Our diversified revenue model has really been quite helpful to our business, because if we're struggling hiring massage therapists, we can try to drive revenue through our skincare program, and vice versa. If you are considering a franchise opportunity, I say start sooner rather than later. I really wish my husband and I had started this much younger in our career. When you choose a franchise that has a great road map for success, it makes everything easy. It's got scalability, you have great support. I just think it was the best decision we ever made. And the easier they make it through these systems, the easier it is for us as a franchisee to focus on our team members, our guests, and building our business.

The people who started it
are still part of your story.
Allison and Marty Langenderfer founded Spavia in Denver with a belief that resort-inspired wellness should feel within reach. Many of the biggest names in spa and massage franchising are now owned by private equity firms. Spavia isn’t. The family that started it still leads it.
Private equity typically buys to sell within three to seven years. Spavia isn’t being built toward a flip.
Our success is tied to the long-term health of the brand and its owners, not a fund’s target return.
You’ll meet the founders as part of your ownership process, and they’re still here after you open.
A brand earning recognition.
