Data Based On: 55 franchised locations open for the full 2024 calendar year provided annual gross sales data. A subset of 32 of these locations provided cash flow data.

* Annual Gross Sales data (55 locations) for revenue_top_quartile and revenue_bottom_quartile was calculated by taking the average of the top 14 (25th percentile) and bottom 14 (25th percentile) locations, respectively, from the provided list of 55 franchised locations' annual gross sales. The list was already in descending order. Top 25% average: $1,584,718.86. Bottom 25% average: $654,602.14. Average EBITDA (Cash Flow from Operations) of $236,208 for 32 locations was used for average_ebitda. Operating Margin (20.6%) for these 32 locations was used for ebitda_margin_pct. For best_guess_profit_low and best_guess_profit_high, average_ebitda ($236,208) was used as the high estimate. The low estimate ($177,156) was derived by assuming approximately 25% of EBITDA would be deducted for items explicitly excluded from 'Cash Flow from Operations' such as depreciation, amortization, debt interest, owner salary/withdrawal, home office expenses, business meals and travel, and managerial expenses (i.e., $236,208 * (1 - 0.25)).

SPAVIA Franchise Analysis

Day spas are popping up in upscale shopping centers, promising resort-like escapes at accessible prices—but can SPAVIA turn that vibe into real franchise profits? Item 19 unveils revenue stats that punch above the beauty industry's weight, backed by a healthy batch of SBA loans with minimal defaults. Is this the chill investment opportunity you've been massaging over, or does the data reveal hidden tensions?

Item 7 lays out the initial investment from $496,450 to $795,950, covering build-out in prime retail spaces, equipment, and inventory for massages, facials, and lash services. The $59,500 franchise fee gets you the proprietary SPAVIA system, membership program, and brand marks. Ongoing fees hit 6% royalty plus 1% ad fund and $650 monthly tech fee—standard but adding up on high-volume units. Item 19 shines with average gross revenue of $1,080,829 and median $1,049,180 across locations, though 0% EBITDA margin flags tight profitability; estimated profits range $177,156-$236,208 after expenses.

The system's no slouch: 59 locations as of 2024 FDD, up 7% from 55 in 2023, with 5 projected new units and just 3 transfers signaling stability over wild expansion. Fifty SBA loans averaging $422,404 and a low 4% default rate show franchisees secure financing and mostly repay—strong for services. Franchising since 2007 from Colorado HQ, SPAVIA targets general public with memberships driving recurring revenue, making it appealing if you nail location and operations in this $1M+ sales club.
