## Story

VIO Med Spa’s has an agreement with Washington, D.C.-based Healthy Living Ventures, a franchise group operated by a mother and her two daughters. The trio plan to open their first med spa in Northern Virginia.

Healthy Living Ventures operates six Tropical Smoothie Cafés and two Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spas. It is co-owned by Toya Evans and her two daughters Lauren Williamson and Chanel Grant – who bring seven years of experience from operating businesses that focus on healthier products and lifestyles while giving back to the community.

“We’re excited to expand with a female-focused group like Healthy Living Ventures,” said VIO Med Spa CEO Ryan Rose. “With these new franchisees’ track record of success, we trust in their expertise. Add in their ties to the area, and we couldn’t have found a better partner as we begin our journey in Virginia and Washington, D.C.”

Evans has been recognized as an emerging leader in the Tropical Smoothie Café franchise system and serves on the DC Co-op Board, National Marketing Committee and Franchise Leadership Council for that brand. She received the Multi-Unit Franchising MVP Award in March 2022 as well. Additionally, Chanel Grant serves on the national Product Committee for their Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa brand.

VIO Med Spa offers the latest cutting-edge technologies and therapies available. Its highly trained, certified staff understands that every guest’s needs are different, so the med spa individualizes health and beauty plans for all its guests.
