Industry Leading Spa Franchise Adds Two Dozen Spas Across Eight States.

TREVOSE, Pa. — Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa, the nation’s leading luxury massage and facial spa franchise, announced today that 23 Massage Green franchise locations have converted to the Hand & Stone Massage and Facial franchise brand. The spas are located in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Michigan, Ohio, Utah and Virginia. These conversions allow Hand & Stone to optimize markets where the brand already operates and to establish a presence in new, priority markets. Select converting franchise owners also plan to open two additional Hand & Stone locations in California and Michigan as part of this transaction.

“The conversions of Massage Green spas into our system are the latest example of our steady and sustainable domestic expansion strategy,” said John Teza, President and Chief Executive Officer at Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa. “Through this transition, we will be introducing our premium massage and skincare services to a wider audience and attracting additional potential franchise investors in our target markets. The Hand & Stone franchise community now includes nearly 600 Hand & Stone locations across the U.S. and Canada. We’re incredibly excited to welcome the Massage Green franchise owners and their team members to the Hand & Stone community.”

Ahead of the conversions, Hand & Stone hosted the new franchisees for training at the brand’s corporate headquarters in Pennsylvania. This time together served as a week of education for the latest additions to the Hand & Stone family, where they were fully immersed in the rich history and ongoing legacy of the brand. Hand & Stone’s corporate team members further demonstrated how deeply the franchisees in their system are supported across all facets of the business, generating even more excitement from the new spa owners as they embark on this journey with the brand.

“The energy in the room was palpable. Over five days, we covered operational support, our in-house marketing agency and everything in between,” said Jennifer Durham, Chief Development Officer at Hand & Stone. “It was so valuable to spend time with our 15 new franchise owners and they left feeling even more enthusiastic about the brand they are joining. With two additional Hand & Stone locations in the pipeline, we anticipate more growth from these franchisees in the future.”

The converted locations will offer their clients the Hand & Stone lifestyle membership, including access to service offerings like advanced skincare and spa services, including CryoSkin treatments, Decompression Therapy massage, Diamond Glow facial, NuFACE microcurrent facial, Percussive Therapy massage and LED Phototherapy facial. The locations will also offer CBD oil enhancements and partnerships with award-winning skincare lines, Dermalogica® (including their first ever professional device, Pro Pen), ClarityRX (CBD offerings vary by market), and the brand’s newest skincare partner, IMAGE Skincare.

The rebranding of the converted Massage Green spas has begun and all 23 converting locations will be fully rebranded as Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spas by fourth quarter 2023.

Tootl Transport Completes 11,000+ Rides in First 3 Quarters of 2023; Gets Thousands of People with Cognitive & Mobility Challenges Safely to Their Destinations

Tatyana Stemkovski2023-09-18T10:13:01-04:00September 18th, 2023|Tags: special needs non-emergency transportation franchise, Tootl Transport, transportation for people of all abilities, wheelchair accessible vehicles|

Accessible Transportation Franchise Sets Goal to Reach 1 Million Rides by Offering Franchises Across U.S.

NORTHBROOK, Ill. — On a mission to improve lives through safe and reliable transportation for people of all abilities, Tootl Transport has completed more than 11,000 trips through its two locations in Chicago and Milwaukee since the beginning of the year, and set a goal to provide 1 million rides by 2027 as it embarks on a growth journey of national franchise expansion.

Tootl Transport, a non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) service franchise that provides safe, accessible rides for anyone with mobility and cognitive challenges, offers specialized transportation services to anyone (youths, adults and seniors), with temporary or permanent mobility or cognitive challenges, as well as any individuals who need a dependable commute option, transporting them safely anywhere they need to go. This includes transportation to and from doctor appointments, rehabilitation sessions, school, grocery shopping, family gatherings, rides home from the hospital and more.

“It has been amazing to see the positive impact that Tootl has been able to make so far this year,” said Michelle Dacy, Tootl Founder and President. “Our compassionate and professional trained drivers go above and beyond to ensure that every rider gets to their destination safely and comfortably. Giving families peace of mind that their loved ones have a safe, reliable way to get where they need to go is a wonderful feeling.”

