SweatHouz
SweatHouz franchises enable owners to operate mind and body wellness centers offering private infrared saunas, cold plunge contrast therapies, Vitamin C showers, and other non-invasive therapies under the SWTHZ brand and proprietary system. The franchisor's business model centers on selling franchise agreements, providing operational support, standards, and supplier designations while earning initial fees and ongoing royalties. They target health and wellness-minded adults in a competitive market for saunas that is still developing for infrared and contrast therapies.
