Blo Blow Dry Bar Introduces New Location to Greater Los Angeles

2019-03-27T16:07:58-04:00March 27th, 2019|Tags: , , , , , |

First-time franchisee brings flawless blow outs to Arcadia

ARCADIA, Calif. — Blo Blow Dry Bar, North America’s original blow dry bar and the world’s largest blow dry bar franchise, announced today the opening of its newest bar in Arcadia, California, marking the third Blo Blow Dry Bar in greater Los Angeles. Located at 316 E Huntington Dr., Blo Arcadia will kick off its grand opening on April 12th with a ribboncutting ceremony accompanied by treats, beverages and $35 blow out specials lasting through the grand opening weekend.

Blo Arcadia is owned and operated by first-time franchisee, Helen Lin. With a dual bachelor’s degree in economics and psychology and a master’s degree in international business, Helen’s hardworking nature led her to a successful career in real estate development. But her entrepreneurial spirit ignited a desire to own her own business – one that would fill a need in her hometown of Arcadia. As a working woman whose career took up much of her time, Helen was attracted to Blo Blow Dry Bar, as the concept provides a practical and enjoyable experience that can fit into a busy schedule. Coupled with the desire to empower women by making them look and feel good, all while saving them the time and stress of styling their own hair and makeup, Helen made the decision to become a franchisee and open her own location in Arcadia.

“We are thrilled to partner with someone as dedicated and hardworking as Helen. Her knowledge of the industry and background in real estate are great attributes that will set her up for success as she launches Blo Arcadia,” said Vanessa Yakobson, CEO of Blo Blow Dry Bar. “Helen is deeply rooted in her community and with her connection to her neighbors, family and friends, there’s no one better to introduce Blo to the Arcadia suburb.”

Over the past few years, an array of beauty and personal care brands have established a strong presence across California in an effort to meet the needs of the wellness-oriented consumer. With a demand for more retailers that promote a balanced lifestyle, Blo Blow Dry Bar’s presence in Arcadia will positively impact the community and encourage residents in the area to prioritize self-care.

“I’ve always seen myself operating my own business and partnering with a brand like Blo Blow Dry Bar is a dream come true. My family is very familiar with the blow out concept, as we would frequently treat ourselves to blow outs on our trips to China, so I’m excited to not only bring a sense of familiarity to the community, but also an affordable luxury that I know our town needs,” said Helen Lin. “When deciding on the location, I wanted to make sure Blo Arcadia was in close proximity to not only residents, but also other businesses that Blo Arcadia could partner and collaborate with on future initiatives in our hometown. That’s why I’m eager to introduce Arcadia to Blo Blow Dry Bar.”

Recognized as America’s original blow dry bar, Blo Blow Dry Bar believes in creating an inclusive space where people of all ages, ethnicities and orientations can feel welcomed, represented and gorgeous. Combining a chic and modern design with a fun and lively environment, Blo creates a seamless and enjoyable experience for guests from start to finish. Expertly trained bloers are available for consultation seven days a week to meet the needs of all customers. Blo’s hair menu includes seven signature styles to choose from, ranging from a sleek ponytail to flirty and bouncy curls.

Venture X Finds Sweet Spot in Booming Shared Workspace Category

2019-03-26T15:05:51-04:00March 26th, 2019|Tags: , , , , |

Globally Recognized Coworking Space Franchise Fills Void between Hipster & Formal

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — As 21,306 coworking spaces are projected to open by the end of 2019, Venture X® is emerging as a top-tier player by filling an obvious gap in the exploding shared workspace category – the middle ground between millennial playgrounds and stiff suit-and-tie work environments.

“We designed our shared workspaces to feel modern and professional, a collaborative community where you can get your work done without the distraction of office parties or ping pong tables, but not so stuffy you feel the need to wear a suit and tie,” said Venture X President Jason Anderson. “We continue to grow because we fill a unique demand for warm and welcoming office environments that meet the needs of seasoned professionals.”

Starting off as simple shared office spaces in the 2000s, coworking has since evolved to spacious facilities equipped with ping pong tables and beers on tap, or, on the contrary, exclusive and elitist communities focused on networking. Positioned perfectly between the two, Venture X is focused on ‘coworking 3.0’ – providing smart, professional office spaces with a modern design aesthetic and boutique concierge-style services, allowing entrepreneurs and businesses the flexibility to grow in a diverse, engaged community.

