As two of the newest franchisees to join Phenix Salon Suites, Christopher and Cynathia Foreman bring nearly two decades of expertise in business operations, portfolio management and real estate investment to the table. This blend of experience has primed the Foreman’s as the ideal candidates to cement Phenix’s presence in Florida, with an aim to open their location in the Tamp Bay region. “We are ecstatic to join Phenix Salon Suites as our newest business venture. After years of success in the real estate field, we knew we wanted to take our next step with a brand that has a proven business model and is on track for immense growth – Phenix checks all of those boxes,” said Christopher. “The commitment and dedication from the brand’s leadership team have made us eager to begin the site selection process, and both Cynathia and I are looking forward to growing alongside Phenix Salon Suites for many years to come.” Similarly, Tina and Paul Peck are also extending the salon suite’s Florida reach, locking in a three-unit agreement that is slated to serve the Tampa Bay and Orlando communities. ## Growth trajectory Phenix Salon Suites is pushing forward on a positive growth trajectory, both domestically and abroad. Solidifying its stellar reputation with Entrepreneur Magazine’s 44th annual Franchise 500 list, Phenix Salon Suites was named as the #1 salon suite franchise in its category. “We are thrilled to welcome the Foreman’s and the Peck’s to our franchise system, and to continue driving growth across Florida,” said Gina Rivera, founder of Phenix Salon Suites. “Florida continues to be an amazing market for Phenix. We’ve seen existing locations in the area thrive and we’re confident this will continue to be the case, especially with the expertise and capabilities of these new franchisees. This is an amazing way to start 2023, and we hope this sets the tone for another record-breaking year.” Phenix Salon Suites was one of the first salon suite concepts to offer luxurious, spacious suites for independent salon and lifestyle professionals to rent on a month-to-month basis and become their own boss. The suites are equipped with upscale amenities including a styling chair, shampoo chair, two cabinets, a hair dryer and a shampoo bowl that hooks directly onto the sink. The salon essentials are designed to meet each professional’s basic needs while providing them the opportunity to customize their suites, set their own hours, and operate their businesses as sole proprietors. While no salon experience is necessary, the most successful franchisees have working knowledge of commercial real estate, general business experience, and are well-capitalized with the ability to invest $300,000 or more. Financing is available through our lending partners. The California-based salon suite franchise is a salon suite rental concept that offers an opportunity for salon and lifestyle professionals to operate their own business in a private salon suite within a larger, well-located salon. Phenix Salon Suites does not sell haircuts. The brand licenses individualized suites so professionals can service their clients in a safe and secure environment. Founded in 2007 by beauty expert and celebrity hairstylist Gina Rivera, who has family roots in the industry dating back to 1929, the Phenix suites concept has reinvented the salon industry. The company began franchising in 2012 and today has more than 340 salons across 33 states with continued plans to expand internationally. Recognized 10 years in a row on Entrepreneur’s Franchise Top 500 list, Phenix Salon Suites is acknowledged as an industry leader with franchise opportunities available in a number of key markets throughout the United States. Phenix Salon Suites is awarding our scalable, semi-absentee opportunity to motivated entrepreneurs. With no salon experience required, franchisees earn reliable revenue from leasing customizable suites to salon and lifestyle professionals. ## Entities - Franchising.com (publication) - Beauty & Wellness (sector) - Entrepreneur (publication) - Florida (location) - franchise agreements (topic) - Orlando (location) - Tampa (location) - Phenix Salon Suites (company) - Gina Rivera (person) - salon suites (topic) - multi-unit growth (topic) --- Originally reported by Franchising.com (https://www.franchising.com/news/20230202_phenix_salon_suites_drives_explosive_multiunit_growth_in_florida_through_tw.html).
