Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa Featured in Franchise Times Top 200+ List

The Top 200+ is an annual ranking produced by Franchise Times of the 500 largest franchise systems in the United States by global systemwide sales. The project is the result of a five-month-long process that utilizes research and reporting by industry experts to create rankings that are comprehensive, credible, objective and reader-friendly.

According to Franchise Times, the 200 largest U.S.-based franchisors grew combined annual sales by more than $26.9 billion last year to a total of $671.3 billion since the previous year. Among those brands was Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa, a leading spa concept that has provided luxury beauty and wellness services to consumers since 2004.

Hand & Stone’s ranking at No. 177 is due largely in part to the brand’s increased scope and broadening of marketing efforts that puts franchisees at the forefront of the business. The brand has experienced 1300 percent growth since 2009 and shows no signs of slowing down as health and wellness franchises are increasingly in demand.

This isn’t the only list Hand & Stone has made this year. In February, the brand came in at No. 13 on Franchise Times’ “Fast & Serious” list, and in July, the spa was ranked No. 8 on Forbes’ 2019 “Best Franchises To Buy” in the high investment category.

“It is such an honor to be considered among other fantastic brands in the Franchise Times Top 200+, and to see the franchising industry as a whole experiencing such tremendous growth,” said Bob McQuillan, Vice President of Franchise Development for Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa. “We look forward to what we hope to be another year of fantastic performance, continued expansion and unparalleled customer satisfaction by providing relaxing massage and facial services at an attractive price point.”
