Together, they ensure customized, data-driven plans that boost traffic, membership growth, and overall 4-wall profitability. Our owners are hands-on, but they typically concentrate on the big-picture items like marketing and advertising, finance and managing the manager. It isn't typical for an owner to work behind the counter in our business, as our investment draws a sophisticated investor. Hand & Stone Franchisees should be fully immersed in the daily functions of the business. A typical day in the life of an H&S Franchisee consists of managing the manager, trouble-shooting personnel issues, grass roots marketing, making changes to the schedule, handling finances and setting up promotional events. It is recommended to employ a full-time manager and an assistant manager, so they are concentrating on the big picture items. The most important segment of our business is customer service, so honing the skills of the management team and making sure they are implementing those skills-sets are essential. We are seeking business-minded individuals, whether experienced franchise owners or health and wellness enthusiasts looking for the right opportunity. We welcome you to join us in bringing our industry-leading wellness franchise to communities across the country. Our ideal franchisee candidate is passionate about: • Health and wellness • Fostering wellbeing in their community • Making a positive change in the lives of others Their backgrounds typically include some of the following: • Leadership - whether in a corporate setting, the military, or as a previous franchise owner • Sales and/or management experience • Strong business acumen • Prior experience with health and wellness brands • Hand & Stone membership Samantha Tacca - Director of Franchise Development stacca@handandstone.com (215) 756-1392 Kristie Kalinowski - VP of Franchise Development kkalinowski@handandstone.com (401) 932-9031
