Now, the franchise has big plans to expand across the country and franchisees have the opportunity to join Squeeze at the ground floor as it continues its trajectory towards major success.&nbsp;“We strive to deliver a feel-good experience for our guests, team members and operating partners,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/brittany-driscoll-59157a5/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=how-much-does-it-cost-to-open-a-squeeze-massage-franchise-2723174" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Brittany Driscoll</a>, Squeeze co-founder &amp; CEO. “By joining our growing brand as we expand nationwide, our operating partners are at the forefront of disrupting an outdated, but highly sought after industry.&nbsp;Before Squeeze came on the scene, the market was limited by mediocre discount establishments and overpriced spas which were unattainable for most people to incorporate into their regular wellness routine. And don’t forget the hard-to-book appointments, awkward checkout counters and massages that were never the right pressure. Unsatisfied with those options, the team behind Squeeze built “A Way Better Massage Experience” that they desired.&nbsp;As Squeeze aims to develop 500 units by 2027, it is looking for driven, passionate and experienced Operating Partners to grow with. If you’re interested in knowing how much it costs to own a Squeeze franchise, read on.&nbsp;<h3>Squeeze Investment Costs</h3>Squeeze’s startup costs range between $543,645 and $889,521, depending on which market the store is located.

Operating Partners will also need to be aligned with the company’s mission, vision and core values, affectionately called “The Feels.”&nbsp;“We are looking for business owners who care about people’s experience and want to actively make a meaningful difference in their communities,” said Driscoll. “When we opened our flagship, I was in the shop every day connecting with both guests and team members for the first year. It’s important that there be this type of hands-on presence from leadership.”Looking ahead, the Squeeze team aims to sign over 100 units by the end of 2024, with the long-term vision of growing to 300-500 units in the next five to seven years.The investment ranges from $543,645 and $889,521 to open a Squeeze franchise, which includes working capital and initial franchise fees of $60,000.