The approach is working. Venture X’s membership-based model has seen rapid growth since its start in 2012, moving even faster in recent years through the power of franchising. With more than 60 signed locations in 18 countries, and a goal to open 21 locations by the end of Q1 2019 alone, Venture X is primed for industry dominance both internationally and domestically. Backed by the powerhouse United Franchise Group, a group of affiliated, award winning franchise companies and brands, Venture X has the support needed to grow exponentially in the coming years.

Anderson, an Air Force veteran whose impressive resume includes key positions at Premier Property Management Group and Chief Technology Officer at United Franchise Group, and being named on Forbes 30 under 30 list, said Venture X has set a goal to have 100 locations open by the end of 2022. The brand already has a strong presence domestically in Texas and is growing its footprint with new locations in Florida and Colorado, as well as internationally in Canada, Europe and across the Middle East.

“From finding the real estate to laying out the design plan for their facilities and providing state-of-the-art software to run their business, Venture X franchisees are supported every step of the way,” said Anderson. “The growing popularity of coworking, combined with the opportunity for recurring memberships, multiple revenue streams and minimal overhead, we’re seeing elevated interested among those who want to invest in our shared workplace franchise. ”

Venture X facilities consist of modern boutique office spaces designed by world-renowned architecture firm, Gensler and features high-end Herman Miller furnishings. Venture X franchisees enjoy the leisure of having all design plans and furniture taken care of, minimizing additional stress and responsibility. In a strategic alliance with essensys, a market-leader in mission-critical software for coworking spaces, Venture X franchisees can leverage comprehensive capabilities that help to onboard and manage customers, maximize occupancy, automate revenue, streamline operations and more. With essensys technology, franchisees experience further ease and support in minimalizing their workload, lowering staff costs, and delivering an excellent customer experience.

Many Venture X franchisees come from backgrounds in real estate, landlords, hotels or the financial sector. Currently the franchisor is seeking single-unit operators, with multi-unit development offered in the future. The brand’s initial franchise fee is $79,500, with a total investment cost ranging from $900$2.5M.

About Venture X

Venture X is a membership-based, shared workspace and community that is a blend of boutique hotel and modern office styles with a high level of design that feels professional and welcoming. We are designing beautiful spaces and developing an environment and community that people love coming to work to every day. Venture X is a member of United Franchise Group, a group of affiliated companies and brands, and has been recognized by Inc. as one of the best co-working spaces in the United States. The brand anticipates having 100 locations sold by the end of 2019.

Venture X has been of increasing interest to hotel owners and operators, with several new locations purchased by hotel property owners. The Venture X brand provides unique synergy with the hospitality industry, with its boutique hotel-inspired design, world-class concierge-level services, rich amenities, welcoming hospitality and brand loyalty. A place members love coming to work to every day, Venture X is included on Inc.’s list of “Best Coworking Spaces.”

“I came across Venture X in 2017, and quickly noticed how similar its model is to the hotel industry, specifically extended stay hotels,” says Mani Patel, Venture X franchisee and hotelier. “There are numerous similarities between the two industries which made my ownership run smoothly, including the membership-based model, real estate requirements, and customer demographics. It’s been exciting to join the Venture X team as they are developing, and bring my hotel expertise over to the coworking industry.”

Venture X facilities consist of modern boutique office spaces designed by world-renowned architecture firm, Gensler and features high-end Herman Miller furnishings. Venture X franchisees enjoy the leisure of having design plans and furniture taken care of, minimizing additional stress and responsibility.

“We’re excited to be showcasing our thriving model again this year at the Hunter Hotel Conference,” says Jason Anderson, President of Venture X. “Hotel owners share in Venture X’s priorities of providing members with inspired spaces, great experiences and rich amenities. We look forward to continuing to grow our franchisee base by connecting with these similar-minded hotel entrepreneurs.”

As Venture X continues to undergo tremendous expansion globally, it is the priority of the leadership and community that makes up Venture X to continue moving in a direction that helps people connect, inspire, and improve upon their businesses while they fulfill their lives.
