## Story

Carmel, Indiana recently celebrated the opening of a new Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa. Opened on Keystone Crossing, the location is being spearheaded by franchisee Mark Roger, who recently spoke with the Carmel Patch about his decision to franchise with the brand over other spa chains.

In an interview with the publication, Roger said, “In my work, I represent several spa franchises but elected to go with Hand & Stone because they really get the industry. They stay on the cutting edge of both massage (this year we will be introducing Cupping Therapy) and facial (this year we will be introducing our 4th LED Light Technique). The business fits will in the trend of wellness and fitness and the month-to-month membership commitment is very well received.”
