These healthy indicators encourage small business owners across the state, ready to seize new opportunities and pursue economic growth.

Recently, Anago Cleaning Systems was recognized by Franchise Business Review as a leading, recession-resistant franchise for its strength, viability, and profitability during strained economic times. Additionally, Anago Cleaning Systems topped the list of best franchises for minority entrepreneurs and was recently featured by Black Enterprise Magazine as the #1 Franchise for Black Entrepreneurs.

“Matt is an exemplary Master Franchise owner, bringing institutional knowledge of commercial cleaning franchise operations along with the business, finance, and leadership qualities that made him successful in Northern California,” said Adam Povlitz, CEO & President of Anago Cleaning Systems. “We’re excited to support his expansion into Arizona and the continuance of building opportunities for people interested in launching their own small business through the Anago Unit Franchise model.”

Because of this strong business ethic, history of growth, and business-friendly franchise program, Anago is consistently recognized by industry peers, including its regular inclusion within Entrepreneur’s suite of ranking systems. Anago has earned top positions for several years in the magazine’s main rankings. These include Franchise 500, Fastest Growing Franchise, Top-Ranked Franchises Under $50K, Top Home-Based Franchise, and Top Global Franchise. Anago Cleaning Systems’ continued inclusion within these rankings demonstrates the brand’s rising popularity with franchisees and clients.

“Anago Cleaning Systems is a pioneer of the master franchise system, allowing successful professionals to operate their regional franchises while allowing small businesses to invest in their success,” added Povlitz. “Both levels simply focus on running their business while we provide the marketing technologies, sales support, and critical tools to grow. We expect continued growth and expansion in 2022 and beyond, as an industry.”
