To keep pace toward its goal of 175 boutiques in operation by the end of 2025, The NOW plans to double its footprint by the end of the year.&nbsp;As part of this growth plan, The NOW is currently targeting Northeast markets from Massachusetts and New York down to Washington D.C. and Maryland for expansion.“We see expansive growth opportunities in the Northeast region,” said Jeff Platt, president of The NOW. “Our target markets are densely populated urban cities or suburban neighborhoods that offer the potential to reach Millennial and Gen Z guests. The Northeast offers plenty of opportunities to do just that.”&nbsp;The NOW Massage is a Los Angeles-based massage concept that was founded on the principle that self-care is a necessity, not a luxury.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/margauxlushing/2019/02/28/how-the-now-founder-gara-post-designed-las-most-stunning-self-care-oasis/?sh=922bd1c1b048&utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-the-now-massage-is-targeting-the-northeast-for-massive-growth-2718688" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Dubbed</a> “L.A.'s most stunning self-care oasis” by Forbes, its&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/thenowmassage/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-the-now-massage-is-targeting-the-northeast-for-massive-growth-2718688" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">highly Instagrammable locations</a> feature clean, modern interiors that are inspired by nature, creating an inspired setting for the ultimate zen experience.“The NOW has reimagined the accessibility of a walk-in neighborhood massage spot with the premium menu of services and beautiful design typically associated with upscale day spas,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/gara-post-45bb836/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-the-now-massage-is-targeting-the-northeast-for-massive-growth-2718688" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Gara Post</a>, Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer. “We filled the void in the marketplace for high-quality massage services at an affordable price point in an inspired setting.”The brand caters to Millennial and Gen Z guests, and with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.brookings.edu/blog/the-avenue/2020/07/30/now-more-than-half-of-americans-are-millennials-or-younger/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-the-now-massage-is-targeting-the-northeast-for-massive-growth-2718688" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">more than half the U.S.population</a> now being Millennial, Gen Z or younger, there is a wealth of opportunity for The NOW to serve its target guests nationwide.
