Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa Coming To Melt Away Stress of Georgetown, Texas

Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa, which makes luxurious spa experiences available to the masses, is expanding its services to Georgetown, Texas. U.S. Army veteran of 33 years, Darrell Aubry, has signed on to open the franchise later this year.

After serving in the U.S. Army for 33 years, Darrell Aubrey will be retiring this fall to kick off the first of what he anticipates will be several Hand & Stone locations in Georgetown, Texas.

Aubrey spent years traveling as part of his military service, earning two master’s degrees and a PhD in leadership and management in the process. As Aubrey began looking to retire from the service and his current professorship with Army War College in Pennsylvania, him and his wife considered franchising. Following his first massage as part of his recovery from a shoulder injury, Aubrey realized that the massage industry afforded a compelling business opportunity.

After having a superior experience at Hand & Stone as compared to the initial competitor he’d first visited, Aubrey was on board. He requested a Hand & Stone territory in the Austin market and was awarded the Georgetown area, much to him and his wife’s joy, as the two were already intending to move to lower-traffic Georgetown after Aubrey closed out his professorship at Army War College. Aubrey and his wife plan to move to Georgetown at the end of the summer.

As of Spring 2019, Aubrey has signed the franchise agreement and is in the process of scouting real estate for his Hand & Stone location.

“We had been planning to move to Georgetown, which had a great population and not a lot of traffic, and then when the Hand & Stone corporate team came back to let us know that we had been awarded the Georgetown territory, it was just fate. We couldn’t be more excited,” Aubrey said.

Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spas specialize in the highest quality services at affordable prices, making soothing stress relief accessible to more people than ever. Hand & Stone offers deluxe massage, facial and hair removal experiences perfect for both beginners and seasoned veterans, seven days a week, with convenient hours. The spa also offers a convenient membership package, making regular care for the mind and body an easy choice.

“We’re thrilled to bring the Hand & Stone spa experience to the community of Georgetown,” said Hand & Stone VP of Franchise Development Bob McQuillan. “We make sure every client feels taken care of by customizing the services to their needs. A rejuvenating spa experience can be beneficial for people of all professions, and from all walks of life.”
