“We take great pride in helping families care for their loved ones,” said Ken Thomas, new owner of Always Best Care of Austin. “The work we’ve been doing in Boerne has been a perfect way to combine my passion for quality service with a rewarding career. When I heard the previous owners were moving out of Texas and needed to sell their Austin territory, I jumped at the chance to serve another community that has a growing senior population and an increasing demand for our high standard of care and compassion. It’s an honor to continue building on the strong foundation that’s been started here at Always Best Care of Austin.”

Experienced Massage Therapist Transitions to Business Ownership with Leading Massage and Facial Franchise.

SARASOTA, Fla. — Massage Heights, a leading massage and wellness franchise, announces the grand opening of its newest location in Sarasota, FL. The new Retreat, located at 4948 South Tamiami Trail, will celebrate its opening with an event on Wednesday, June 28 from 2 – 6 p.m. With sights set on achieving another record-breaking year, the brand continues to increase its presence to offer more guests massage therapy and facial treatment options.

Behind the Sarasota Retreat is Kaitlyn Innes, a certified massage therapist with more than two decades of experience. When Innes and her husband were looking for a new business endeavor, a massage franchise concept was top of mind.

“Having worked for Massage Heights, I already knew the brand had a strong business model and exceptional service from a consumer and franchisee standpoint,” shared Innes. “Massage is what I know, live and breathe, so I couldn’t be more excited to fully dive into the industry. Having massage therapy experience allows me to better understand the needs of our Retreat’s therapists and guests. I look forward to playing a key role in my community and serving as a place where Sarasota residents and visitors feel supported in leading healthier lives.”

The local Chamber of Commerce will be present for the grand opening event, with a formal ribbon cutting at 2 p.m. Guests will have the opportunity to participate in raffles and giveaways to win prizes such as facials, massages, wellness products and a 6-month membership. All proceeds from the raffle will directly support the Denis V. Cooper Foundation, a local non-profit dedicated to supporting military Veterans diagnosed with a terminal illness or returning from service as well as their families.

“It is a testament to our brand when we have someone who worked for us on a local level return to become a franchisee,” said Susan Boresow, President & CEO of Massage Heights. “When we have someone like Kaitlyn, who has a raw passion for the industry, we know they will be a strong, successful partner as we look toward the next era of growth. Consumers continue to seek out therapeutic services, and we will continue to meet their needs and open additional locations to do so.”

CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. — Cruise Planners continues to pave the way in the field of technology and was recognized at the 5^th annual Franchise Innovation Awards in Atlanta, GA during the Franchise Customer Experience Conference. The company took home the coveted “Most Innovative Use of Technology: Products” award for their patent pending LivePlanner™ tool that they unveiled in November 2022 at their annual convention. The goal of the awards is to identify and recognize the franchisors creating and implementing the most original and successful innovative strategies and tactics to build their brand.

“It is an incredible honor to be recognized for the undisputed talent of our technology team,” said Michelle Fee, CEO & founder of Cruise Planners. “LivePlanner™ is a gamechanger and will help our advisors deliver the best experience they can for their clients and we’ve only seen the beginning.”

An independent jury of judges evaluated the innovation and objective of each of the more than 150 entrants, and we’re proud to say that we were one of the 22 recognized. Franchise innovators, game-changers, and disruptors competed in four categories: Marketing & Branding, Products & Services, Operations, and Human Resources.

Twenty-two winners were chosen from among the four categories. Each winner will be profiled in Franchise Update magazine.

Cruise Planners’ LivePlanner™ is the first interactive vacation planning tool of its kind within the travel industry. Hosted within Cruise Planners’ proprietary business management software, CP Maxx, LivePlanner™ gives franchises the opportunity to complete a live walkthrough of vacation options with their clients. These options include cruise itineraries with all major cruise lines, all-inclusive resorts, custom vacation packages, and more. With Cruise Planners advanced technology, there will be even more travel options available to advisors as the program evolves.

Cruise Planners agents have had thousands of sessions since launching in 2022
