Recently, Hand &amp; Stone received wide-spread acclaim after being named No. 8 on Forbes&#39; &quot;Best Franchises to Buy List&quot; in the high investment category. According to an article in <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/karstenstrauss/2019/06/19/best-worst-franchises-buy-own/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=hand-stone-massage-and-facial-featured-as-one-of-forbes-2019-best-franchises-to-buy-2710458#bfe78817d79d" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">Forbes</a>, the brand was one of two massage franchises on the list and was featured amid well-known fast-casual and QSR brands such as Culver&#39;s and Panera.&nbsp;

According to the article, the franchise industry research firm <a href="https://www.frandata.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=hand-stone-massage-and-facial-featured-as-one-of-forbes-2019-best-franchises-to-buy-2710458" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">FRANdata</a> narrowed a list of 3,300 active brands down to a roster of 60 franchises&mdash;the 30 best and worst&mdash;based on activity, performance and scale.

By using analytical tools, FRANdata was able to measure each franchise&rsquo;s true performance of success and rate based on the investment level. According to Forbes, Hand &amp; Stone Massage and Facial Spa has seen an enviable 25.41% 5-Year Growth Rate, second only to Culver&rsquo;s.&nbsp;

Bob McQuillan, Vice President of Franchise Development for Hand &amp; Stone Massage and Facial Spa, was ecstatic to hear that the brand landed the No. 8 spot on Forbes&rsquo; &ldquo;Best Franchises to Buy&rdquo; list.

&ldquo;We are the only spa and facial concept to make the list. That is such an honor,&rdquo; said McQuillan. &ldquo;We have worked very hard to get to the place we are at today and being ranked by Forbes&rsquo; as one of the best franchises to buy in 2019 speaks volumes for our business.&rdquo;

The ability to tap into demand across a wide customer base positions Hand &amp; Stone Massage and Facial Spa for continued expansion, especially as one of the leaders in the massage and facial industry. Additionally, Hand &amp; Stone Massage and Facial Spa have shown significant growth in 2019 by signing on nine franchisees across the U.S.&nbsp;

I want to provide services that benefit the health and wellness of the communities that we serve.&rdquo;

Hand &amp; Stone&rsquo;s convenient membership package not only lends itself to profitability and growth, but the spa&rsquo;s services also feature a variety of new and innovative luxury experiences that have undoubtedly helped catapult the brand to success.

With no intention of slowing down, Hand &amp; Stone&rsquo;s services are being spread across the country. The brand is actively looking to grow in key markets like New Orleans, San Antonio, Pittsburgh, Boston, Kansas City and more.
