## Story

The brand closed the second quarter with new franchise signings, continued expansion from existing operators, and a new spa opening. Together, the activity reflects growing franchisee confidence in Woodhouse's differentiated position within the luxury wellness category and the strength of its business model.

"The operators joining us this quarter are sophisticated business entrepreneurs who understand the numbers and see long-term potential in this model," said Ariel Clay, Chief Operating Officer and Brand President of Woodhouse Spa. "They believe in what Woodhouse stands for and where it's going, and that confidence is what allows us to keep evolving the business in ways that support both the guest experience and franchisee growth.

Woodhouse's Q2 activity reflects ongoing interest from new and existing operators.

The brand also expanded its footprint in Ohio, where franchisees Elvis and Dawn Matkovic, who already operate two Woodhouse locations, opened their newest spa in Copley.

The company describes a strategy that includes a recurring revenue membership option and a medical aesthetic services program, with the aim of complementing existing operations and maintaining guest experience.

The strategy references a revenue mix including gift card programs, with revenue from gift cards contributing to franchise activity.

The components include a membership option, gift card performance and a planned MedSpa evolution, with the intention of enhancing guest loyalty and franchisee opportunities.
