Data Based On: 100 franchised MH Businesses open and in continuous operation for 12 months or longer as of December 31, 2024 (Franchised Retreats) provided revenue data. 86 of these franchised locations provided expense data.

* Average net profit per unit calculated from Table 6 'Net Profit' percentage (18.75%) applied to the average revenue of the 86 units that reported expense data ($91,697,100 / 86 = $1,066,245.35 average revenue per unit). Calculation: $1,066,245.35 * 0.1875 = $199,921. For best_guess_profit_low and best_guess_profit_high, the same calculated average net profit is used as a single point estimate was provided, representing the net profit after total expenses (excluding certain labor and payroll taxes).

Heights Wellness Retreat Franchise Analysis

In the booming wellness industry, Heights Wellness Retreat stands out with its membership-driven model blending massages, facials, and innovative touchless therapies in a resort-like haven. Item 19 disclosures offer a window into real unit performance, while litigation notes and a dip in locations hint at underlying tensions. Can this spa franchise deliver the balanced returns its serene branding promises?

Item 7 in the 2025 FDD outlines an initial investment of $622,428 to $819,659 for a turnkey retreat, including build-out for therapy rooms and product retail. Ongoing fees hit 6% royalty plus 3% brand fund, plus $650 monthly tech and $114 rapid response—totaling about 9% plus fixed costs that could squeeze margins in slower months. Item 19 shines with average gross sales of $1,048,151 and median $935,940 across units, alongside a tight estimated profit range of $199,921, suggesting consistent but not explosive profitability for mature locations in urban/suburban spots.

System health shows 101 franchise and 1 corporate location after shrinking from 103 in 2023—a -2% contraction—with 3 terminations, 14 transfers, and just 2 projected new units. One SBA loan averages $1,343,000, indicating financing access but limited uptake. Buyer beware: breach of contract disputes, development delays, and a bankruptcy history in FDD notes signal execution risks, making multi-unit scalability tougher despite strong per-unit revenues. Dig into FDD Items 20 and 21 for closure patterns before committing.
