"We are excited to bring additional Massage Envy clinics into the greater Detroit and Lansing areas," said Donald McConnell, Massage Envy regional developer for Michigan.* "As we continue to expand across the state, we are looking for entrepreneurs who want to start their own business with the support of a very successful and rewarding business model."
McConnell and his business partner, William Billot, currently own two locations outside of Detroit, one in Rochester Hills and the other in West Bloomfield. The pair also owns locations in Toledo, Maumee and Strongsville, Ohio, as well as Plymouth Meeting, Pa. To fuel further expansion in Michigan, McConnell is actively seeking qualified franchisees in the region. He joined Massage Envy more than six years ago when he was searching for an industry with tremendous growth. *
"I was looking to join a team that was leading the revolution of bringing massages to the masses," added McConnell. "The Massage Envy corporate executive team has continued to prove that their business model is a successful one, which makes us confident each day in their leadership and support."
Today, there are more than 865 Massage Envy and Massage Envy Spa locations in 47 states, making it the largest system of franchised massage clinics in the industry.* The company also is the world's largest employer of licensed/registered massage therapists with at least 18,000 therapists providing over 16 million massages a year to a total of more than 1.3 million members.*
Over the next several years, Massage Envy is seeking to expand across the country with Massage Envy Spa leading the way in these development goals.* To fuel this growth, the company is looking for specific franchisee candidates who have the ability and the desire to learn and follow a system that ensures value and customer satisfaction. Qualified franchisee candidates should have business sales or management experience, but do not necessarily need to have a massage therapy or spa operations background.* They also should possess a minimum net worth of $500,000 and liquid assets of at least $150,000. Massage Envy and Massage Envy Spa franchisees can expect their initial investment to range from approximately $352,000*- $569,000, including the franchisee fee.
