TL;DR
MassageLuXe aims to open at least 30 locations in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, bringing wellness to the market with its membership-based massage and spa services. The company is looking to expand its footprint in the DFW area, with a goal of reaching 250 locations by 2025.
According to the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA), the massage services industry is now worth $18 billion and growing. Combine that with the fact that Dallas has previously topped the list for the fastest-growing metro in the U.S., and it becomes obvious now is the perfect time to open a massage franchise in the city.
With no individual or corporate income tax, as well as an impressive $535 billion GDP according to the St. Louis Federal Reserve Bank, Dallas’ economy is strong and well-positioned for service-sector businesses. Not to mention, the city ranks in the top commercial real estate markets.
MassageLuXe feels that Dallas will be a crucial community to join in their nationwide effort to reach 250 locations by 2025. With one location already flourishing nearby in Southlake, Texas, CEO Mark Otter is feeling excited about the area’s prospects.
“We look forward to expanding our footprint in the DFW area beyond our current location in Southlake,” said Otter. “With a very strong start to growth this year, we are optimistic about the interest we are seeing already in this area. There is tremendous opportunity here.”
Beyond the city’s ample economic opportunities, it is Dallas’ reputation for having a helpful business community that draws the franchise in. Championing the success of business owners is a core value to MassageLuXe. They pride themselves on their robust support network that provides every franchisee with all the tools they need to succeed — from state-of-the-art management software to training from industry professionals.
“The DFW area has so much to offer. From great people to exceptional infrastructure and economics, our growth in this small business-friendly metro is a top priority,” said MassageLuXe Chief Growth Officer Kristen Pechacek. “We are looking for qualified individuals to help us build the MassageLuXe brand and bring health and wellness services to the community.”
The company looks forward to bringing on more partners that are passionate about improving the well-being and quality of life of others.