Frustrated with poor customer service and a lack of compassion among special needs transportation providers, Dacy established Tootl Transport in 2012 – vowing to always prioritize kindness and customer service over sales volume. In 2021, a second Tootl Transport opened in Milwaukee to serve Southeast Wisconsin. In 2023, Tootl announced plans to franchise nationwide, with a goal to bring the same level of thoughtful service to other parts of the country.

While Tootl’s drivers and specially equipped vehicles are designed to transport people who require wheelchairs or walkers and/or have cognitive challenges, many adult children of seniors frequently contact Tootl to obtain safe, reliable rides for their parents from weddings or other family gatherings. “Most people don’t feel comfortable sending mom, dad, grandma or grandpa home in a cab or ride-share. With Tootl, they feel more secure knowing their loved ones will be driven home safely, even walked right up to their front doors.”

Because of its low overhead, ease of operation and high market demand, the innovative concept caught the attention of well-known experienced franchising industry veterans Steve Greenbaum and Brad Fishman, who are backing the franchising effort as investors and advisors. Greenbaum and Fishman helped the Dacy’s rebrand from Special Needs Chicago to Tootl and launch a second location in Milwaukee in 2021. The Milwaukee location exceeded all business expectations, even during the peak of COVID and the most challenging external economic conditions.

The booming Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) sector was estimated at $8.6 billion in 2021, and is projected to nearly double to reach over $15 billion by 2028. This market growth is primarily driven by the country’s increasing aging population and an expanding need for routine medical treatments and care.

About Tootl Transport

With its caring drivers and wheelchair accessible vehicles, Tootl transports people with cognitive or mobility challenges to a wide range of destinations, including doctor appointments, rehabilitation sessions, residential facility transports, family gatherings, hospital discharges, student transportation and more. Customers can request same-day rides, make advance reservations or arrange for recurring Tootl service. As the nation’s first special needs non-emergency transportation franchise, Tootl is committed to providing individuals of all abilities and capacities with the reliable and comfortable rides they need. Through a franchise offering, the company is providing entrepreneurs the opportunity to provide a necessary and meaningful service to underserved members of their community.

Located at 7030 Avenida Encinas, the newly minted location builds on the company’s strong pipeline of franchise locations coming to market. The physical studios allow for a hands-on way to experience Pvolve’s signature, low impact, resistance-based method, which encourages members to break a sweat, but not their bodies.

The new Pvolve studio in Carlsbad is owned and operated by local husband-and-wife duo, Kristin and Jeff Springborn.

Her passion for fitness led her to discover Pvolve and she quickly fell in love with the brand’s signature method. After learning about the franchising opportunity that Pvolve had to offer, she knew she had to be part of the fast-growing business.

“We are so grateful to bring this incredible method to Carlsbad,” said Kristin. “We love how Pvolve not only strengthens your body but improves how you move and feel every day. We want to cultivate an environment that provides a supportive community, inspires inner strength and helps members achieve their fitness and wellness goals.”

Pvolve Carlsbad offers membership options that fit your fitness needs. The three tiers of memberships include Unlimited, Starter and Flex. Those who sign up for a founding membership prior to the grand opening event on Sept. 23, lock in a lifetime discounted rate. Founding members receive other additional benefits such as access to on-demand and live virtual classes, 2-week booking period and so much more. Additional membership information can be found at https://app.pvolve.com/locations/carlsbad-south-carlsbad.

“We are thrilled to bring Pvolve’s unique, holistic training method to the dynamic Carlsbad community,” said Pvolve President Julie Cartwright. “There is nothing quite like our studios – everything from the front desk team to the beautiful beauty bars, to the class itself delivered by our expert trainers is thoughtfully designed to give members a best-in-class boutique fitness experience.”

Pvolve’s Method is supported by a Clinical Advisory Board of highly credentialed doctors, trainers and experts to offer safe and effective workouts that help you break a sweat, not your body. As recently as June 2023, world-renowned actress, producer and director, Jennifer Aniston, officially partnered with Pvolve after falling in love with the Method as a member in 2021. Through its hybrid fitness model, Pvolve can be experienced via a streaming membership which offers live and on-demand classes on Pvolve.com and on the Pvolve App, and via physical studio locations available in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Diego, and Carlsbad, with more franchises opening soon.
